I have been reading for days and don't understand this. When I get a system built using all SATA drives...is the best setting in the bios AHCI?
I know the RAID setting requires drivers and IDE does not but how about AHCI?
Should I even use this setting? Does it require drivers or does Windows 7 have "generic" ones?
I need sata drivers to continue my clean Windows 7 install. But I can only download .exe files from gigabyte support ?

Also if anyone can tell me the desired voltage for each RAM slot.
I have the GA-EX58-Extreme Board and have just installed the pre release of Windows 7 7600 64 bit. Normally i have experience to get the BSOD when in staling with AHCI active in bios so i change to IDE mode. Installation went flawless and also the change to AHCI mode on Intel ICH10R controler went normal.
As always i got problem to change the J micron controller to AHCI and of cause i got the BSOD again. I installed the latest R1.17.48.16 driver and tryed again but no luck. Can some tell me what i am doing wrong. ? I have a hardisk and a dvd drive attached to the J micron Sata connection.
I have a Western Digital 1 TB USB 2.0 that I have connected to a computer that has Gigabyte connection to my NAS which can handle Gigabyte speeds.I am only getting 30.1MB/s.Is there any settings I can do to windows so that it can send faster?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently swapped out my motherboard for a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3. I was trying to overclock my CPU and after a crash and CMOS reset I was no longer able to complete WEI. This was fixed by reinstalling the BIOS firmware but when I ran WEI again, I was now getting a 5.9 score for my SSD (OCZ Agility) when it was previously 7.2.
Now I can no longer get Windows to use the AHCI driver (neither MS nor AMD) for the drive. I am running in AHCI mode but the driver being used for the SSD is a generic "disk drive" (disk.sys and partmgr.sys). When I try to update this driver, it tells me I am using the latest one; it also does not let me manually select the AHCI driver.
After multiple attempts at switching back and forth between IDE and AHCI in the BIOS, uninstalling and reinstalling AMD AHCI drivers, nothing changes. Still the same 5.9 WEI score and generic driver.
I have been running win 7 for about 6 mths now dual boot with xp. I have done a fresh install and got rid of xp and running win 7 straight up. My system is a Gigabyte AM2+ with a phenomII black edition 4 core., 4gb ram onboard video.
Now for the question. i got thinking today and realized i hadnt installed any chipset drivers etc. I look in device manager and all the drivers are from microsoft and from 2006 ? So i go to gigabyte and get the win 7 download but all it installs is the graphic driver and usb filter driver nothing else. I try driver max and it says my drivers are up to date. What am i missing here.
I have been trying to install Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 (rev 2.0)
and everytime i do the install fails and the install is then rolled back.
I currently have Vista x32 installed on Gigabyte Raid 0 (there's also an intel raid option but i've never used it). The Vista install runs fine and i've never had a problem.
When i try to install using the GA-P35-DS3 (rev 2.0) raid drivers from the Gigabytes site i get the usual microsoft grumbles about unsigned drivers but then the install seems to go OK from there until the install completes and reboots. At this point it errors out and reboots into the OS rollback install.
Does anyone know if this is an issue with this driver or does anyone have a link to another driver?
I have vga driver for win xp, but it doesn't work on win 7. My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-8SIMLH. What can i do now ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm an owner of the M912M netbook with Windows 7 RC 7100. I bought recently a external network adapter (Rokland N3) based on the Ralink RT2870 chipset and i have a problem connecting it to the netbook.
Installed the software+driver that came with it on CD and when connecting the adapter Windows says "Driver didn't install etc. etc.". Tried a Windows 7 driver which came from Ralink for this chipset and says same thing. Also Windows Update finds the driver but everytime it tries to install it it comes with a error (80070002, to delete all temp files of the WU, done that but same) and doesn't install it.
Same adapter installed and works fine on different laptops, Sony Vaio VGN-A497XP with same Windows 7 RC 7100, Acer 4630Z with Windows Vista so it shouldnt be a driver or OS problem but something specific to the M912.
Contacted Rokland and they guessed that it should e conflicting with the internal adapter so i removed it together with its driver but nothing.
i'm having trouble installing the latest catalyst drivers.the package fails and keeps knocking me back with the INF file was not find.ive installed the package to a folder and tried to navigate via system and update the driver file but get an error regarding the information set or element settings (and the driver doesn't update.my graphics card is still working so to speak, i can enter games although my system crashed 2 hrs ago from dxgmm1.sys and thats what prompted me to uninstall and reinstall my drivers but im running into alot of problems.i've also tried reinstalling through safe mode and still not working (ive used driver sweeper to make sure it's a fresh install)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI thought this was going to be an easy fix, but...Quick Setup: Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 version 1.0; I am setting RAID zero with two WD 160gig HDs. A Pioneer DVD drive and a Lite-On DVD drive. This is a 64-bit install.
I set the RAID config and cleaned the drives. Popped the Windows 7 install disk in my DVD drive and the install began. Set the language prefs and clicked 'Install.' Shortly after I get the following error...Load Driver
A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. My first guess was not a CD/DVD driver but a RAID driver is needed. I tried using the latest RAID drivers from Gigabyte. I made sure I was using the 64-bit version of the drivers.
When installing the driver, Windows install responds with "can not find the drive." 'Drive' not 'driver.'
There are no drivers available for my two DVD drives. The standard Windows driver has always been sufficient. What driver is the install is looking for? Do you think I may have missed something in the RAID config?
I recently had to format my H/D however cannot find my original drivers disc. So I cannot connect to the internet to get drivers.Motherboard is a gigabyte-ga=81865gm-775Have tried the gigabyte site but cannot find the driver there
View 6 Replies View Relatedanyways, my main drive is a RAID 0 with Vista x64, but I have a second HD that is a SATA 250GB, which I installed Windows 7 on. The only way I could get install to work was to switch my BIOS to IDE mode rather than RAID. I would of course though, like to be able to access my Vista drive from Windows 7 (and more importantly, not have to switch between IDE/RAID mode at all in the BIOS, it's a pain).
Now, the one odd this about this all is that the drivers I have for Vista (x86/x64 drivers) for this mobo's RAID controller WORK when loaded on installation to identify and install to the drive, but seem to not load or not work in any way once the first reboot on install occurs. Maybe this is because I installed from within Vista x64, though.
(Incedentally, my motherboard is an M3A Asus, using ATI's SB600 for a RAID controller)
I've tried loading the drivers from within Windows 7 while in IDE mode, but the install program won't let me. At first it didn't allow because of version restrictions, but then I altered the ini file to get around that, but it encounters some sort of error when installing and quits.
Any help that can be offered, would be grateful. I realise it's a beta and not a real release, so I can get past the BSOD from my odd setup, and I really am enjoying playing around with it so far. Very very impressed.
Edit: Just in case anyone thinks of suggesting me to right-click the inf file and install that way, already tried, won't allow for it.
I'm trying to install the Windows 7 32-Bit upgrade on my Dell Inspiron 1721 laptop and I get an error that says that I need to update my ATI AHCI Compatible RAID Driver. I went into the Update Device Drivers as suggested in the instructions and tried to upgrade that driver, but it says I have the latest driver for it. So I tried restarting my laptop and ran the upgrade setup again, and got the same error message.
Any ideas on what I need to do to get it to upgrade? I tried searching all over and can not find a newer version than what I have (2.5.1540.48).
So I installed the Windows Seven RC x64 today on my desktop machine after having a great experience on my notebook.
Most things worked out just fine, but the onboard raid controller is giving me alot of trouble (I got two hard disks connected there, should be raid0?), my mainboard is a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 an this is SiSoft Sandras report on my disk controllers:
Browsing this forum I found severel interesting posts, for example I tested the drivers of Driver and I tried the mainboard drivers for Vista in compatibility mode, but nothing works. I also looked for the "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Controller" drivers directly, but there was nothing concerning Windows Seven. After that I tried the Released: Intel Chipset Software 9.1.1.1014 but that still did not solve anything.
Just did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Trying to install the motherboard chipset but got confused with these options. Which one do I install? Asetup or Setup? Motherboard is Gigabyte 880-GMA U2DH rev2.1

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed a Crucial M4 256 GB SSD in an Acer Aspire 5742 laptop as a replacement for it's aging HDD. This was followed by a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on the new drive.
So my next step is to ensure that the system has all of the appropriate and up to date drivers installed. Most of the relevant information I found on the Acer website:
[URL]
I am familiar with most of the device drivers listed here and don't expect to have any trouble tracking down the best versions currently available but I am not sure about the "Intel SATA AHCI" driver in particular. It has been my understanding that to enable TRIM on an SSD dedicated as the system drive you just have to set SATA mode in BIOS to AHCI and windows will take care of the drivers during install of the OS.
So my question is will I see any benefit in installing the latest Intel AHCI driver (ver 11.6.0.1030) over the MS one originally installed with Windows?
Alternatively is it a better idea to leave the configuration as it is (working pretty well) and avoid potential software conflicts?
The Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H WB comes with a Wireless Adapter/Bluetooth PCIe card.
Atheros AR5BWB222. Gigabyte calls it a GC-WB300D
The driver is being reported as having an issue by a splat in device manager with the following message: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52). The Card works fine in another system that also runs Windows 7 x64 Pro.
I have called Gigabyte, uninstalled and the reverse in safe mode also. Done everything I know. Why it works in one system and not this one is the key. Once it was seen to work on another system Gigabyte tossed me into the ditch.
I have tried drivers from the boxed CD and their site. The Bluetooth side of the card which uses its own drivers is OK.

Using Win 7 64-bit with AMD SATA drivers with a strange issue.
When this board boots up it does an AHCI initialization which shows the attached sata drives. After that, Windows 7 loads and runs without a problem. However, when I reboot Windows it sounds like the hard drives spin speed is slowing down then speeding up again.
It does this about 4 times then the computer shuts down. When the computer restarts and goes back to the AHCI init screen it now shows "S.M.A.R.T. Error", but Windows boots without a problem. If the computer is shut down (powered off) the next boot will not show the error.
I've had Windows 7RC 32-bit, and currently also have XP-64 and XP-32 partitions on this machine with no problems at all. If I set the machine to Native IDE instead of AHCI everything goes back to normal with no shutdown issues.
Any ideas?
What can I do to make my graphics card work perfect but not messing up the pc I have tried downloading the drivers got hold of various versions tried them but they kept on giving me the problem, with a black screen after window logo loading.
