Hey guys,

I finished my new build last night and everything was good until I starting adding my drivers...

I started noticing problems after the installation of the latest Catalyst drivers and the auto installation drivers from the Gigabyte install CD? Incidentally, do I actually need any of the drivers on the CD, I’ve downloaded the latest LAN driver from the Gigabyte site but I haven’t tried it because I thought it was easier to do everything automatically from the disc – that was the only other driver I thought I needed? I have my own audio etc.

Problems after the drivers being installed so far have included random freezing/slowdown and a mom.exe start up error – they might be unrelated, but things were good until I started adding drivers :(

Cheers,

SW.
 
with mine i used the cd to put the drivers on then used everest home edition to update all the drivers on my system, only problem with mine is that my sound dont work :(
 
Okay then mate, maybe it's not them then? I'm thinking now it could be my X-fi drivers - I used the supplied CD (2005) instead of downloading the latest ones...

I think I'm going to do a fresh Windows install this avo ;)

Btw, have you got any fan plugged into the sys_fan1/pwr_fan socket? I have and it powers up but I've got no reading for it in the bios? Maybe it's an update or something - I think I'm currently on F4 :)

Are you on Vista? I'm still on XP and mine appears to work?

Edit: Seeing your sig:

--*** C2D E6430<> Leadtek 640MB 8800GTS*S****--
--*** Spinpoints 500gb+320gb <> Akasa Mirage***--
--*** Gigabyte P35-DS3R <> 2gig OCZ Titanium***--
--*** Custom Watercooling Soon ***--

Did you use the Intel RAID or the Gigabyte RAID setup for your HD? If you used the Intel configuration, can I ask if you installed your driver via a traditional floppy driver? I have an issue where I couldn't get a USB floppy to work :(

to be honest i havent checked the fans in bios, just checked that it was spinning and that was it :p

im running XP, i used the standard raid for my drivers, havent had no problems with my DS3R apart from the audio :(
 
Well this is what I have:

It's a bit odd actually because on looking again, I do actually have the three fan values? They just seem a bit messed up :(

And there's no actual Power Fan connection on the board itself?

Hopefully the bios update will sort it out.

i believe mine is the same because you have got the cpu fan plugged in to the cpu fan montioring one, my front fan is connected to the pwr fan and my rear fan is connected to the system fan towards the back of the motherboard. looks fine to me :)
 
Okay - I'll let that one go then :)

But what about this -

I've got no idea what card this is, all my current cards have setup fine?

Any ideas :(

I think I've disabled the onboard sound card, but the usb is interesting...

The boards has drivers on the Gigabyte CD doesn't it?

I can't see anything on the Gigabyte site :(

SW.
 
on gigabytes website there is a section, sorry cant remember where, where there is a download centre, scans your motherboard for drivers you havent got or need updating. shall have a look now
 
I tried out their website upgrade thing and that went okay but I've still got the PCI question marked :(

I take it yours is okay?

Has anyone else got any ideas :)

SW.
 
mine doesnt have the question mark against it but i havent got any other PCI devices other than my graphics, still waiting my soundcard :( just double check that you have got the latest drivers for all extra devices you got and try and work out what device it means by going through all the devices you got and writing them down until you get to one you have got

Thanks for the reply mate; I'm now thinking it's to do with not having any of the serial/raid Windows-based software installed? I'm using the Intel raid controller (for HD and the Gigabyte controller for my DVD) but the only raid driver I installed was done during the original (F6) Windows installation.

You installed the drivers automatically didn't you, off of the Gigabyte auto-lunch CD with any problems? I haven't done that since my first attempt (see op) because I thought it was this causing the system slowdown - but it was probably the fact that I installed the latest ATI cats without updating Windows first :)

I think it’s time to try the CD again...

Cheers,

SW.
 
i always install the cd drivers then i go online and see if theres any updates. give the cd drivers a go and then tell us how it goes
 
Nope, that didn't work :(

My drivers are all right up to date tho.

Tomorrow I might unplug both my PCI devices, my modem and sound card, and see if the system still shows it as dysfunctional?

I may even re-enable the onboard sound too to see if that changes anything...
