Can I use a 80 wire ribbon cable with my DVD burner and CDRom or should I use a 40 wire cable? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to either one? Thanks,

Hallo, I have a GA-8PE667 Pro (rev 1.2) with a P4 2.4 GHz (without Hyperthreating). The problem occured the first time after I had removed the processor heatsink completely and then reinstalled it. There is no mechanical damage now. The computer, however, didn't boot. Everything sounded normal,...

Hello! My Problem!! I Installed a Raid Array on the onboard sata controller! For this i used 2 160GB Samsung drives! I created the array in the controllerbios and installed the drivers in my on a PATA installed Win XP! Now I could use the Raid Array (formating/partitioning/Writing/reading)! The...

What exactly does the CIA technology do. Does it overclock the system?

I am ordering the Gigabyte GA-8KNXP (Rev 2.0) motherboard with a P4 3000 and would like to know if there is a downside to running Corsair DDR500 XMS4000 memory with it? Thanks... Rich

Hi there, Just built a PC using the Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 motherboard. The problem I have is that after 5 seconds of switching it on, it automatically powers itself down. The only things I have connected is the cpu, graphics card, and 1 memory chip in DDR slot1. I have the clock switch set to...

Hi all, My saga continues. I'm installing a GA-7N400 Pro2 fixed my CPU recognition problem but was having problems getting my two WD drives to boot into XP as master/slave on the RAID channels as normal ATA. Anyway, I set BIOS to RAID and on the Gigabyte I set the RAID to "normal". It state an...

Hi, I have the following config on my GA-8KNXP (rev. 2): IDE 1 - HDD 1 + HDD 2 IDE 2 - DVD-RW + DVD-Rom I would like to know if it is possible to add a new hdd to IDE3/4 and/or to the SATA slots without RAID config, so just as extra hdd ?? I do not want to change the config as it is now if...

Hi all Has anyone with this board had any problems with the onboard vga??? when i try to run any 3d apps the screen is full of lines and artifacs, until it locks up. ive tried lots of different drivers, fresh installs of xp with each driver i have an enermax 465watt psu so i dont think its that, my...

I recently bought a Gigabyte 7NNXP and am just fooling around with the EasyTune. After some fiddling I pumped the RAM up to 200 and now it shows my 2500+ running stably at 2205 and never over 62c. Does that mean my CPU is running comparable to a 3200+? Is it ok to run it that fast? Art

I installed a 512 MByte PC2700 ECC Registered stick in my GA-7VAXP mobo; yesterday I installed a second 512 MByte PC2700 ECC stick, this one "unbuffered" - well oops. Forgot all about the particular kind of stick I had originally installed nearly a year ago. It (the mobo) doesn't seem to like this...

I have a GA6VX7-4X (rev 3.2) that is working (i.e. it boots fine). But I can get no keyboard or mouse input. (I've tested the KB/Mouse... they're OK) I notice in the specs that this mobo has a 'Poly fuse' that protects the kb/mouse/game port. Is this a user-replaceable fuse? If so, where on the...

Hi, Got my 8KNXP up and running, no real problems, except the 2 x 256 memory sticks, do not work, they are Elixir brand. Caused the PC to keep rebooting and other stuff, swapped them for an old 256, no brand, and everything works good. So what memory are we to buy that works ok?

I think I have messed up good and propper! With my new (fool-proof for BIOS flashing) Dual Bios board along with the @BIOS utility, I set about flashing the BIOS. I used the internet update, and when it came up with F5, I went for it. Trying to sort a problem i'd been having with the PC freezing...

Looks like it should work, but without dual bios I would like to know before I fry... People do K8NNXP to K8N Pro all the time - similar hardware - so I thought that the same thing might apply with the K8VT800/M, whose only real differences seem to be the number of PCI slots and an upgraded (...

Just passing on a few things I learned while trying to answer these same questions for my own system: 1. What's the sound subsystem on the Gigabyte 7N400Pro2 motherboard? It's the Realtek ALC655 chip, which supports the AC97 sound standard with 6 channels and digital SPDIF input and output...

After having a nightmare two days trying to install XP Pro on my two Maxtor sata 80 gig HDD's as raid 0 during which I received constant IRQL Stop errors I tried the older Sil3112 sata raid drivers which came on the motherboard support CD. This allowed me to install XP OK. Now however I notice...
