Interesting. I tried to build a new system based on their X79-UD5 motherboard, and for the life of me I couldn't get it to POST into its BIOS setup. No amount of keyboard pressing (or smashing) would get me past the opening screen. I tried even swapped the motherboard with a new one (along with the 3930k chip, if you believe that).
That was the first system I ventured away from my usual stand-by of Asus. I thought Gigabyte had a good name, but it left a fairly bad taste in my mouth.

If on-board raid controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 1+0, and I have 14 SATA ports, as on the GA-X79A-UD3, and I use 2 of them for BR burners, and one for the boot disk, and I add a hardware controller from Areca for RAID 3 or RAID 3+0, then the remaining 11 SATA ports and the on-board raid controller serve me no purpose.

Qosmio F30-147 broken due to overheating

*Qosmio F30-147*
Hello dear toshiba users!
My notebook seems to be broken due to overheating.
When i noticed it the fan was running on high speed and the chassis was untouchable hot.
Also the system was frozen and the display showed vertical coloured stripes.
After an hour or so i tried to boot it again and it failed to boot. All i got was a screen with two-tone vertical stripes ( [see picture|http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/1040/img0472c.jpg] )
Since my system doesn't seem to boot i guess it's more than just a graphic card failure.
Any suggestions?
Highly appreciated!
I'm lost without my qosmio!

Hi
> I'd installed a graphic driver i've got directly from nvidia a few months ago. I wasn't aware of the overheat protection toshiba delivers in their own drivers. Lesson learned.
This was bad idea. The nVidia graphic card driver are not designed for mobile usage because they don't support the overheating protection. The graphic card driver controls the heat dissipation and if the internal temperature would increase to a critical level, then the graphic card driver would decrease the performance and this would help to go down with the temperature.
Anyway I'm not quite sure how much is the replacement but it could be a costly affair because the mobo is one of the expensive notebook parts.
Get in contact with the ASP guys and ask for the details.

Hp p6210y shutdown due to overheating now won't boot up

i was working on my computer this evening and it shut down, after i rebooted it said it was due to overheating. shut down, restarted and it happened again within 2 minutes. tried to reboot and all the fans start up, i hear the hard drive accessed for 2 seconds and then nothing. 45 seconds later it shuts itself off and tries to boot again with the same results. during boot up the monitor doesn't receive a signal and i don't get a bios screen.what should i try?

If you see an error message that says shutdown for overheating do not restart a PC until the fan has been replaced with a new one and new thermal interface material put in place. The fan sensor may have failed or the fan itself may be faulty.
I dislike having to tell you this, but the failure to pay attention to error messages of so serious an event as this may have cost you the CPU.
Your PC's release to market year was 2009. It is unlikely to be under warranty unless you purchased an extended warranty.
Did you remove the cover to investigate the issue? I suggest you take it to a shop to have it looked at or if in warranty contact HP.

Motherboard/card reader/overheating problem with pavilion dv2000 series

I bought an HP dv2845se notebook in April of 2008. Soon after purchasing I noticed that the laptop would get extremely hot, sometimes to the point that it would burn my legs if I kept it on my lap too long. After doing some research, I noticed that on some HP laptops the nVidia GPU could be defective and that HP recalled many of its notebooks' batteries. However, my computer was not included in the recall nor the class action lawsuit against nVidia. Almost since purchasing this computer, I cannot watch videos or play graphic-intensive video games due to the computer getting so hot that the video/game would become unbearably choppy. In August of 2009, 4 months after my warranty was up due to the fact that I was not included in any extended warranty offered by HP, my hard drive stopped working. Luckily I had purchased a service plan through Best Buy and they informed me that my laptop had gotten so hot that it damaged the hard drive beyond repair. They replaced it but I lost all of my music and important documents for school. Angry, I tried contacting HP support regarding the overheating issue and multiple people told me that since my warranty was up I would have to pay if I wanted anything repaired or replaced. Fast forward to a few days ago. My card reader and firewire port only work every few times I turn on my computer. They show up as three Base System Devices and an IEEE 1394 Controller when not working and trying to update drivers does not work. I have tried everything, including taking out my battery and holding down the power button. After hours of research I have discovered that my motherboard is probably failing because the card reader still lights up when a card is inserted. Is anybody else having these problems? Am I correct in my diagnosis? I would like to bring my computer back to Best Buy before my service plan is up to see if they could replace my motherboard.

If you still have warranty from best buy go use it. Compaint about the card reader and IEEE port. Fixing that items would be a complete motherboard replacement. dv2700 series with Nvidia GPU has been known as a "warm" notebook. I purchase 3 years warranty but till now still working fine with normal usage, barely not playing any games in it.

Can Mavericks become corrupt due to overheating?

This is a pretty oddball question, I understand, but I am just hoping someone can shed some light. In the past few days I have had OSX 10.9.2 become what I believe is corrupt. It gets stuck on the white apple logo screen during boot. The mouse can be moved around on this screen, but only in the top left hand corner of the screen (almost like a mask on the other 75% and it goes behind it). I have reinstalled Mavericks twice now and it fixes the issue, but I'm afraid it might happen again. To add context to this issue, I play Diablo 3 on it, and have been for a few weeks now. This just happened the other day and there is a known memory leak they are planning to patch shortly. I am not certain if this has caused hardware issues due to possible overheating. I idle around 70 degrees celsius (iStats). I can do some more digging later, but I thought I would post to see if anyone has experienced something similar or has any insight on to what this might be (software vs hardware).
MacBook Pro
Retina, Mid 2012
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
8 gb memory
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1gb
OS X 10.9.2

I would just wait until they fix the memory issue before playing it again. Heat can't cause software corruption, only hardware.
I hope I solved your question.

Anyone using Gigabyte Z77-D3H motherboard and having issues with detecting creative products?

my motherboard cannot detect X7 on win 7pro 64, win 8.1 and 8 pro 64.

Sometimes upgrading the USB port drivers help. I visited the GA-Z77-D3H driver website and found a few files that you can install. You may want to try installing the Intel Management Engine Interface, Intel INF installation and Etron USB 3.0 driver. I think it is better to download from Gigabyte's website as it may be a newer version compared to the one in the included driver disc.
i have actually already downloaded all the drivers from gigabyte and updated all of them but still undetected.

Which MacBook Pros are safe to buy used and not recalled for video graphics/display failure (due to overheating)?

I've had some bad luck with MacBook Pros lately. I bought a 2010 model but it was effectively a Total Loss because of a vehicle accident. From searching with Google, people have reported logic board failures. Who knows if mine would've failed, too.
Then I bought an older 2009 MacBook Pro and that eventually failed due to the graphics chip failure. There was a recall on it but the problem occured JUST after the recall period expired. I don't have a microwave solder lying around or a proper setup to fix the problem myself.
Now, I im in the market for a used MacBook Pro, as a gift (I can't afford a new one right now) (with the luck I have, I'm basically done with them but the person wants one).
I've seen some 2011 models priced quite attractively, which caused me to do a quick check and find that the (early) 2011 models also have video graphic failures. I don't get it. I understand paying for the name, but the name also has to have reliability and you don't hear about video graphics failures from some of the more well known PC manufacturers..just saying.
I'd strongly prefer to not purchase any retina models, if at all possible. I want a mechanical SATA HDD and an optical drive. I oppose proprietary components -- as I understand it, the retina models make it nearly impossible to upgrade.
Which used MacBook Pros are safe for purchase? In other words, which ones do not have recalls or are susceptible to video graphics/display failures? I don't want to put the money down for one, only to hear it kicked the bucket and it needs service and is out of warranty.
Thank you for your time.

MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G will work on my Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5 motherboard?

Hello! I want' to buy this graphix card but I don't know if it'll work on my mobo. Is an AM3 (not AM3+) mobo with a Phenom II x6.
Thank you!

I know people with GTX 970 running on phenom's II (with am3 mobos), but I didn´t find anyone with my motherboard.
I'll contact Gigabyte, but it's support is annoying...

Cannot download drivers for my network adapter - Gigabyte X58A-UD5 Motherboard

Hey everyone, I recently got tired of my wireless connection for obvious reasons and decided to run an ethernet cable from my modem to my computer. I once I plugged in the ethernet cable nothing happened; I was confused and checked my network adapters
and my Lan adapter isn't there, no problem I'll just go download the drivers for it. I downloaded DriverTuner from the gigabyte site, and ran it found I didn't have drivers for an "Ethernet Controller" or a "Standard Duel Channel PCI IDE Controller".
So I download and attempt to install the drivers and get the error message "You have to run the 64-bit version of DPInst.exe on this machine - Contact vendor". (That's my problem and question - sorry for the story thought it might help.)
I've tired all number of ways to fix this, including attempts at running DPSisnt.exe, which I have no idea how to run any help would be appreciated, and am I even on the right track? is there something simpler going on?
Thanks :)
Connor

did you try this one?

Tecra S3: Notebook shuts down due to overheating

Whenenver I run CPU-intensive processes on my laptop, the computer's base and the table become untouchably hot and the laptop shuts down without any warning after a certain time.
What can I do?

Hi Kersten
May I ask you how long do you use this notebook??? Did this issue appear in the past???
Mostly such overheating problems happen and are present because the cooling modules dont work properly the dust and debris inside the notebook prevents the fans from rotation with full performance this rises the temperature to the critical level and the notebook shuts down automatically to prevent the hardware from damage.
So in such case its advisable to check the cooling modules and to clean it. The vacuuming could help but be careful such procedure could damage the fans!!!
So maybe you will ask a technician or a Toshiba service partner for a help and for a professional cleaning
good luck

Anyone else seeing their MBP's shut down due to overheating and no fans?

I have a 2 month old MBP that overheats and locks up when playing World of Warcraft in OS X. The processor temp will get to 100-105 and the MBP locks up and requires a forced hard boot. The fans don't spin up - they stay at 2k.
Also, on the Windows side (64 bit Vista), the upper left hand corner of the chassis gets extremely hot - again no fans spin up.
I have resorted to using smcFanControl to manage the fans in order to prevent overheating. I have seen many people post about this exact same problem on these boards - does anyone have any advice? I am concerned that I am frying the hardware over time!
I called Apple tech support and they say they have no knowledge of this being an issue.

No problem here, at first my fans were stuck at 2k regardless of the temps. I reset the SMC and that (at least for me) fixed the problem.
While I use and advocate the use of smcFanControl, I recommend that you get your laptop repaired (or replaced). Now with that said, there seems to be quite a number of threads of WOW users who complain about the heat being generated from using that game and likewise, it seems pretty evident that using Vista means your laptop will be running hot for what ever reason.
If your fans are not ramping up beyond 2k in OSX, then that's not right, if its running hot in vista or playing WOW then that might be another issue.

System freezes, likely due to overheating video card.

I have a Mac Pro (Intel Quad Core, 3ghz), with the OEM Radeon X1900. Recently the machine has been hanging pretty regularly over the past few months. It starts with pixel artifacts extending across certain windows. This phenomenon increases if I am doing some more intense graphic work (video editting, rendering, etc).
I've run through a several system utilities to ensure the integrity of the OS. As far as I can tell, disks and OS are fine.
The only solution I've found so far, is to keep the case open as I am working. This isn't ideal, as it's messing up the airflow over the other boards in the machine. it also let's a lot of dust in (though, maybe no more than normal!)
If it is in fact the card, is there a reasonable replacement, or even an upgrade that I should consider that would solve the problem? I would either want a very inexpensive direct replacement - and save my money for a new machine in the next year or so. OR get one that would be compatible with the latest system as well as mine.
Thoughts are appreciated!
Stephen

How do you know it's overheating you haven't posted any temperatures. If you don't know what they are then download and install iStatPro and then post the temps your system is showing. From those we can give you advice on whether your system is running hot or not.
Also you posted in an iMac forum, you may want to post in the correct forum which would be the Mac Pro forum.
