My board, which I've been bench testing for about 5 days, has really been flaking out on me. It would never let me really install the Catalyst drivers for my EAH 5870 card (I think it has something to do with the Intel INF file, says it is installing but not sure it really is - I installed from the disk and from the Gigabyte download site - same results. The only way I get any video drivers installed is from the Gigabyte disk and that is it, can't update for Win 7 64 at all, no way.)
The other really weird problem for me has been the AHCI detection in the BIOS no matter the version (F2, F3, F3K and today F4). All of a sudden it hangs on the SATA AHCI bios, and will say no device detected on that port. Luckily I had another SSD drive around to test and until I did a CMOS clear and reset, I could get it to appear sometimes but not always. Even changed out the SATA cables.
I've requested an RMA as this board has been way too weird and unreliable, spent way too much time troubleshooting it, and not even getting to enjoy the overclocking part of it yet. How many returns is Gigabyte getting of these revision 1.0 boards?
Again if someone has a great idea I'd sure like to hear it, so far my last thread got looked at but no responses. Last ditch effort here thanks.
