I have a 7DXR+ and I've connected a 200GB Seagate drive onto the normal IDE channel (not RAID). I'm using F9, with Windows XP sp1, and all is well. I haven't tried it on the RAID channels, maybe try it on the normal channels, and see if it works. -- Vu.

Hi, I've a Gigabyte 8VM533M motherboard with an P4 2.0 GHz, 256 MB DDRAM, integrated ProSavageDDR graphics and a Barracuda 80 GB HDD.

When attempting to install WindowsXP it hangs during the first "starting windows" which occurs right after the first files are copied. So far I have tried disabling all onboard devices, different memory, and installing the raid drivers even though my harddisk isn't on the RAID. Any ideas?

Hi: I've goat a GA-7N400 Pro2 motherboard that will not identify my boot drive (Seagate Ultra IDE ST3120022A 120 GB.) on the initial power up. After failing to identify the drive, it continues to go throught the boot sequence identifying my SATA drives and hangs after giving me the...

Riddle me this. After upgrading the Bios from F5 to F6 on a GA-8IGX (845G) using the @BIOS Windows utility, everything went fine, but every time I reboot I get three beeps and the following message: MAIN BIOS IS WIDE RANGE PROTECTION ERROR! Enter flash utility or other key to continue. I enter...

When I try to boot from my new SATA drive it hangs before I get into Windows (XP), the drive works fine when I boot from my other IDE drive. I have tried using Maxblast to copy the partition from IDE to SATA and then a fresh install, I have unplugged the IDE and tried moving the SATA port but it...

Hi, Is there a limit to the IDE hard drive size a GA8-IRXP will support? I've had a poke around the Gigabyte website and it doesn't say. I've got a pair of 120Gb IBM 120GXP's at the moment on the Intel controllers. I'm looking at changing to a pair of 200GB Hitachi 7K250s or Maxtor DiamondMax 10...

Hi all- I have a 2.4ghz P4-based GA-8IG that hasn't given me any problem until last week, when it suddenly shut itself off without warning. Trying to power it back on, the power light flashes green for a sec then drops off. That's it. I tried swapping the power supplies with a newer, more...

Hello, Once again as a gigabyte fan I was told that the g igabyte motherboards were shrunk and used as laptops, is such a technology possible? -------- - - - -- Me

Rob, I built my last computer project with this board. It is the first Gigabyte board I have used, as have used ASUS boards for years. All I can say is the board works as advertised. I have a PCI-64 Firewire-800 board in one of the PCI-X slots (Firewire support is not on this board). I use an ATI...

Throw away the Gigabyte rubbish and install a Commodore 64 board instead!

Greetings, For the first time since this board went into service last January a BSOD came up near the end of a Quicken 2005 install.. This was a real surprise as this board and XP Home have been nearly flawless performers.. The error screen announced "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Then STOP:...

I work for a company that builds custom PCS to corporate clients based on Gigabyte mainboards as we've found them pretty reliable in the past. We've now got a problem with 20 PCs out of a batch of 100 all with the same problem. The PCs start either randomly powering down, Or will load into...
