While I was playing a game computer suddenly stopped working. I can still boot but there is no more beep during startup and no more signal going to VGA. LED for memory and PCU is lid. I replaced VGA card but that doesn't help. I cleared CMOS and measured power supply, both are okay. Does anyone...

First of all, I do think that this cross posting is justified! I have just installed 2 x 300GB SATA-II hard drives in a RAID Mirror array. I've installed windows xp with all the updates and all my software. My motherboard is k8NXP-SLI. I have connected the 2 drives to the Silicon SATA controller...

For some reason since I changed video cards, now when ever i download or copy any files locally, downloaded or over my LAN my pc freezes completely forcing a hard reset. I recently changed from an ATI AIW X800XT (this never happened with that card installed) to a Gainward 7800 GS+ (AGP). Seems...

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-8IPE 1000 Pro2 CPU P4 Prescott 2.4G 800 FSB Memory: 1.5G HD 2 x SATA Seagate. Pioneer DVD reader.

you don't want it. This board really sucks. You have to have top grade memory, it has trouble seeing your hard drives, and there are too many options for setting up different hard drives, too hard to disable the ones you don't intend to use. The drivers are a curse, if you use the ones that come...

I have a GA-7 VAX board that I had a 1800 chip in, I tried to upgrade to a 2400 chip and must have done something wrong. It would not boot to XP, (dual boot). The BIOS recognized the 2400 when it first started but it hangs before Windows even starts to open. I took the new 2400 chip out and put the...

Hi, I have just put together a GA-7N400 Pro system with 2x512MB RAM, 2x80GB WD RAID drives, 10 GB application drive, MSI FX5200, Termaltake 420W power. No overclocking. I think I have all the latest drivers and bios. Sometimes one I access different applications it will just reboot. No...

I'm retiring in a few days and my wife & children are encouraging me build my dream computer as a retirement gift. For months now I've read reviews and also been a part of these news groups (and posted a number of questions that you've all been very kind to patiently answer). Right now I'm...

Alan, ECC: With ECC ram, your system will run slightly slower as a clock delay is imposed. If you need a high availability system (EG has to run 24 hours, is a server, is at a remote site, has mission critical apps etc.) then always use ECC. If you have large amounts of memory, always use ECC...

Has anyone heard of anybody having problems after removing (forever) the northbridge chipset fan?. I have an 8INXP and like a number of folks have had my fan fail several times. Yes, I have peeled back the sticker, put silicon in, etc. I am now thinking of just removing it entirely, which...

Hope someone can help since Gigabyte Tech Support is super slow. I just bought a new GA-7N400 Pro2 board, AMD 2.5 Barton CPU, MSI 5200 video card and 1 module of Crucial DDR 2700 512meg of ram. I put everything together, hooked up all the cables including the 12 volt CPU power cable and started...

Hi, After two months of running my chipset fan started to make annoying and loud noises. Could my motherboard work if I remove it? Does anyone know what dimensions and specifications it has exactly? Or perhaps, should I dismount the heat sink also and install a better passive cooler in place of...

Yeah, the ITE RAID controller was the one I was talking about being slow. I think that's the only drawback for the Gigabyte motherboard. On the RAID stuff, is it possible to like install the OS and stuff in non- RAID mode and then add a identical drive and turn RAID on without destroying the...
