Hi all, How can I enable hibernation in windows for a GA 81955 X Royal motherboard? The option isn't showing up so I assume there must be a setting wrong in the bios. Thanks!

Hi all, How do I enable SMART for the above motherboard? I believe both my hard drives are SMART compatible. The hard drives are Seagate ST38011A and Maxtor 6Y120PO. Thanks in advance.

I want to use Wacom Graphics tablet with the 8KNXP and the v6 BIOS. In this situation shouls USB Mouse in the BIOS be enabled or disabled (default is disabled)? It is a USB device but has its own driver. Howard

Finally got our new Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW+ dual AMD MP2800 system built after 10 weeks of battling with Insight to actually replace the motherboard - jeez, do these guys want to loose our business - first reply "hi there, think this motherboard is faulty" - ten weeks later that finally replace it and...

How is it possible that there isn't an option to hide boot menu and qflash from post on GA-945GCMX-S2? This way every hog can screw up the BIOS and format the HD without asking the PC's owner permission first.

Hi everyone, I'm currently tracking the reason for memory errors in my system (1 error after 1500% testing by memtest under windows). This set of memory sticks is installed: F2-8500CL5D-GGBPK G.skill DDR2-1066 PC2-8500 2048 x 2 CL5-5-5- 15 2.0-2.1V Under the BIOS "PC Helth Status", I read

Hi all. I recently put together a system on a Gigabyte motherboard, model # EP35C-DS3R. I wrote to their tech department with what I’m about to ask here, but their answer wasn’t really satisfying to me, and didn’t make much sense to my understanding of things. But who knows, it could just be...

Last nite my EP45-DS3L suddenly would not boot - no power light, no mobo led, nothing. This followed a few losses of power due to a flaky surge protector under the desk. First thing that occurred to me was that the power supply had bitten the big one. But I swapped it out for a known good power...

Sometimes - not always - this board gets into some kind of loop where the GigaByte splash screen shows, then it starts booting again... showing the splash screen again... and booting again. Can be provoked reliably by plugging a USB drive into the front panel. Without the USB device on the front...

When I enable AHCI in BIOS setup, it provokes a boot loop in which Windows (SP3) throws a Blue Screen Of Death for about a tenth of a second and then the boot process starts all over again. Driver issue? Somewhere I think I read something to the effect that AHCI had tb enabled when Windows was...

I'm reading Giga's specs, but can't find anything that specifically says 64-bit. Currently running XP and now I need to "Upgrade" to accommodate the latest rev of SageTV. Quotes for obvious (?) reasons -) -- Pete Cresswell

Freezer 7 Pro HSF Cooler: Fan will not spin on computer power on? I've let it go as long as 10 whole seconds before giving up and turning the power OFF again. It does this little bump, back and forth, maybe 1/10th of a turn and then nothing at all. The heatsink on this thing is enormous...

i am having serious errors installing windows xp pro on my 36 gig raptor....im not sure if its a mobo problem or somthing else but during installation i continually get the blue screen of death and the "page fault in nonpaged area" error message. a couple of times i actually got through...

I just bought a Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H mobo. It was a CPU mobo combo deal (CPU - DualCore AMD Athlon II X2 255, 3100 MHz (15.5 x 200) 3.1GIG). I keep getting this error message at desktop "essvr.exe has encountered a problem and needs to shut down." What is essvr.exe? Is it essential to have running...

I built this computer last summer, it has worked great until now. A few days ago I lost internet connection, a clean reinstall of XP pro didn't slove the problem, so I put in a USB wireless adapter, it works fine. I bought a PCI express ethernet adapter and installed it this morning. It worked...

Hi, Using a 7N-400P under XP Home SP1. I've downloaded the latest LAN driver for the MOBO, but when I point the h/w wizard at it, it says it cannot find the software. I thought it might be IRQ conflict; Ethernet controller appears to be on PCI 9 - the only share I can see on 9 is ISA ACPI...?
