Is the sata-controller on this motherboard so special ?
None of my acronis true image server versions (9.1 per example) can
see drives.
I see a problem in using my backup. I can create a backup image from

I built a system using an Antec EA380 and the computer was dead.
Took computer to a local repair shop and the tech told me that the P/S
was NG. He  plugged in his P/S and the machine booted up.
I exchanged the EA 380 for a EA 420 and again it was dead.

I was all set to order the S2H from NewEgg today and they dropped the

choice award".
The primary difference between the 2 is the S2H has an Nvidia video

I have an gigabtye  81848p  Titan.
It hung (no video) a couple times over the past couple days and then
crashed tonight and won't boot. It powers up for a moment, displays
"Attempting BIOS Recovery from hard drive...." then displays "BIOS

Need to replace the motherboard only as it is faulty. can I get a
direct replacement or if not, which motherboard is best as a
replacement so I can use the existing processor/memory etc
TIA

I am looking to order this MB from NewEgg.  I want to put 4GB of RAM in
it (2x2GB).  
I looked through the memory compatibility chart on the Gigabyte web
site, but I'm not familiar with the manufacturers of 2GB memory chips

equipment: - board as above
- 2x2GB RAM-DDR2-800 bars
- Athlon 64 X2 6400
- Western Digital 500 GB SATA HDD (not partioned, not formatted, new)

all brand new:
- Mainboard GA-MA78G-DS3H
- CPU Athlon 64X2 6400+
- 2x Geil-DDR2-800 each with 2GB

Motherboard is MA78GM-S2H. I have turned off the BIOS option to support USB
drives when booting. When the PC is turned off or put in standby the USB
ports keep getting power.
I have an external HDD and because the power stays on, it does not go into

have a ga-ep35-ds3l  rev # 1 , was wondering how hot my conroe e6750 core 2
duo 1333 fsb @ 2.66 Mhz. should run? a little concerned because my older p4
800 FSB's 3.0 gigs would run around 40C and this core duo is running @ 60C ?
is that normal? no overclock - stock heatsink/fan ...

running @ single channel? i don't remember seeing that? it is OCZ 6400
premium w/heatsink  2 -  1 gig sticks   ??

same as above  , and the Nbridge heatsink seems pretty hot to the touch?
running 2 1 - gig sticks ocz 6400 @ 800  everything seems too hot ?   thanks
in advance   yes paul, it's me again from the ecs site   pete

I just bought a pair of Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHXG, but when I
install them my motherboard will not boot.  I installed it correctly in
slots 1 and 3 per the manual and took ESD precautions.  I made sure they
were seated properly, but it comes on and then shuts off, then comes ...

   I'm looking for a good quiet CPU heatsink for the above motherboard, I
have the Intel E8500 CPU.  I have seen some heatsinks such as Thermalright
Ultra 120 eXtreme but they want me to remove the crazy cooling heatpipes to
fit it in.
