I recently completed a build using the Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboard, and for the most part I'm impressed by the operation and features.
However, I am having a recurring, repeating, intractable problem where I am repeatedly seeing the following error message:
This Driver can't release to failure!!
This error appears at least a dozen times whenever I boot into Windows. I can also trigger the error on demand by loading the Gigabyte System Information app or the Gigabyte Performance Monitor. I am guessing that this is an issue with all of the Gigabyte apps, but I have only used those two on a regular basis.
Now, as best I can tell, there is no actual fault that is causing this error message. My system seems stable, I do not have unexpected crashes, I am not seeing unusual system behavior of any type.
In fact, the only real problem I've had in using those two Gigabyte apps is that when I set a profile for the CPU fans, they are not applied to the BIOS, and as a result each time I boot up, the fans are set at the defaults. However, if I manually load the System Information Viewer (which contains the fan customization controls), the fan speeds change to my personal profile. I don't have to change any settings or click anything -- just loading the SIV reinstates my fan profile. It would be nice for these fan settings to stick between Windows sessions, but at least this is an issue I could address via the Windows Event Scheduler.
But this repeated driver error message is extremely annoying.
I have done Google searches previously in attempt to track down the cause of the error, but every single thread I have found around the Internet indicates that the problem is fairly widespread with Gigabyte motherboard product apps, but no one has been able to offer a solution or workaround. Most worrying and telling, is that some of these reports about this specific error message stretches back as far as 2011. That would indicate that this problem, whatever its cause, has been around for nearly 5 years without being corrected by Gigabyte. Can that possibly be true?
If I had been aware of this longstanding problem prior to purchasing this motherboard, I almost certainly would have selected another alternative. probably a comparable board from either ASUS or ASRock.
So that's why I'm here. I need to eliminate this error, or I'm likely to return the motherboard for something that will not repeatedly annoy me every time my computer boots up or on the occasions where I fire up one of the Gigabyte apps and see the error message.
It's simply not acceptable, so I hope that someone can help me fix this problem.
Thanks!
