Re: Slow system Performance

If you flashed with @BIOS and your board still works you are fine, nothing you need to re-do or anything.

You can reflash with Qflash if you want anytime, please do not use @BIOS anymore.

Re: Slow system Performance

Yes, it can work fine, but when it does not you will be sending your board in for RMA.

SO PLEASE DO NOT USE!

Re: Slow system Performance

LSD, is Turbo and Extreme performance enhance settings really fine to use? I never used them and always thought you suggested Standard.

Yes, I only use Extreme on X58, even at 2100+ Mhz. I have seen several issues with standard on X58, not sure why? So it seems to me Turbo and Extreme are better to use on X58 compared to Standard for previous gen. boards.

Re: Slow system Performance

Hi,
I am getting the previous issues still, but i think the performance is improved (i am going with Turbo Performance only,do Extreme will increase the performance more??). the issues still getting are: Dr Watson error( (randomly)when i am copying something if i try to open a window, this issue is coming) and another issue is : suddenly all the process hang ,then i need to log off and log on again to solve it.I am using window XP. Which operating system is best for gigabyte?? is Dr.watson error because of any hardware issues? One more question : after the desktop is loaded how much time it will take for the system to work fine (suppose i have antivirus ,antispyware,utorrent in start up and Maya,max and certain games installed), does quadcore and corei7 take the same time??

thank you,

Re: Slow system Performance

Disable Dr.Watson is what I suggest, it may be causing you problems and complaining about things that do not matter.
How to disable Dr. Watson for Windows

It should only take a few seconds, once you see your desktop, for you to be able to use it... maybe 10 seconds or so. You may have way to much in your startup if it is longer. Let me know if you need help managing what is in startup and what can be removed from startup, and I can advise you what you can remove and how to do so.

What settings are you using now in the BIOS?

Is this a clean XP install? XP is fine for use in these boards if that is the system you like, no need to switch if you don't want to.

Re: Slow system Performance

Hi,
I will try the link you given me to stop Dr.Watson error.
I have managed or stopped many programs from start up using msconfig (the prgramms running in the start up are utorrent,APC software for rs1000,keyboard functionality for logiteck,and a few microsoft fils(i am not sure about microsoft products so didnt disabled those)),so if its not proper can you please suggest me to properly manage those??
I am just using the default settings (load optimized) after Q-Flash and Turbo performace,do i need to change back to the settings you given in post#9 ??
Actually my friend only did the XP install,what i know is he disabled of the drivers install (because when enabled installation was not working properly).And i am not using Original.what i need to do??

thank you,

Re: Slow system Performance

TO manage your startup items you can use windows defender, in the tools then software explorer menu.

I also use this StartupCPL, once installed it will show up in your control panel. Then simply look through each tab and either uncheck to remove from startup or right click and delete.

I suggest you put MSconfig back on normal startup and reboot before you do any of the above though, that way windows it back to normal first.
