Re: GA-MA785GMT-UD2H EES and other BIOS questions
Hmmmn - I'm not sure if I am getting closer to a solution or not ....
* - It is not the P-version of the board, and I didn't know sideport meant dedicated graphics memory. I didn't think is had dedicated graphics memory, but when I set it at 512M and checked with either Aida32, SiSoftSandra, or HWMonitor, it showed 1.5M of main memory and either 650 or 768 (I forget) of VRAM, so 100-200M of VRAM appeared from somewhere.
* I am running the HD in AHCI mode - it was my first SATA drive and I thought this was recommended. Can/should I switch it to something else? (Could this be causing the issues I am having?) Not sure which SATA driver I am running either.
* I didn't know you could download the individual drivers separately on the Catalyst page - thanks.
I had a different BSOD last night - a stop error, specifically:
STOP 0X0000008E (0XC000005, 0XBF2C1B4E, 0X93BF6B94, OX00000000)
Ati3duag.dll - Address BF2C1B4E BASE at BF1C000
Datestamp 4af19b5a
Google didn't help much ...
5 pages on the issue here, but nothing that seems applicable (I'm running SP3 so already have those KB fixes). I would almost try going with a dedicated Nvidia card as they seem to have less driver issues, but it seems they have NV4disp.dll driver issues.
It's not so annoying that I can't live with it, but I would like to find a solution!!!
