I was upgrading a system with a Gigabyte GA-5AX motherboard the other day by installing 2 x 256MB PC133 DIMM (single sided, 8 memory chips), but after rebooting the system showed it had 256MB total, both during POST memory check and when windows loaded. I removed 1 of DIMMs, but with 1 x 256MB...

Just got a new machine with a K8N-Pro mobo from ibuypower.com yesterday but the onboard LAN does not seem to be working at all. Doesn't even show a green light when I plug the ethernet cable in. I've installed the latest Realtek drivers for the RTL8169 but I end up getting a "device cannot start...

I'm having a problem and was wondering if anyone could help. I want to connect 2 hard drives set as master/slave on one of the ide raid channels, but when i do that windows xp locks up during boot. If i put one hard drive on each of the ide raid channes and set them both as master, xp will boot...

Where are the temp monitors for the CPU and system on this board. My idle CPU temps are usually 58-59C and playing MOH temps may get to 62C. System is stable. I am thinking that the there is something amiss with the monitors. System GA-7VKMP 512MB Ram XP2200 w/stock cooler - not OC'd

I've found that the Stealth case fans are very quiet when running in my hand, but when they touch the case they make a noticeable humm. My solution was to hang all of the case fans on rubber bands, thusly: Mount two 1.5 inch long 6x32 bolts thru the case, protruding inside, with a nut tightened on...

Hi everyone Can anyone out there using the same mobo as myself please provide with some BIOS settings as I am sure my system is not performing as it should be. I have 512MB PC 2100 together with a Geforce 3 Ti 200 Graphics card. I seem to find windows become fragmented and take time to close down....

Helping my b-inlaw build a new system, 7N400 Pro2 MB, Barton 2500, 512 Centex PC2700, 2 WD 160GB HD's for RAID. Upon assembly and first boot when checking the BIOS settings the FSB reads at 200MHZ with the option to adjust to 100, 133, 166, but I didn't see a multiplier setting like on my...

A friend has sourced quite a number of USB 2.0 headers, all brand new. As I have been after one from Asus for a while for my motherboard and have not managed to source one anywhere I thought other may well be interested. See http://www.john.g4fuo.btinternet.co.uk/usb2_backplate.htm for...

I have been trying to find some recommendation regarding these boards. OC Plus in the UK gave the 8i875 editors choice and on the Giga byte site the comparison shows the Ultra having 4 SATA and 4 PATA while I believe the GA- 8KNXP has SCSI. Than one comment said that the 8i875 Ultra is the replace...

Had this GB 8IRXP since the 'reboot' problems and so far I'm okay with 'shutting down' instead of 'restarting'. It is a bit long in the tooth but I cannot afford to replace it yet. I've got a 1.6 OCed to 2.4 (FSB at 150) but the DDR is 2100 (good stuff from Mushkin) and won't do the full 150......

Hello, I just got a new video card (nVidia FX5600) and rebuilt the OS on my system then installed MS Flight Simulator 2004. The program shuts down or crashes in a very predictable manner. I had a sound blaster sound card in and had the onboard AC97 turned off in the bios. After ripping the...

I assume the 8KNXP supports P4 3.2GHz since the Gigabyte website quotes 3+. However this MB is not listed in their cpu compatibility list and a retailer website gives a compatibility warning. I suspect their site is just not promising what Gigabyte don't list explicitly. Does it support...

Hi all, and merry xmas. When i put windows xp on my computer, it only sees 131 Gb of my 160Gb SATA hard drive Below is what I have tried myself: BIOS: - Flashed from F2 to F5 (now the bios reports 160Gb instead of 131-132Gb)

Okay, new problem. I got the hard drive recognized by putting it on an ATA 100 channel, installing Windows XP and the Promise 376/378 driver. Now, it has an exlaimation point on it in Device Manager and I thought it was because it said to reboot. Nope, same thing. I tried to move the drive to the...

Hi Guys, I have the above Gigabyte Motherboard. I have purchased a stick 0f 512Mb PC133 SDRAM. I currently have 128Mb PC133 in the system. When I add the new stick in DIMM2, with the 128Mb in DIMM1 I can only see a total of 384Mb, but when XP tries to start I get errors with files in system32...

I'm running windows XP Professional Have installed the audio drivers but I don't get the options to change the speaker setup(on board audio) so I can change it 2 4 speaker setup. Am I missing something as for the drivers or some other program that I need? I don't get the systray icon for it either.

I have just purchased a 8KNXP which has a yellow cpu retention module. Now in this forum somebody stated that a Rev 3 board comes with this yellow cpu retention module but alas mine is a Rev 2 board. This makes me think that there are no Rev 3 boards and the yellow cpu retention module is just the...
