Hi, I bought a computer in november last year. All worked fine under Windows2000. Then, i installed Windows XP, because Windows2000 didn't recognized the onBoard-RAID-Controller correctly. But now i have another problem: at my secondary IDE-Channel i connected two devices: a Toshiba SD-M1612...

Hi, I am having troubles with my PS/2 connected mouse and keyboard, either one or the other or both but mostly the mouse. The keyboard/mouse basically becomes unusable (nothing happens - as if not connected), however if I disconnect the cable to the failing device and reconnect it it works. As...

Hi there, I'm new to this NG, so thank you very much so long for your help. I have just bought a PC with a GA-K8VM800M motherboard which I am very happy with. Upon booting, I notice that the S.M.A.R.T. function is disabled on my motherboard. Where do I enable it again? I want this to be...

Would anyone know what chip is used to enable vivo function on this graphic card? The chip itself would be located on the backside. Many graphic card manufacturers used to use Phillips chips but Gigabyte could solder in a chip from any number of suppliers. Also, any comments on using the vivo...

Considering this as an alternative to the MSI K8N Neo Platinum I was going for. Don't need the Gigabit Lan, Raid, or 7.1 sound of the MSI. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance -- Derek

I have recently aquired a GA-6VXC7-4X-P motherboard and am trying to upgrade bios from 6XVC7-4X.f8 to 6XVC7-4X.fc. (the one supplied by gigabyte) using the dos upgrade prog FLASH853.exe. Everything goes ok until the programming stage when it hangs after the first two sectors. My original bios is...

Just installed a GA-7DXE motherboard with an athlon XP2600 Thoroughbred cpu. When I boot up, the system only reports the cpu as a 1.1 ghz. On m/board is an option to change cpu speed from 100 to 133 but if I change from default of 100 then system will not boot. This mothorboard is advertised as...

I have a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro3 motherboard and I need a new CPU fan. All the fans that appeal to me look like they require a CPU mounting bracket/holes in the motherboard, but off hand I don't recall seeing any. Does anybody happen to know for certain if I can use a CPU fan that mounts this...

I have a GA-8IPE1000 Pro3 with a P4 2.8GHz (can provide more details if needed) I recently grabbed a copy of SpeedFan to monitor my system's temperatures to help me position the fans in a new case. FWIW, my goal is to go positive pressure for the entire case and filter the air intake to reduce...

I happened to be poking around in my case and unplugged the chipset fan... Damn is that thing loud -- It's noiser then my CPU fan. Any thoughts as far as replacing it goes? The gigabyte replacement is $20, there are a few other chipset fans available that are the in the same price ballpark. I'm...

I'm running a GA-8IPE1000 Pro3 (latest BIOS, for whatever that's worth) Is there any way to turn off the power to these external devices when the system is powered off? I've got a few accessories that light up when they detect power coming from the USB ports, and a USB external hard drive which...

I recently picked up a GA-K8NXP-SLI. Looking at the block diagram in the manual, the one SATA adapters (looks like it's on the PCI bus), the other four SATA ports are run directly off the chipset. I'm thinking that the higher performance drives should be on the SATA adapter running off the...

I just purchased a new motherboard, CPU, and video card, built the system, ran memtest86 and I'm getting memory errors. I purchased: Athlon X64 3000+ CPU Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI Radeon X550 P180 Case From my old system I scavenged:

Built a new system a couple weeks ago, GA-8IPE1000 Pro3 with a P4/2.8GHz/800FSB/HyperThreading. In GMT 2.0 in the "Processor information" it shows current speed as 2800MHz, which is good. It also says External Clock 200MHz -- Is this representative of the FSB, in which case shouldn't it be...

I have a GA-K8NXP-SLI and I'm currently using a ATI x550 video card. I don't game, and don't need the SLI capability, but I'm wondering if I can install a second PCI-Ex16 card for use with multi-monitoring or do they have to be configured in SLI and outputting to a single monitor? -- In case of...

Thoughts/opinions -- After updating the primary BIOS and confirming everything works, should I update both BIOSes, or leave the backup. -- Ah, the miracle mile, where value wears a neon sombrero and there's not a single church or library to offend the eye.
