gigabyte

Hey guys - new to the boards but hope you can help! I currently am running a Gigabyte motherboard and a AMD PII X4 970 CPU. Based on gaming performance, I'm looking to make the switch to Intel (I guess that gamble of waiting for bull/piledriver to blow me away didn't pay off :razz:) Anyways...

A couple of days ago my OS hard drive has failed. I was using Ableton Live and it crashed, so had to reboot the computer. But instead of loading windows, I got "0xc000000f -- The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible" error. In addition to this I have noticed that it...

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place to post this one so forgive me if it's not. Apparently you cannot update from a 32-bit version of Windows (XP in my case) to 64-bit Win 8 using the Windows Upgrade Assistant and the downloadable $39.99 version, you have to purchase a boxed DVD set and...

Everytime I shut down my computer and turn it back on the windows aero theme reverts back to basic mode. I have tried going to personalize and changing it there but it doesnt do anything and I even went into the registry and edited it and that still didnt do anything. I downloaded the latest...

I'm not certain if this has anything to do with Windows, or my motherboard, or overloading my system, or whatever. But I could use some input. I built my current system in the summer of 2009. I tried to "futureproof" as much as I could by putting in a Corei7 processor (the low-end, 2.66 Ghz...

My new gaming PC has been driving me crazy for the past two weeks I've had it. Since it's been built, it's given me windows update errors, blue screens, and everything in between. Last night it said Windows encountered a Critical Error, and crashed immediately. I've ran memtest on my ram and it...

Hello all :) Today I turned on my PC as normal (it shut down fine last night, no new installations of anything or any new hardware etc) and windows startup repair popped up saying my computer cannot start. So I let it finish and it said "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" so I...

I have played Battlefield Bad Company 2 for a long time now. I never had any issues with the game. It always ran perfect with no problem. I stopped playing for a bout 10 months. I recently started playing again and I can play the game just fine. Runs smooth, no issues in game. But when I go to...

My system is set to enter sleep mode after 20 minutes. It works five with one glaring exception. Wake it in the morning and it's fine. It will then go to sleep mode ONCE. After that it will shut down the displays but not the computer. After a restart everything is fine for the next 24...

Lately, my computer has been taking 10 minutes to shut down, and every time it does, I get the BSOD. I'm pretty sure my drivers need updating, I just don't know which ones. Can someone help me out? Specs: -GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard -AMD Phenom II...

I have been using my desktop for a while now, and I notice that even when the memory, CPU are active or inactive but not at a high usage level, a single task (such as right clicking on a tray icon) or opening a program will stall the hard drive, as disk access shoots up to 100% or near it...

I bought my PC a month ago and I've had the BSOD appear a few times already, since I have guarantee coverage I can change the hardware if there's a problem with it. I'm hoping it's not the RAM but I'm no expert, hope you can give me a hand here. I think I've got everything needed in the .RAR...
