Strange Problem With Gigabyte 7NNXP & Keyboard Power On
I just built myself another machine about a month ago .. I've been trying to sort out a problem right from day i got it up n' running ..
Tried contacting the Gigabyte Help desk but in vain.. Still haven't got a response. Anywayz .. herez the problem .. I use the keyboard Power on function on my system(i.e I've set it up in the bios to power up on any key) .. But then everytime I use the keyboard to power on my system .. the system boots up with my processor value as 1250Mhz instead of the actual 3000+ . Strangely though the ratio multiplier in the bios does not change .. I just need to change it to something else n' put in back to the right value .. n' restart ..for it to work fine. There is only one dip switch on the motherboard ..which i've set properly. There is no newer bios available from Gigabyte (Currently F15 .. the one same as on my machine) Can someone Plz help me out with this problem |

You need to change the Front Side Bus (FSB) from 100MHz to 166MHz. You'll be able to change it in "Advanced Chipset Features" in the BIOS.

Thankx for responding but .....
It's already set at 166 .. N' in any case .. if that wasn't set ..then it shouldn't have worked fine even when i use the Power button... Isn't it?? Any other suggestions ..? |

OK, have you changed the clock multiplier to 13x?
(If you had it set at the default 7.5 it and the FSB to 166 then that would report your processor speed as 1250MHz) |

It's only when i use the keyboard to power on ..it boots up as 1250 .. As i told ya earlier .. none of the values in the bios change . So that's what's so confusing Yes ..it is quite a colourful board .. Infact it performs also real well except for this one problem |

Woops, my mistake! sorry.
 As a matter of interest, why do you use your keyboard to power on? |

If the cpu is set to auto detect does the same problem exist?
Does it happen,no matter which key you hit on the keyboard? |

Unfortunately the board does not have an autodetect option .. so can't try that ..
N' Yes this happens irrespective of the key i press since the power on option is set on - Any Key |

I have a Gigabyte board and it has 4 IDE controllers... that's right (4x2) so I could have 8 HD's hooked up if I wanted to. Anyway, the second pair of IDE is limited 16x for all CD-ROM drives, anything more will be "dumbed" down. So I say this that maybe it is a flaw/limitation in Gigabyte's hardware.

You think that I don't know that my own mobo has RAID? Anyway, I say that b/c it might be a defect or a limitation. Technology isn't flawless. Why do you use it anyway? You don't want to touch the power button? What else do you have installed hardware wise? You have logitech devices? Are they wireless? You have RAID setup? What else?

I never mentioned anywher that i have a raid setup .. My problem is I want know why the system is booting up with the wrong clock speed only when i use the keyboard power on funtion .. n' not when i use the power button ..
I use it coz it it makes life easier ..since i have 3 machines in the same location .. n' helps when i just use that keyboard to power the system up .. The systems r hardly shutdown .. It's more that i'm just curious ..y it happens only on this system . Also . my system specs r on my sig .. n' Yes Logitech "Cordless" Duo .. is indeed "cordess"

 I'll state this again... I only give the example b/c both of our boards are from the same company. If mine is limited in some way, so might yours. It was just a thought. You are reading too much into it. Second, I don't see your "sig". Third, make sure your Logitech drivers are upto date. Good Luck!

The jumper on the board should be(pwrsw)to on,it is shipped with it in the off position,this jumper will set the board to either 100fsb or the higher settings.
The autodetect is set in bios when you set the values to normal. |

Haven't been to this thread in a few days, is there anything in the BIOS to do with this keyboard option, liking turning it on or off?

If this board is using the Nvidia2 chipset,it's pretty well documented,they can fail at holding bios settings,you may have that problem.
With Asus boards,it was discovered by changing the cmos battery helped or cured the problem,whether this applies to your board,I don't know,but nothing ventured,nothing gained. |

No .. that's not the problem here .. the bios values are held properly .. There are no changes at all .. it only boots up with the wrong processor speed only if i use the keyboard power on

Have you checked the speed of the cpu once in the OS,it could be running at the right speed,but the bios reports it as something else.
Have you tried the other start options like setting a specfic key? |

I think we've exhausted every avenue here.
I think either: (1) The motherboard has a fault. (2) It is a design fault (which may or not be solved by a future BIOS update). |
