I have the mobo working fine under Windows x64, and would like to
install Linux. Yes, I know I can look at every distribution of Linux to
figure this out, but their is nothing like hearing from someone who has
it working for real.

I've got a GA-K8NF-9 motherboard and it's running perfectly in the following
config:
o Boot HDD connected to IDE 0:0
o DVD writer connected to IDE 1:0

I've recently bought a 1G DDR 3200 400Mhz memory chip from
FastMemoryMan (advertised on EBay). The module works fine on its own
but if I add the original 512Mb chip (DDR 3200 400Mhz) the PC starts
beeping and won't boot.

This board has both Nvidea raid & Sil raid
If, assuming mirror, raid1, do either of these have the capability of
detecting an individual hd failure and to continue running the sys, without
having to break the raid and boot from the functioning hd?

I have an 8I915P Dua Pro, and I'm trying to debug a problem w/ Flight
Sim 2004 by disabling the onboard sound card and using an older sound
card that I know works.
Thing is, I can't find any option anywhere to disable the onboard

Motherboard was working earlier today.
Turned on machine. CPU fan starts, power supplied to all peripherals, but no
beep from motherboard. I haven't changed anything.
Have tried disconnecting everything except the cpu (Athlon 3000 64).

I recently built a Computer with the above motherboard in a Antec
Tower.  After 30 seconds, it powers up then automatically turns-off.  I
have been unable to install Windows, set the BIOS or anything, because
it keeps shuting off.  I have no idea what is the problem, any ideas?

I've had this motherboard for a couple of weeks now and still haven't been
able to use it for anything useful for one reason or another.
First off, I had a Western Digital WD2500KS SATA-II drive. It failed smart
on 'unknown' attribute $BE. I emailed WDC tech support and they did

Hoping someone can help me. I have a gigabyte 8IEXP mobo that
previously had a 1.8ghz Intel P4 Northwood CPU. I've upgraded the CPU
to a 2.8Ghz Northwood but everytime it does a cold boot (eg first boot
of the day) the Award Bios always goes:

I built a computer a few years ago using the Gigabyte GA-8IHXP.  Ever since
it was new, it has made a strange noise, which I think is coming from the
fan used to cool which I believe is the chipset (it has the word "Gigabyte"
stamped on it, and on the manual has the letters 850E ...

Is anyone booting off SATA on the mobo.  A friend has one and after weeks of
trying is convinced it cant be done.

I have an P4 Titan GA-81PE1000 with onboard sound card. I just can't
figure out how to enable the sound? Can anyone give me a clue
please.
Thanks

Are there any known problems with this board???

I really don't know where to post this, because you will see it
applies to all mobos that use Taiwan caps, capacitors for short.
I have a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Rev. 1 mobo, I usually do an inspection and
a 'dust down' at various intervals, this time I noticed one cap has a

I currently have a K8N Ultra-9 motherboard.  I'm expecting to get my X-
mas bonus from work in a couple weeks, and am looking at possibly
upgrading my CPU.
My question is, working with a $300-350 price limit, which would give
