Can I install pc133 sdram in this board or MUST it only be pc100. I have a pc133 128Mb module that works fine however the kingston 256Mb pc133 will not work. Whats going wrong? Any suggestions? Newt

I'm running Windows XP Pro on this motherboard with an XP2500+ (Barton) processor at normal speeds (not overclocked in any way). I had 512MB of PC2700 RAM and thought I'd upgrade to 1GB. I bought another 512MB DIMM, also PC2700 but obviously not the same make. I installed it and ran Memtest86...

The Geil 512 paired modules are very attractively priced ~ $220 for 1G 3700 sets. The CAS etc settings are not the most aggressive, however, it appears the FSB speed is more important than the memory settings, at least for performance. Has anyone had any useful experiences with the Geil? At...

No matter what i have done to change the system(power, ram, hard drive) whenever i try to run a program like pcmark or 3dmark the system just turns right off. The screen goes black, makes these unusual deep beeping noises and then shuts right off. I used to have a 300w and upgraded it, but...

I got bored with the "Standard Dual PCI IDE Controller" in Windows 2000, so I put together two INF files by combining stuff from the Intel INF files (which basically only installs the standard pci ide driver with another name) and from some of the nForce 2.45 drivers. The result is this...

Hello Just installed a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro 2 and all seems fine except... With my Abit NF7-S it will unlock the CPU (I only assume this is the problem) and allow me to use all the multipliers. But the Gigabyte board does not allow through the bios, can't find it (CTRL and F1 reveals nothing),...

Ever since my Nforce LAN (GA7N400) died I'm doing some investigating. Aparrently there is a MAC chip in the Nforce (aside from the RTL8201 LAN chip that is near the CD_IN. The RealTek site says that this is probably the problem as the 8201 requires no drivers. The MAC chip does. Perhaps this is my...

I am using a GA-7VAX with the built-in sound, connected optically to Creative 5.1 speakers. Could anyone tell me the recommended "sound hardware" choices for GTA3? Thanks!

Hi, My 8KNXP system shows only 1 CPU in Task manager, yet 2 CPU's in Device Manager - the CPU is a P4 2.8c. HT has always been enabled in the bios, so I am curious if this is working correctly as it does not appear to. Bios is F5. Does anyone have any ideas?

My motherboard manual says the following: "This mainboard has a Socket-462 processor socket for an AMD K7 type CPU. You can install any of these processors on the mainboard" What is the fastest AMD processor available is this board? I currently have a 1.2 GHz, but want to know what I can upgrade...

I am curious how the new bios has changed things with all the ram issues with the 8KNXP??? Any success stories or unsuccessful ones??? Is Mushkin, Corsair, Kingston or Geil the way to go???

I've installed the GA-VT600 1394 motherboard and now after taking the oppertunity of reinstalling WindowsXP I've ended up with a problem Network Controller device. Under Device Manager it tells me that; The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28) Location: PCI bus 0, device 16,...

Installed a XP2200 and Vcore is 1.690 and suppose to be 1.65. How can the Vcore be changed to the spec voltage for the processor? This board is a replacement for a fried VKML. The VKML recognised the 2200 properly with the specified voltage 1.65.

Hi, I'm a gigabyte fan for a long time, and I just purchased a GA-8IG1000-MK µATX motherboard. I also puchased a Pentium 4 2.6C, but didn't received it yet. So to test the motherboard, I put an old Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz into it, but it didn't boot up at all !! There is even no video signal, so I can't...

Hi, Following my previous post, After looking around on the newsgroups, I found that it may be because of the RAM. The Corsair CMX512-3200LL (XMS Low Latency) may not be supported until I flash the bios with the latest revision. So I need to find some other RAM to be able to boot up, flash the...

....my GA-7N400E-L *squeaks* when starting Mother Board Monitor 5... I don't know from where the sound comes and I have no speaker connected! It's really really really spooky! Any ideas? It only squeaks for a while when starting MBM5 then it's OK. /M

I am looking at building my first Gigabyte system. I have built Soyo systems before, but have read good reviews on the GA-7NNXP board. The system will be used for CAD (SolidWorks). I am looking for a rock solid system with plenty of memory and fast I/O. This system will not be Oc'ed. It just has to...

These are INF files which enable the MS driver for Standard PCI IDE controller to work with the nForce MCP2 IDE controller. I take no responsibility of anything that might happen to your computer when using these. It should work for 98/ME/2K/XP but is only tested on W2K and also got a positive...

Works a treat exactly as Bob says. Quiet? Definitely. If you want the DPS in, remove the fan - it runs cool anyway. Also, consider removing the fan for the nortbridge chip. If you want, put a zalman nb32j on the northbridge *during* assembly for better cooling. With a digital sensor on the outside...
