    Gigabyte x58 ud5 issues

    Hi guys,

    Ne1 with the x58 ud5 had these problems...

    1. the leds lights on the board are all on all the time(yellow & red) despite the fact its running in a normal state, ie not overclocked(stock voltages as well) in anyway....

    I've read the manual & it says the led's should be off when in a normal state, no matter what i do they are all on all the time.

    2. the realtek gigalans(Realtek 8111D) dont work, they both show exclaimation marks next to them in the device manager with the code 101 next to them. I've downloaded the latest drivers from realtek site but it appears the chips are not initializing I've had to use my old intel pro lan card(which works perfectly)... Any down side to using this intel pro card?

    To resolve the issues above i've done a full reset, power cable out, cmos reset etc & loaded the latest bios F8F. Also tried 2 earlier bioses still no luck.

    I'm using win7 rc, but i loaded up vista just in case, same problems....

    That is normal about the LED's, if you want to disable most of them and you are not overvolting things or overclocking you can. You have to disable C1E and EIST in the BIOS, then once in windows you will only see a few LED's

    Do you have the latest Intel Chipset Drivers installed? If not please install those >>
    Download Software, Drivers and Utilities Filters

    Then here is the latest RealTek drivers >>

    Realtek

    And you must be sure you enable the Onboard H/W LAN in the Integrated Peripherals section of the BIOS (Just checking, some people overlook this). When you do this you can go into Smart LAN and do a cable check, it will let you know if it finds a LAN Cable connected or not.

    If it does not find one, please go to the MAIN Page of the BIOS and press F9 for system information, and check on that page to be sure you see a MAC Address listed for your LAN's. If you don't I would advise you flash your BIOS again from DOS or Qflash and disable Keep DMI Data and then of course load and apply optimized defaults after the flash, save and reboot then check all of that again

    Beta BIOS F8h is out if you would like to give that one a try >>

          Ok quick update did all the above "fixes" however both gigalans still how the exclamation marks with the code 10 could not start next to them. Using win7 RTM default drivers & latest realtek drivers it recognizes the gigalans correctly but the exclamation mark appears. I've uninstalled n reinstalled in the device mgr so many times...... :(

          Both gigalans can be seen in the bios if i test the lan connection & both get green lights upon cable connection. As soon as I go into the OS (win7RTM/win7rc as well) the green lights go out n the exclamation marks appear......

            Hmm, ok....

            I will have to look into this myself then as I never had any issues before, but maybe I did have to do something tricky and don't remember? It's possible as I only used windows 7 for a minute

            Give me a day or so and I will test it out again and let you know what I find.

            In the mean time, can you or have you tested XP or Vista to be sure your LAN's both indeed function? Sounds like they do though, but just thought I would ask

              You can install XP and Vista drivers on Windows7. It might be worth trying out some.
              Say you have W7 RC/RTM 32bit, try XP 32bit drivers.
              Say you have W7 RC/RTM 64bit, try Vista 64bit drivers.

              Try one or two versions behind the current driver version.

              Hope you get it all sorted out. :)

                    Yes, and you can always use compatibility mode on the installers as well.

                    I will try to get a test install setup here today if I can find time, I'll let you know

                      Re: Gigabyte x58 ud5 issues

                      Tried xp & vista drivers still no go... I've unistalled n reinstalled all 3 diff driver versions. Always same issue they appear no problem in device mgr but with the exclamation mark & code 10 error..... So weird they appear in the bios under smart lan with the green light yet on the port yet got to OS n they apear to stop working. Dont really wanna install a copy of xp or vista on my sys just to test the gigalan i'd sooner bin off the mobo & get another...

                      Are realtek chips really this flaky, scanning the net they appear to be of a very dubious quality..

                        Re: Gigabyte x58 ud5 issues

                        Have you disabled Smart/Green LAN? If not, please do as this may be causing you issues.

                        Sorry I have not had time yet to test this myself, will try to get to it tonight if I have time.

                        The chips are fine, maybe your board is faulty though, but the chips themselves are ok. Don't give up yet, let me test this on my end. I only have Windows 7 x64 RC though, but should be the same if you are using anything different.

                              Not a problem buddy, that's why I am here. I needed to setup a new Windows 7 install anyway so I can have for other testing as I formatted my older one a week or so ago.

                              K, no issues at all!

                              Nothing needed to be changed or tweaked. I plugged in the cable and then installed windows 7. I did not have to enable the device, install chipset drivers, or LAN Drivers, all was working 100% when I hit the desktop >>>

                              So, it looks like you may need to do a clean or dual install of XP or Vista to ensure your LAN ports are indeed working.

                              Did you ever check the MAC Address info as I noted above using the F9 Key on the MAIN page of the BIOS? If you do, and you do not see MAC Addresses assigned then you may need to reflash your BIOS or flash to a different version to see if that corrects things
