I haven't used this pc since I got hit by ransomeware a few years back. I cleaned all the drives and reinstalled Windows 7. I never had a cold boot problem before although I've read it is a problem with this board but after installing Windows, I can't get it to boot without going into BIOS and making...

Re: Which AHCI driver for GA-EP35-DS3P

Thanks! I found a download for the ICH9 SATA ACHI Controller and I already downloaded the Jmicron JMB36x controller from Gigabyte.

I'm creating a slipstream disc for XP Pro and I don't know which driver to choose.

I downloaded the newest preinstall drivers from Gigabyte and it lists different drivers than the manual shows. The manual says to install the ICH9 SATA ACHI Controller but the updated driver doesn't show...

Re: Can't Overclock Anymore



I have no idea. BIOS now shows 1.396v vcore in PC health control and 34*C system temp and 41*C CPU temp. I may take a little more off of CPU voltage. I'm pretty sure that the windows error counter was causing the OC problems....

Re: Can't Overclock Anymore

I took the battery out but this time I replaced it with a new one. We'll see how long it stays overclocked.

Re: Can't Overclock Anymore

Reflashed the BIOS and raised MCH to +.20 but no help. I always set Performance Enhance to Normal. I have a doctors appointment this morning. I'll take the battery out later today and see if that helps. There is no 2.66 setting for System Memory Multiplier....

Re: Can't Overclock Anymore

Now I can't uninstall the stupid POS.

EDIT: Went into safe mode and uninstalled it.


I guess the board is shot for overclocking.
