MA790X / MA790XT-UD4P 790X bugs fixes etc etc.....

The built in network card have just did on my 790xt-ud4p i think... Had it running vista and after i got back home i wasnt connected to the internet anymore. Tried reinstalling drivers but it wont even detect the network card and tells me to insert it and try again -.- Any solution to this except a rma? Also reinstalled with XP and the same problem..

Try unplug lan cable and plug it back in..Sometimes vista can drop the lan,, Especialy if Auto detect is used on Lan for the internet lan detection..

Does more so when using a hub and two Pcs in the same house ..

If you haven't already, try going into "Device Manager" and uninstaling the NIC. Then reboot and let Windows find the driver on it's own....
I've had this problem before on alot of boards and that usually fixes it.

If it doesn't, try powering down the Hub/Modem let them both sit down for around 30 seconds then power on the Modem first, let it settle down and sync, then power on the hub and try again.
Personally, I've never had an onboard NIC go bad (not saying it couldn't happen) but I'd try these steps before tearing my rig apart for RMA....

Like gOtVoltage said, I'd check the cable too..

[Daveburt714]

Try adding +0%-2% on the core that failing in ACC.

Sorry for the double post, but I started a new thread concerning ACC...
The MA790XT-UD4P seems to respond really well to this technique.

Maybe I just have a Golden 550, but this helped me tune it...

Ive tried unplugging it and inserting it many times. The nic doesnt even show up in the device manager any more.. Tried on both Xp and vista First time for me to that this happens. I think it happend after i inserted my 4890

Ive also removed the cable and used it in my laptop without any problems so its not anhything with the cable o router

I had issues too and I fixed mine. Make sure if running one Video card that it's in the one marked pci-e 100. I switched mine to that 100 slot and lan has worked fine ever since. I fought it for a week thinking it was something else and was less than an hour from RMA before I discovered this in the manual.

Im using te slot closest to the cpu. Is that right or? Ive been runningit like this for 1month, and yesterday the nic dissapeared

[jlacy76]

Nope, wrong one. My lan worked "sometimes" when my vid vard was in that slot, but works 99% of the time in the lower slot. It's worth a try anyway.

What? :S But the lower one is x8 isnt it? :S And you say is in the manual?

[jlacy76]

It doesn't say put in that slot but my manual shows one x16 pci-e 100 slot and the manual said nothing about the other slot. I had mine in the one closest to the cpu and had Lan issues, I moved the card to the lower slot and it fixed my issue.

Hey, thanks for the tip, I'm still tweaking acc, but I did go from 3696 to 3796 using different ACC options.

[ELItheICEman]

Snowman, if you haven't already, go to the NIC device properties and uncheck the box that allows windows to turn that device off to save power. Worked for my MA790X-UD4P as well as others'.

Well the problem is that it wont even find the nic. Its not even visible in the device manager :/

[richierich]

Is it me only, or does anyone else notice that the BIOS version F5 for XT mobos doesn't seem as stable with tighter memory timings?

[Smellydeli]

I had a non-functioning LAN problem before. It working normally but then *poof* it stopped working. No signs of a NIC anywhere in Windows or even Smart LAN in BIOS. I got this reply from Gigabyte awhile back:

1) Boot into the MB BIOS by hitting "Del" on POST screen.
2) Move over to the "Load Fail-Safe Defaults" and hit "Enter" and answer "Y" for yes.
3) Move over to the "Load Optimized Defaults" and hit "Enter" and answer "Y" for yes.
4) "F10" Save and Exit and if the LAN is still not function, please visit our RMA website or email to request a RMA for your MB. Thank you.

I just pressed F9 because some other people at Tweaktown also had problems with their Gigabyte LANs and it worked.

wayhay first post on xs.
got my 790xt yesterday and my first impressions havent been the best tbh. first of all im using a phenomII 700e x3 energy efficiant with a really low VID obviously.( just having a play around with it till i can find a decent quad.) i had it on my old ma-770-ds3 rev2 and it was rock solid stable at 3.4ghz with 1.35 volts but its not the same story on this new board, i can only seem to get 3.33 with 1.4 stable (anything over 1.4 vcore this chip does not like) i havent managed to get an unlock with this F5 bios has anyone? and are the motherboard tempretures ussualy over 50C when stressed? the heatsink is very hot to the touch. ive only just got this board so im going to have a proper play around soon and see what it can really do nb, ht and ram wise
its not my cpu temps holding me back as im @ 27 idle and 38 load im just wondering why the board is making such a meal of such a low wattage chip it should be eating it for breakfast http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=670868 thats the measly pathetic clock im at now. its 2.4ghz stock so try not to laugh to hard

Hey all,

Something has been bugging me a lot recently about this mobo...my apologies if this has already been covered =(

First things first - I use a ps/2 keyboard. Not a USB.

Ok so here's the deal - I notice that my NumLock light stays on when I shutdown the computer using Windows 7 RC.

I have tested with XP, and the NumLock light on my keyboard turns off fine when I shutdown the box. I have also tested with several Linux distro's and the NumLock light also turns off properly when I shutdown the box. I don't have a copy of vista so I can't test with that.

Searching on the web yields pretty much nothing. It seems most everyone has a USB keyboard these days. Does anyone out there still use PS/2 keyboards? And if so, are you using Windows 7? Does your NumLock light stay on when you shut the computer off from Windows 7?

thanks!

there may be an option in the power management section of the bios but its perfectly normal, all my pc's have the numlock and mouse lights on all the time, if it bugs you the easy solution is to turn it off at the psu. have a route around in the bios if you feel the need

I'm really liking this board. I've submited a few results to the Dragon competition, I'm on 6th place by now, just behind chew and peter

I'm still having problems when the system restarts. Once in a while does the machine die when restarting (never from a cold start). Nothing happens when pressing the power button and I'm forced to clear the bios settings. An old power button hanging out of the case from the rear is saving me a a lot of time. The machine could die on high settings as well as low settings - what's going on? For some resaon does the 1,9 volt mem setting not work at all.

My stable settings:
bios: 5F
CPU x19
NB x13
FSB 200
HT x10
mem x8

mem +0,25
NB +0,1

Hello, I think to get an x4 955 and 790x UD4P, it is better to get the DDR3 version or it won't matter? I prefer to get the DDR2 version as I already have spare Mushkin 4GB 1066 to use

Hi all, have a question regarding bios stability/overclockability, have bios F5 on ma790XT-UD4P w 720BE and cannot stabilise the cpu at anything above 3250 without passing 1.45V on CPU core, have increased NBvid/SB and pretty much tried everything with no success. Am coming to the conclusion that my CPU batch 0906B is to blame for not beeing able to OC it. Right now I am @ FSB overclock 230(default voltage) as this oc's the memory as well bringing it up to 1520@7-7-7-24-1T (Memtest stable, Prime stable). The other option I have is to up the multi to x16(default voltage) and set the memory 1333@6-6-6-20-1T but this disables C&Q.
Memory is OCZ platinum 1600@1.9V. The thing that frustrates me is that the cpu does not seem to scale very well with the voltage increase; there is that wall ~3200 that cannot be passed simply by providing a tad more volts to the Cpu and the components.
Any ideas welcome and keep this thread alive ....

I am planning to buy this mobo. Have all the problems been solved, or should I opt for something else?

Hi all,

I got a strange problem with MA790XT-UD4P and my MS Sidewinder X6 keyboard. It works nice until I enter BIOS (F4) when it stops working. I need to plug my good old PS2 keyboard to setup BIOS)
I used X6 (to setup BIOS) before without problems on 2 different motherboards (ASUS M3A32-MVP...) so I don't know what can cause this issue on MA790XT-UD4P.

Well cause I'm already posting here I would like to add that this mobo is a nice overclocker too despite that strange keyboard issue.
