SN78SH7 shuttle anyone?

_Jimlad_ · 5 Jan 2010 at 13:44

what memory do you have? and yeah the chipset drivers may help, however could be bios settings. might be worth adding your spec in the sig buddy

tom-17 · 5 Jan 2010 at 13:48

OK added them to my sig.

Its this though

Download speed for the chipset driver is soooo slow!

yeah same stuff as me, i get 7.3 or something (shuttle at home) will have a look. are you getting the drivers from the nvidia site?

tom-17 · 5 Jan 2010 at 14:08

No was downloading them from the shuttle website.

Am i better off getting them from the nvidea website?

Case is pretty crowded now

Just put the cover on, gpu seems to hang around 68 degrees.
Done some googling and that doesnt seem unusual apparently!!??

_Jimlad_ · 5 Jan 2010 at 14:19

no that is the expected temp, yeah get the latest ones from the nivida site

_Jimlad_ · 5 Jan 2010 at 14:21

just pick which ever one you are 32 or 64 and install, it will only install what it needs

tom-17 · 5 Jan 2010 at 14:41

Ok thanks, 64 bit it is...

Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how it goes

worth running msupdate after too, then try rerunning your win7 test

tom-17 · 5 Jan 2010 at 14:48

Been talking to a mate who claims to know about computers. He rekons theres something odd going on. Had me take a shot of my memory with cpuz.

Doesnt really mean much to me but what do you make of it?

_Jimlad_ · 5 Jan 2010 at 14:55

yeah cpuz is a good proggie, i would imagine its a bios setting if doing the drivers did not change something

tom-17 · 5 Jan 2010 at 15:09

No luck, Drivers have got rid of the unrecognised coprocessor I had in the device manager.

Ram still remains the same. Suggestions for next step please?

I resolved the issue - the bios had the stepping set to 0. I changed it to 2, and now I score 5.9 overall which is much better. My cpu is 7.3, which is not three bad for a Shuttle!

wonder if it has anything to do with this in the bios?

tom-17 · 5 Jan 2010 at 15:22

OK, I'll have another poke around see what options I can change.
Already changed timings to manual, and speed from auto to 533. No effect.

_Jimlad_ · 5 Jan 2010 at 15:24

well try that stepping stuff, u also need to look at your drive settings. i had this because mine were incorrect.

what have you got in the shuttle drive wise?

tom-17 · 5 Jan 2010 at 15:42

ugh just got taught a lesson about messing with stuff i dont understand. Changed some of the ram timings and it wouldnt boot. Had to remove the battery from the mobo to rest the bios. Lucky they have the battery in such a convenient position eh!

Drive wise i have a Sony BDU-X10S blu ray drive
and WD cavier green 1TB

happens to us all... i will be back home later and will show my settings. So i presume both your drives are SATA?

tom-17 · 5 Jan 2010 at 15:48

Yeah thats right, tried changing the stepping. Doesnt seem to have done anything.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

cheers for the input, i don't see how a duel card can fit in this case?

yep! apparently so, read it in a few reviews (eg. http://uk.shuttle.com/awards_detail.jsp?award_id=1037 )- but it covers up the other pci slot so wont be able to use that

anyways i'm not really too tecchy, but hope tom-17 sorts out the issues he has with his shuttle atm! i'll keep an eye on the thread

mine arrives in a week
