If I enable "Wake by alarm" and set the time to say 08:30:00 so the PC will be ON at start of the day, then I always get a BSOD (WinXP Pro sp2). If I start the system manually at around that time, it starts normally. Am using Kingston KVR800D2N5/1G DDR2-800 1GB RAM - might be relevant Any clues?

Good Grief !!! Does anybody know what is going on here? This is my third, yes, that's right, THIRD! GA-7N400 Pro (R2) that will not read any of my 6 Maxtor hdds !!!! Has anyone a clue as what it is I need to do to get these little bums to read ANY hdd? I've switched cables and even had one board...

Just installed a new 250gb seagate ATA/100 hard disk model: st3250823a running windows xp pro. For some reason it seems to be stuck in PIO mode 16.6 mb/s and is realy slow. I can't seem to change it to UDMA mode. My second hard disk (primary slave) is a 120gb seagate and thats running fine in...

As header, the Gigabyte website seems to be worse than useless with lots of broken links and 404 errors. I can't find a site that hosts the files themselves, they usually link to the (non-existant) Gigabyte site. I built my system yesterday using this motherboard. Solved the usual problems (thanks...

For years now I've had problems with not just downloads but just navigating Gigabyte's site. SLoowwwww. Seriously slow. As of right now I can't get the chipset or audio drivers for my old Nforce2 motherboard. Hard drive went south & I've installed a new build on a new harddrive & I...

Hi all, Does anybody know if there's a maximum hard disk size that this board can recognise? I'm using the latest BIOS, F9. I'd like to get a hdd at around the 200GB mark, but there's no info on the gigabyte web site that will tell me if this is acceptable. Thanks. --

Hello Here's my BIOs query for you wonderful fixit people: A week prior to the checksum message described below my PC started up with an extra and unusual message, something along the lines of: "Primary Bios fail, now booting using secondary BIOS.." Of course I shoud have got help then, but I...

Does this board do that? I have the EX38-DS4 board and when I was getting my feet wet with over clocking the board would take 20 seconds and reboot to stock when I had an unstable overclock. Great feature. Looking at a second board for lighter duty work and decided on the P35- DS3R model but unsure...

Hi all, I am baffled by this. Every so often, around 2-3 times a day about 90% of the running applications go into a 'not responding' state but the PC is not hung. I can still start Task Manager and launch new applications (although they soon hang after launch). If you wait 5-10 minutes then...

Has the GA-7VT600-L got any multiplier adjustment??????? TIA

Hello, I have a Gigabyte GA-7VT600 1394 motherboard + Athlon 2600 XP CPU. The hard drives are one Seagate 160gig on the primary IDE channel and two 80gig Seagate 7200.7 Sata drives configured as RAID 0 on the motherboards Sata connectors. The motherboard's RAID function is controlled by...

Well, I think this just started to do this. I know the CPU fan isn't bad, because when I plug it into CPU fan port 2 (instead of port 1) it spins just fine. Has anyone seen this behavior and have a suggestion on how it can be remedied, besides obviously switching from a 3-to-4 pin power adapter...

Hello Everyone, i have the system configured and all of the drivers loaded. AM2 4450e, 2gb crucial ballistix 800mhz, segate 300gb sata, philips dhmi cable, sony bravia LCD tv. I have the digital sound enabled but I am not getting sound to my television. Seems there is an ATI HDMI option anda...

You can read one excellent review here http://www.ocworkbench.com/2006/gigabyte/ga-965p-dq6/g1.htm

I have just built a new system based on GA-M59SLI-S5. I keep getting BSOD errors. Whilst investigating I have looked to see what is set running at start-up and see something called JMRaidTool.exe. I suspect it is something to do with one of the Gigabyte drivers but have no idea what. Any ideas?

Hi, I have a K8NXP-9 board and 2 x Corsair CMX1024-3200C2 RAM. The RAM is rated at 2.5-3-3-6 timings, but the BIOS on the motherboard (F6) sets it at 3.3.3.8 by default. I can change the timings in the advanced chipset setup menu in BIOS. However, the BIOS ignores the last three timings,...

I've been chasing my ass on this for better than two weeks and I finally pinpointed where this is coming from but can't figure out how to fix it. If I attempt to play any Quicktime .mov files that are saved on any drive that is on IDE 1 or 2 cable, it will crash the Quicktime program. This happens...

Hi Gigabyte, I've been having problems with my Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R sens i first got it it's not broken, it just won't work well with my Crucial DDR2 BallistiX PC8500 RAM. I think the problem lies in how the GA-P35C-DS3R distribute current to the RAM. At default (auto) my RAM get's from 2.0v to...

I know it's an old mobo but I'm still using it and it's not been giving me any problems. I haven't overclocked it at all ever since I installed it, but I'm new to all this overclocking business so if anyone knows of a website that can tell me the things I need to know in order to overclock safely,...
