problem with my Gigabyte DS4

princejim · 20 Nov 2006 at 19:55

I am having trouble with my DS4, after 1 week of working well, it has started losing 1 of the IDE drives (dvdrw)? Also the network conection to my router is giving me trouble? Anyone any ideas?? Please.

Should be an option in the BIOS to turn the logo off.

Im sure someone else here had the slow burning prob.

I had this problem with a laptop, if there are a few read/write errors (6 or so I think) within a certain timeframe, windows will switch the device from DMA to PIO. And then everything goes s-l-o-w...

I used the registry method on this page to fix it:-
