when i flash my DS4 to F7 and F8 bios when i turn it on it turn off and turn on automatic for one cycle and everything all right what is wrong?
--------------------------------------
GA-965P-DS4
512 spectek BUS(533) RAM
western digtal 160 WD1600JS SATA 2
7300GT
400WATT POWER SUPPLY
Are the D9 memory issues fixed with the S3 boards, just as they were fixed with the DS3?
I flashed to F10 from the official website for DS3 1.0 and works fine. No noticeable differences, but then again I never had problems with my board. hehe
The 450+ FSB issue D9(1 gig sticks) was dramatically improved for most S3 owners on the last bios F7.Quote:

Ummm... There is no f8 S3 bios or F10 DS3 bios on the gigabyte USA site...

The site takes forever to load and eventually times out...

No F8 for S3...
the gigabyte.com.tw site will not load for me... It's always been the one I've used too...
I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing these USB issues, even at default settings (bios) my USB devices freeze up, i am thinking about buying a replacement Neatgear USB dongle to see if it's the cause..maybe it's crapping out?
Hamidfull...any insight from GB tech support?, you've got contacts...can you ask and see if there any issues?
Which usb ports are they plugged into? There are only 2 USB 2.0 ports on the board. Try swapping to a different usb controller...
There are 10 USB 2.0 ports, four on the mobo and another six by USB headers on the mobo...i have tried moving the dongle to other ports...same thing.
I think hutch might have a point. I don't really understand the full dynamics behind how it works, but there might be something of native/nonnative or something possibly. I've been told about the 2 ports only by a lot of other people as well. It's true that all ports do give full speeds though, so I don't know what the deal is.Quote:

But the 2x2 in the back and the 3x2 internal does add to 5 if you look at them as the root hubs, which may explain the 5 usb host controllers. Maybe the 2 usb2 controllers can migrate all over? Would this actually mean that you can only run 4 usb2 devices before having to get an external usb hub to split the usb2 controller more? Or if it internally is changing the way the hubs are? Something I've never quite understood
Hmm... Sandra reports the two on board USB hubs (the one with two ports under the onboard LAN and the one one with two ports right next to it) are standard USB hubs with no USB 2.0 support...
Hmmm...
New F9 BIOS for GA-965P-DQ6 owners on Gigabytes website, as descriptive as ever :cool:
F9 2007/01/11 1. Enhance FSB frequency flexibility
http://europe.giga-byte.com/FileList...65p-dq6_f9.exe
Yeah I don't know what to say about it either. Never been an issue for me though and I keep my external storage on firewire (d'oh. have to use laptop since no fw on the ds3).
lol hey at least it's something that sounds tastyQuote:

I'm at a point where I'm fairly satisfied with the overclock and known stability, and don't feel the merit to go through the pains of 450+ fsb on this board. So, with that said, I was wondering just how close vdroop mod can get set/idle/load vcores? I figure I could try to work on lowering my idle temps a bit now. I'm seeing coretemps of 59'c max under orthos load (finally stayed under 60 now). However, idle temp is around 48 (with occasional variations between 45 and 49). I figure if I could get droop lessened, I could turn down to say 1.45v and hopefully have it be stable still, and hopefully bring idle temps to low 40's
I have recently been trying all of the dq6 bios's avaliable and have found that the f7 bios is so far the best Oc bios for my e6400 28a im running it at 425fsb with no extra mch voltage, .2fsbvolt and 1.5vcore and its 100% stable in orthos........ but what i cant work out is if i up the mch voltage it becomes unstable anyone have any idea why???
amr : Do ClearCMOS then take out battery then Flash to F8 with Q-Flash (FDD)
Richard Dower : yes Richard but please prepare small and complete explain of issue and send it to my email I will forward it to my friends (hamidnaji@gmail.com)
I can't speak for the dq6 so you'd have to use a DMM and measure for yourself, but people have measured vmch for ds3 and found that gigabyte is cheating. If you set it to normal and increase fsb, it'll automatically increase vmch for you. So when you manually define, it might actually be lower if I recall correctly.Quote:

Have the heat cranked in my apartment because it's -15c out so my chip is getting pretty hot (64-66c full load.) Have everything sitting over the damn heater.
Let me get some screenies in a little :)
Good to hear the bugs are getting worked out Hutch.
How many of you are running F9 on the DQ6?
Richard its possible your USB ports a blow. The easiest way to check is to boot with a knoppix disk and see if your USB ports all work. If they do not most likely they got blown.
Have any of you noticed any differences with F9 yet? Or any steps backwards?
I'm running F9 fine on the DQ6, its the best so far for me. I think I have finally got the overclocking potential I need... just waiting for my pump to arrive and then I'll watercool this beast.
F10 for DS3 looks to be really nice, i lowered voltages from 1.56 to 1.49!!
All the USB ports appear to be working, i have plugged the Neatgear Rangemax http://www.netgear.co.uk/rangemax_wi...ter_wpn111.php in all four embedded USB ports.
Windows detects the dongle, i then have a four port USB backplate which is attached to two yellow USB headers on the mobo. These all appear to work.
The problem is a very inconsistent one, it'll work perfect for many hours but then suddenly data transmission will simply stop and web pages won't load, i have thought it might be my router or ISP...but once i unplug and plug back in the dongle things start working again.
I've also had times when i get an "error code 10 - this device cannot start" in Device Manager, the only way to get rid of this is to umplug and plug back in. A small number of times my Logitech MX3100 keyboard/mouse would just stop working.
It's almost as if the USB ports are switching off, like they are going into hybernation and when i want use them nothing will get them out of standby.
Tomorrow i am going to buy a new Rangemax dongle, but i do feel this is some sort of bios issue, if the ports were blown they would not work and devices would not show in Windows.
I thought it might be overclocking, but even at default it's being affected. My next option is to replace my PSU (third RMA) and then revert to F7, proces of elemination i guess, but i'd appreciate any assistance from GB tech support and see if there are any issues with the latest bios.
Richard
It sounds like a voltage regulation issue. I don't claim to know from where the USB ports get their current, but there is only so much power allocated to each part of the board. Its possible that the USB ports do not have enough power to support your dongle (that sounded bad) or overclocking the board and raising voltages elsewhere are causing your problem. Then again, it also could be just a bad board,
One thing you could try would be to declock your system back to normal and see if it shows up while clocked normally.
I finally got that second IDE drive out of my system.And wouldn t you know it. The machine seems alot more stable..... I ll keep an eye on this. Noctua to be installed on Sat..wife permitting.
