BAD BIOS CHIP FLASH? VISIT: http://bioschips.nlan.org For Replacement chips $15 re-flash of existing chip $8

I have somehow odd problem with this combination. It seems impossible to make this Iwill card work on first three PCI slots. Why, beats me, Google haven't helped but I've tried it on two other boards (KT133A and KT400 chipset) and it works fine in slots higher than PCI 3. What I've tried until now...

Hi all, recently I received a 2.4 Ghz CPU. I was wondering if I can place this in my Gigabyte GA-8IDX motherboard. I looked on the Internet and said motherboard max speed is 2 Ghz. Now, to ask a stupid question, does anyone know what would happen if i placed the CPU in my machine? Would the...

I was successfully running a single WD 36GB 10k RPM SATA drive as the boot disk (set to "BASE") on my GA-7N400 Pro2 board (Rev 1) for several months. Then it started to get flakey recognizing the drive when booting. Would take a couple of reboots to get past detecting the drive and on to...

Intel P4 2533 MHz Gigabyte GA-8SQ800 Award F5 bios 2048MB ram SB Audigy (D800) Radeon 9800 Pro My front side bus is only running at 133MHz. How can I get it to it's max potential of 533MHz? Surely the processor will support it, no? Perhaps a different jumper configuration? Although I haven't...

Okay, I'm trying to figure out why I can't run Prime95 for more than 60 seconds, and why 3D apps crash to the desktop or hang the system when I try to run anything greater than 1024x768x16. Here's my system: AMD Barton 3200+ Gigabyte GA-7N400-L 1GB PC3200 RAM (Mushkin, VData, currently set at...

System appears stable & very quick, with A64 3500 & Leadtek 6600. Win XP is all okay & updated but Easytune won't run, doesn't give an error but just quits without a fight. Any ideas?

Is there a Gigabyte motherboard available that supports the AMD 64 and PCI-E. It's the PCI-E bit that appears a bit thin on the ground. Cheers, Rob.

In November, my GA-7DPXDW-P died on me. At first I was getting blue screens in Windows XP if I had more than 1 stick of RAM installed in the motherboard. Then after a short time, it refused to boot on me at all. I tested all the components, including the power supply, in another PC. I called up...

I have a GA7N400 PRO 2. I installed two 80 gig SATA drives Raid 0. Problem is, after I have installed XP and all my drivers and programs, I notice the raid array is D: instead of C:. I have an IDE 80 gig HD too. It is the system drive, although I never intended for that to happen. Now I need to...

I have this board and it was running great until I had to reinstall Windows XP and download new drivers. Now the sounds doesn't work well at all in 5.1 mode. I know it is a driver issue but all I can get are the new drivers on Gigabyte's site. Does anyone have the original driver CD that came with...

Have you gone through the Clear CMOS procedure? Its in the manual. Make sure your PC is not plugged in when you do this. Have you tested your ram with memtest86 from memtest86.org? Is the CPU heatsink mounted correctly? Right way around? Correct application of thermal grease? Whta does the bios...

Hi I was wondering if any one knows how to get the Nforce system tray for the sound set-up, I have just bought myself a new 17 tft monitor and want to add the speakers on the monitor with my existing speakers. My board is the gn-400NL1 gigabyte board. I have the sound card drivers from the...

Can someone please tell me what the multiplier is for an AMD XP 3200+ /400fsb? Rudy

My second mobo GA-8KNXP Ultra rev 2.0 died I have to agree that it is probably underpowered, especially when we don't know what video card you are using. It's too bad that guys like Greg Vederman of PC Gamer magazine are still recommending 300W power supplies in both low-end and mid-range...

I have just upgraded to a new Gigabyte 7NF-RX Socket-A nForce2 (400 FSB) motherboard, and now my chip only runs at 1000Mhz. The memory is 266 which i bought with the processor many years ago.. I have changed the bios to run at 133 (effectively 266).. but it still runs at 1Ghz.. Any ideas

I have a GA-7VT600 1394 motherboard that I recently installed. My HD is IDE. I want to be able to use Norton Ghost 2003, but I can't, because of a problem with the BIOS wanting to install my external USB 2.0 drive as drive D:. I already have partitions on my 120gb drive as C D E F G and H. Is...

I hate posting to mutiple news groups, but I'm trying to find out what=20 PCI Express x1 is going to be used for ? I've done searches and couldn't find any info and figured that it would = be good to post this in the main motherboard newgroups at the same time in hopes of getting a answer. thanks...

I have a GA 7VT600 1394. AMD 3200+/400fsb. Is it better to let the mobo recognize it automaticaly by setting SW-1 to off/auto or assign the speed manualy in the bios? I'm having reboot/crash problems and I've pretty much ran out of options. RMA'd the mobo & cpu. Installed new video card &...
