Official Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 Info Thread

[Moose2]

the why i said it in a joking atmosphere.

I know.

[loonym]

Yeah I blew the $600 tax rebate on pc gear too Moose. The last of it went when I saw those $290 9800GX2's at newegg thursday. I have more vid cards than I need already but I couldn't stop myself.

[Moose2]

I got to many cpu's,2 months ago I got 2 8400's at compusa when they price them wrong at 139.99. I think I am going to put one on the x48t when I get it back and I was looking at a Intel x48 MB to put my x3360 in.

no wonder why COMPUSA is going out of business!

[Moose2]

no wonder why COMPUSA declared bankruptcy!

Yea, I think they fired everyone at comp because tiger direct called me to honor the deal.

actually, i checked the search engines and i corrected myself...just going out of business or severely cutting back their retail operation.

Wow, sorry to hear that. Unfortunately there's not much to do except rma.

[|Oc|REvO_HsArC]

thanks
funny thing, the board is only 3 days old, and was only turned on today for the 5 minutes it took to be updated (qflash)...

whos the bios maker ? award, phoenix or AMI ?

perhaps a recovery disk would work

Bottomline: DO NOT FLASH YOUR PRECIOUS WITH BIOS F5.

Here is a fixed F5 bios.

[Ace-a-Rue]

ALERT: for those who had a bad flash try the below...you might make it into the bios.

they bring up a good point, short out (Clear) CMOS while trying to start it to see if the 2nd bios tries to cut in...might work...even if you get into the bios, you can reflash with a previous bios.

[|Oc|REvO_HsArC]

mine is already boxed

someone care to try?

[Ace-a-Rue]

efficient!

[|Oc|REvO_HsArC]

what? the quick posting or the method ?

How could you do that, just start with a jumper on cmos and leave it on to see if the backup kicks in or what?

Yes link to detail was in the article as Ace said see Detail

[|Oc|REvO_HsArC]

sooo, does it work or not?

Mail leaves in one hour. I still have time to pick her up, but not to mail her again if it fails...


edit: what does he means when he says the board keeps files on the HD? HD the harddrive?

[Moose2]

I think I'll just send my in for repairs.

[Ace-a-Rue]

i was able to get into a malfunctioning bios on another system by putting the jumper on clear first and then power up, hit the "delete" key to hopefully enter into the bios...if it goes there, you can possibly do the Q-flash again using a previous older bios.

That trick doesn't work in this case as said in the article i posted.

[loonym]

hmmm... very interesting. That's the info I was searching for. I'll try that and post back asap. Thanks for the post Ace!

Oh, ok. I won't waste my time then. I'll let gigabyte sort it. I have another board to send anyway so I'll save on shipping.

[Ace-a-Rue]

it is worth a try if the board is not packed...you never know until you give it a shot.

[PalmeAsus]

seems like gigabyte updated the f5 bios today .
