How do I use the eSATA ports on my Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P?

The eSATA ports on this board are controlled by the JMicron controller. Apparently Windows 7 can't find drivers for that chip, so I had to find and install them myself. Although the motherboard does come with a "drivers" CD, and an older version of those drivers is on it...

How do I use the eSATA ports on my Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P?

Problem solved: I never installed the drivers. They are on this page: ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/XP_Vista_Win7/. I installed R1.17.51.02_eSATA.zip, and everything is working great. Running Windows 7, I have been lulled into believing that it has, or can find, all of the drivers...

How do I use the eSATA ports on my Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P?

OK, I found the BIOS option to set the eSATA ports to AHCI mode. I set that and restarted Windows. Then I plugged my eSATA disk into one of the ports, powered it on, and... Nothing. Next time I restart, I'll keep the disk powered on and plugged into the eSATA port, to see if that makes a...

How do I use the eSATA ports on my Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P?

I enabled them in the BIOS, and they don't work. I am testing with an eSATA disk that works on my old GA-EP45-UD3P. I should have mentioned, though, that I am running Windows 7 on my new GA-P55-UD4P, and I was running XP on my old GA-EP45-UD3P.

GA-P45-U3DP Slow POST

I have this board, and I have had this problem in the past. I think it is trying to detect drives connected to your SATA ports. Try disabling the SATA ports that are empty. Unfortunately, the BIOS calls them IDE ports in some cases, so it's a bit confusing. Sorry I can't be more...

How do I use the eSATA ports on my Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P?

On my old GA-EP45-UD3P, the eSATA ports were on a slot bracket, and I plugged them into SATA headers on the motherboard. On my new GA-P55-UD4P, the eSATA ports are part of the rear connectors. I have them enabled in the BIOS (which is the default), but I can't get either of my eSATA disks to...

My GA-P55-UD4P is dead; what can I do?

I reset the CMOS and removed the battery 5 times each, to no avail. The memory was seated just fine. There were no beeps. It just powers on for 1/10 of a second, then dies.

My GA-P55-UD4P is dead; what can I do?

Core i7 860, Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P. I had this running at 180 * 21 = 3.78 GHz using auto everything. Then I tried the settings specified in this Anand review of the UD2 (http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3652&p=6): VCore 1.375 VTT 1.39 PLL 1.86 And now my system is...

CPU runs hotter when OCing memory

I learned this less in the Core 2 Duo days. I bought PC2-1066 RAM, which at the time was the fastest available. I ended up running the RAM at PC2-800 speeds. Right now I think the DDR3 sweet spot is DDR3-1600. NewEgg has the Mushkin DDR3-1600 (7-7-7-20, 1.9V) at $100 for 4GB. The...

CPU runs hotter when OCing memory

I was just about to suggest that... I also have a Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P, a core i7 860, and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. I have Mushkin PC3-1600 RAM rated at 7-7-7-20. I am currently running at 180 * 21 = 3.78 GHz. The memory is running at PC3-1440, which is actually underclocked...

*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

I just got a Q9650 working in this board. Here's what I did: 1) Update the BIOS to 2801. 2) Install CPU 3) Restart; it detects the new CPU and sets everything back to defaults 4) Enter Setup, F10 to restart, and... 5) Dead! I forgot to disable all of the advanced features in the BIOS...

*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

I have version 0801 if you still need it. But I'm assuming you solved your problem. I'm interesting in a QX9650 for my P5W DH Deluxe; did you ever get it to work? Thanks.

Dead (?) Asus P5W DH Deluxe/Core 2 Extreme X6800

I figured it out. I replaced my high-speed RAM with some older, slower RAM, and it booted (with the Pentium processor). I know the high-speed RAM is good, because it's practically brand new. I checked my settings, and the memory voltage was too low. I upped it, replaced the X6800 and the...

Dead (?) Asus P5W DH Deluxe/Core 2 Extreme X6800

Update: I found an old Pentium CPU that fits this motherboard, and put it in. Same deal; no keyboard lights, no video, and no NorthPole fan circulation.

Dead (?) Asus P5W DH Deluxe/Core 2 Extreme X6800

During the hot weather last week, my system was having some troubles. It finally failed to boot, and I noticed that the NorthPole XL chipset cooler fan wasn't turning. So I bought another one and installed it, and this one won't turn either. I tried it on all 3 plugs on the motherboard, and...
