UD3P Realtek LANs This device cannot start (Code 10)

Re: UD3P Realtek LANs This device cannot start (Code 10)

Btw, I have been having serious headaches with this mobo (only with the LAN/1394 drivers. I can't believe I didn't think to turn off quick boot. Made so much sense when I heard that. I did that and rebooted and all is well for the first time since booting.

I registered with the express purpose of saying thanks to everyone on this thread.

@larft

I've also done the optimized defaults etc and reloaded the FD BIOS and recovered the LAN controller but it wouldn't stay.

Did you:

1. re-flash using the FD bios
2. load optimized bios settings
3. save settings and exit
4. immediately re-boot into the bios
5. disable quick-boot
6. make any other needed bios changes and then save settings and exit

When you say "it wouldn't stay", I assume that you're talking about the LAN controller.

Hang around the forum and we'll learn you more things.

Sorry, that wasn't the clearest response.

I had reflashed using the FD BIOS several times and then loaded optimized defaults, seemed that once I did this each time the LAN controller would work in Windows, it always worked in the BIOS regardless, I would have a MAC address and be able to use the smart LAN function to test the connection. After saving and rebooting the LAN controller would function correctly in Windows but I would then lose it at some point later after shutting down and rebooting, all of this was before I learned about the Quick Boot function. Once I disabled Quick Boot, saved it and completed the POST into Windows everything has been fine. I tried turning Quick Boot back on and the LAN controller was fine for a few reboots but I eventually lost it again in Windows, you could watch it, in the POST process it was active but as soon as Windows started to load the activity lights would turn off, disabling Quick Boot would then allow it to function correctly again.

Interesting that the Quick Boot function was added, this is the only difference I can see in the BIOS between the 1.0 rev board I have in my main machine and the 1.6 rev in the machine I have been struggling with, I have had no trouble whatsoever with the earlier board. The difference in boot time with it on or off is maybe 5 seconds, it would be nice it worked properly but leaving it off is not an issue. This is the kind of problem I would have expected to see with an installed add on card, not the motherboard devices themselves, I think it may be conflicting with the 1394 controller since the first time Windows loaded after disabling Quick Boot it found both the 1394 and LAN controller as new devices.

Seems like a bug in this version of the board, why even have it if it doesn't work?

I recommend that you contact Gigabyte tech support via email and include a link to this thread.
Hopefully this will help the bios engineers fix the quick boot problem in a future bios release.

If we're lucky, the fixed bios version might include the comment "enhanced quick-boot compatibility." :0

**edit** No program can ever be bug free.
As a former main-frame programmer, there never were any bugs in my programs....

Re: UD3P Realtek LANs This device cannot start (Code 10)

So, I am having this same exact issue with a GA-EP45-UD3R motherboard, however I can't seem to fix it.

Every reboot the NIC and all but one of the USB Host Controllers have Code 10 errors. USB keyboard and mouse do function. I can obviously uninstall each one and search for changes (interesting note: disabling and re-enabling also works, but is slower) to get all the devices back. That is annoying to do EVERY reboot.

I have loaded the latest Realtek drivers for the NIC and that didn't make a difference. I updated to the F12 BIOS and reset to defaults and that didn't work. Even tried loading optimized defaults and that didn't work either. I have Quick Boot disabled to no avail. So, any other suggestions on how I can fix this that does NOT involve reinstalling Win7? I really want to avoid having to reinstall all of my apps.

I am sure there is some way to completely remove the devices in the registry so that it is forced to find them anew upon the next reboot. I assume it is a DMI issue like people have worked out before.

Please send in a report and see what Gigabyte has to say about this, I think we are talking on this in another thread too right?

Do you have a link for that other thread by any chance?

As for sending in a report, is there a post on the proper way to do that? Thanks.

Just follow the link above and fill out a form with your issue and info. They will get back to you in a few days normally.

Ohh sorry, so maybe it was not you on the other threads, there was some users with USB issues similar to what you describe recently so I thought you may have been one of them. Here is the thread

Re: UD3P Realtek LANs This device cannot start (Code 10)

Ok, not sure what exactly happened, but it is fine now. A few reboots later and all the devices are starting after reboot. So, I am good. For now. :-)

Re: UD3P Realtek LANs This device cannot start (Code 10)

Hmm, did you change anything?

Well nice to see it is working now anyway, but it would be nice to know what caused it and how it got fixed in case it happens to you again later on. Hope you can find out, or it doesn't happen anymore.

Re: UD3P Realtek LANs This device cannot start (Code 10)

Well, like I had stated earlier I flashed the BIOS to F12. I went back and set it to Optimized Defaults and rebooted a few times. Guess the BIOS finally did rescan all the DMIs. Only thing I can think of really.

Re: UD3P Realtek LANs This device cannot start (Code 10)

Ahh ok, well thanks! It was likely the BIOS update that fixed it, causing the DMI Pool to rebuild like you thought.

Glad it's working for you now though! Post back anytime

Re: UD3P Realtek LANs This device cannot start (Code 10)

What is weird is that it didn't work right after flashing the BIOS and resetting all the settings. It took about 10 reboots after that to actually fix itself. I guess that is a lesson learned. If at first it doesn't work, reset the setting to Optimized and try again.

Re: UD3P Realtek LANs This device cannot start (Code 10)

Hmm, well at least it's working now!

Good luck with this, hope it stays working for you now!
