I have searched for a listing of Award beep codes and they don't list my particular error code. The Award list says individual manufacturers modify the bios and they should have this information. Gigabyte has been less than helpful on this issue. It is this: On boot-up I get 1 short beep...

Hi all, I'v bought a GA-N650sli-DS4 and I intend to use watercooling with this setup. I've got a chipset waterblock to replace the huge northbridge heatsink next to the cpu which, several reviewers claimed, would depend on the cpu fan to be effective. I am not sure about the mosfets though that...

I'm trying to find out if the Gigabyte 8S648FX (SiS chipset) can support memory grater than 400 Mhz. My previous motherboard was an ASUS A7V-266E and I was able to use 333 Mhz memory when the specs said it could only handle 266 (from memory) and it ran fantastic. I currently have the...

I'm interested in overclocking my system and would like to know what I need to change in BIOS to maximum my speed based on the following hw setup. * 965P-DS3 v.3.3 * Core 2 Duo E6420 2.13ghz * Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS * Antec 500 Watt SmartPower PS * Corsair XMS 2x1gb DDR2 800 Twin2x2048-6400C4...

Have just made up a new PC using the GA-P35-DS3 board. This is the first Intel kit I have made up since leaving for AMD many years back but now back into INTEL again - thanks to the Duo's. This is also the first kit I have made up using SATA, and see that GigaByte have their own SATA controller...

Bios F9 OS Vista Ultimate CPU Core2Dual E6600 System works perfectly, except - - when I 'hibernate', upon returning to operation my audio is inactive. It says no audio devices are loaded. I hesitate to update the BIOS unless it leads to a cure of the hibernation problem. Obviously this is...

Hi, I have recently purchased a P35-DS3P, installed 2003 64-bit and am experiencing absolutely terrible processor performance. Doing simple things run as running IE max's the CPU out according to perf mon. I have 8Gb ram and 4 x 500Gb WD SATA drives in a RAID 5 configuration. Pagining is not...

I'm planning to build a DIY PC based on Core 2 Duo CPU and I'm studying the two ASUS & GIGABYTE motherboards mentiond in title. Besides difference in chipset used, maximum memory support, USB port & PCI slot counts, how these motherboards differ in audio performance ? GA-965P-DS4's manual said it...

If I enable "Wake by alarm" and set the time to say 08:30:00 so the PC will be ON at start of the day, then I always get a BSOD (WinXP Pro sp2). If I start the system manually at around that time, it starts normally. Am using Kingston KVR800D2N5/1G DDR2-800 1GB RAM - might be relevant Any clues?

All available data I can find indicates that running at 1066FSB with DDR2 requires "overclocking" the G33 chipset vs. its specification. So, if I use the E6600 CPU at 800FSB with PC2-6400 memory on the GA-G33M-DS2R, how much performance am I giving up vs.some theoretical or overclocked 1066FSB...

I have 2- DDR 512mb PC2700 HyperX Kingston chips and want to expand up to 2gigs of memory. Can I just add two more of the same types of chips in my remaining slots and be good to go, or do I have to get denser chips to move to 2gigs?

Hello, Has anyone tried using an Intel QX6800 processor with the GA-P35-DQ6 motherboard? I just installed it with an ATI HD2900XT graphics card and it won't POST. No beeps either. The case fans and graphics card fan spin. The CPU fan (Thermaltake V1) gives just a small jerk (as it trying...

Hi, I have a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4 m/b with Intel C2D E6420 CPU. According to the supplied utility Vcore A varies between 1.210 and 1.370V. Is this normal or indicative of a problem? TIA, Mark

Anyone know what is actually fixed/changed in this revision? Gigabyte's site is cryptic to say the least. I'm on F11 with no problems but would move if up there's something worthwhile. John

Hi GA-K8NS Ultra-939 Everytime I do anything heavy - video rendering / games, I get continuous short beeps and eventually the pc shuts down - is this Power error as it says in the manual? Do i need a new power supply - i'm sure this wasn't a problem before! john

Hi All, I have been given an old Elonex machine with a motherboard which claims to be a Gigabyte GA-6VTXD rev 1.0. Gigabyte web site does not recognise this though and Elonex don't respond. Anyone any ideas what it is and where to get data? Ta, Alan

I have a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP Rev 1.1 which typically hangs on bootup to XP. I have tried everything to sort this problem out but when I think I have the problem licked a few weeks later it will rear its ugly again :-( Typically it will boot into XP and after a while the mouse cursor will freeze...

I bought A 965P-DS3 and it would not boot up - no beep codes no video output, but fans did spin-up. I asked Gigabyte what was wrong and they said it was either the mother board or processor. Got a new processor, fault was the same. Sent mother board for testing and motherboard was unservicable....

ETC and Easy Tune 5 both have the CPU temp reading a few degrees lower than system temp and about 10°C lower than BIOS. Sadly MBM5 doesn't work indicate properly with the newer boards. TIA gb

Hi all, I have a little problem, I have been playing around with ntfs on linux recently, and drove myself into a few trubles. Here are the facts: - after playing with ntfs and wine on linux found that my FAT on my boot disk was damaged. - had to re-install my system, XP and FC6, but found that my...
