Okay, the last time I built a computer PC133 ram was something new and the mobo pretty much autosensed everything and came up with the right anwers. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I've just bought a GA-7NNXP with PC2700 SDRAM and an Athlon XP 2800+ CPU. The Award BIOS configuration...

Hi, Anyone able to get this OS to work with this board? I am able to install Windows XP SP1 just fine, but when I try to install Windows 2003 Standard Server, the installation constantly blue-screens or complains that files are corrupt or missing. I am using the original MS VLK installation...

i have the 700npro2 board. i tried installing a volcano 7 on my 2600+ XP but there is a capacitor that blocks the heatsink. is there any quality heatsink that will fit on this board?

Hi, I've had my 8KNXP running for about a month now. I have my old P2 200mhz machine running beside it. Every night I backup 700mb from a 3rd computer on the LAN. I have no other complaints with the 8KNXP other than the copy time problem below. With the P2 machine the backup takes about 20...

Manual says to punch CTRL+F1 to get into advanced settings. Tried this durring and after POST, and while looking at the BIOS menu screen (the one you get by hitting DEL during POST), with no effect. Using BIOS version F6. What am I doing wrong?? Also, is there a way to disable APM on this...

I recently moved to Xp from Me and I thought it was possible to update the Xp SCSI driver to that on Promise webpage; but I found promise says to do this updating only before installing XP. I have 2 questions: 1) is ter any other way to do this? 2) now in Control Panel - SCSI I have "controller...

Hi: The latest official BIOS on the Gigabyte website says the GA-7DXR can go up to 2600+. Who out there has actually got a 2400+ or 2600+ to work on this board? Thanks. CSL

I've tried and tried to connect the IEEE1394 connector to the case front panel (Skyhawk PSR5619), but I have had no success. It *should* be easy as all the plugs that go on the pins are separate - so no rewiring to do - just matching the plugs to the pins. The board has 9 pins: 12345 6789X

Hi everyone, Any thoughts on this board? Is it new? I haven't seem much around in ways of reviews for it and am probably going to pick one up later. Any opinions appreciated. Thanks.

Installed a new HSF application on my system tonite. found 2 capacitors leaking on the mobo, bulging on top as if they're ready to pop (Gigabyte 7VTXE). So far it dont look as if they've dripped any dielectric onto the mobo yet but getting close. no apparent problems as of now but for those...

I am in a quandry as to what to buy, either the 7DXE or 7VA. I know the 7VA has USB 2.0 and and a faster FSB and takes PC2700 RAM, but I am really strapped for cash and am using an Athlon 1.2 Ghz at 200 FSB anyway. The price difference from Dabs is £9.00 and PC2100 ram is the same price...

Well, after two hours of fighting to install XP, I remembered that I was unable to install an OS while connected to the Promise RAID controller on the GA-7VRXP. So, I plugged the HD into IDE0 and installed XP without a hitch. Well, now I want to put the HD back on my RAID controller, however,...

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...

Hi, Just switched on my main PC this morning only to find it will not boot up and I get constant beeps and a blank screen. Monitor does not receive signal, fan whirs and so on. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7DX. I have tried taking out and reseating the RAM and video card but just get the...

Is it just me or is this motherboard a big black hole on the internet? I can't find nothing about it, still it seems pretty recent. Works pretty fine by the way, a single channel nForce2 400 solution. Audio was crap, but with my SB512 it's fine. Also, it was very very cheap (~$70). Doing some...

What's the secret to using a hard drive on IDE 3 or 4? I know IDE 1 is recommended for a single drive; is that because they will not work on 3 and 4 or do they just work better on 1 and 2?

Since about a week the NB cooler in my GA-8KNXP has a problem: Whenever I turn on the system he make a loud noise for about 5 seconds and then becomes "silent" again. Obviously its broken and I have read that this is not uncommon with Gigabyte NB coolers. Now I'm pondering my options and I have to...
