Hello I have a question about latest bios to use for GA-MA790X-UD4 main board : F2A dated 2009/03/10 or F3F dated 2009/03/09 F3F is older than F2A ?? Not very clear http://www.giga-byte.com/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3002

I just started looking into the SATA Raid manual for this board. It explains how to set up SATA Raid in the BIOS, but once the Raid array is setup, it states that the partitioning and formatting of the drives is done in Windows (using XP). I don't see how this can happen, when XP won't even be...

I have an 8KNXP system in which an IDE drive is the boot drive and another IDE is a secondary. I have a WD 1200 JD and would like to install that as a third non-boot drive. The hardware connections hopefully won't be a problem. I assume I can use the SATA1_SB Intel connector on the mb. But what...

I have 3 SATA drives and I want to set up the first in IDE mode with the OS on it and the other 2 in a RAID0 as a file storage drive for very large files. But when I go into the setup for the RAID it looks like it's either all RAID or all IDE... I can't seem to find a way to mix the 2 at all.

Hello, I just upgraded my PC with a GA-8IK1100, an Intel P4 3.0 GHz 800MHz Hyper Threaded CPU, 4 dimms of Corsair Value 512 MB DDR PC3200 RAM & a Western Digital 120 GB 7200 SATA hard drive. I pulled my old hard drive & was attempting to do a clean XP Pro install on the new SATA drive but am...

I have tried the drivers on Gigabyte's site and Silicon's site and have had no luck, keep getting Code 10 in the device manager for this chip. Anyone having any better luck Thanks John

hi everybody, how could I use the internal speaker for sound out, so I do not have to attach external speakers? greets susanne

I have an MSI KT880 Delta. My first question is: is this board any good? I was broke and it was the cheapest board at the time. Second question: anyone have experience with PC Chip boards? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Third question: Any idea why my current KT880 keeps loosing track of my HDD's? ...

The are new Audio, LAN and Chip set drivers on the Gigabyte web page: http://www.gigabyte-usa.com/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=2583 My system is functioning without problem (Win XP prof sp2) - the system was built in Dec 07 using the then most recent drivers.

I tried the integrated sound on a GA-7VAXP. Your board may use the same chip--I don't know. My 7vaxp was using the realtek driver. My sound is hooked up to high end stereo. As for fidelity, it sounded every bit as good as the Aural Vortex which I have used for several years now. On Wed, 30 Jul...

This gigabyte ga-8ipe1000 has "Intel 82801EB Ultra ATA Storage Controllers" I can not find upto date best drivers for this any where on the Internet nor on Gigabytes supplied CD.At the moment I am using the basic "Generic Ide Driver" in WIN98. I feel the performance could be better. That is I can...

i'm about to buy myself some new computer parts, but i'm a bit unsure which memory i should get. the mainboard is going to be a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP with an intel p4 2,4 ghz cpu. since the board supports dual channel ram, i thought two ddr400 ram bars would be good, but to be honest i dont really know...

Hi, Just built a PC using a GA-7N400 Pro2 with an Athlon XP2800+ and a Radeon 9600XT. I decided to buy a Maxtor 6Y080MO Plus 9, 80 Gb SATA HDD, and just can't get Windows XP to recognize that the drive exists during the XP installation process. This is what I have done so far. Can anyone tell me...

Any comment and experience with GA-81875 Ultra motherboard ?? Thanks.

I am rebuilding my computer to upgrade from a P4 system. I am re-using the same hard drive and cd-rw drives that I was previously using. All IDE drives functioned properly previous to new MoBo installation. Motherboard, memory and processor are new retail items. I repartitioned my hard drive...

I want to upgrade my computer to a P4 (2.8GHz/800FSB) motherboard. I dont know wich one to choose. I was thinking to buy GA-8IPE1000 Pro2 with an Intel chipset. The Australian PC User says that 8S655FX Ultra, SIS chipset is even better. I have two criteria in mind: overclocking and future...

I am in BIOS hell. Through a comedy of errors, I have managed to trash the main and backup BIOS on a 7VTXH+. To add insult to injury, I ordered two pre-flashed BIOS chips from BadFlash.com only to find out after the fact that the original BIOS chips are soldered to the mobo. Bleh. In any event,...

I have the GA-M55Plus-S3G board that has front panel sound connection for 8 channel sound, but my case has plugs for 6 channel sound, so is there a way to make it work? all the plugs are individual, not one solid connector if that helps? Strut

If you have been following this thread, you would have read about the CPU temp running at 72 C. Loads of suggestions came in, Grateful to all of you for that. Nice man at the shop replaced the MoBo, put on the new PCU31-VH gigabyte cooler Ultra (superb), ran the bios on F15 ( the bios that adds...
