Hi,

So I have a problem with my new machine I just finished to build up. The motherboard is a GA-P55-UD3R, and I want to install Windows 7 64 bits on it. The problem is when I must choose on wich HDD to install it: there is no listed! My HDD is a Western Digital Caviar Black 500 Gb 7200 RPM, and it's detected by the BIOS. Only, I can't install any OS on it :(

I tried to download the Windows 7 64 bits driver on Gigabyte site, I put it on my USB key and when it comes to select wich driver to install, it correctly show the 64 bits device. I click "Load driver", it scans... it scans... and there is still no HDD detected.

I tried almost all possible BIOS combination, with IDE and RAID. Still nothing. I don't know what to try more :(

Thank you.

EDIT: My HDD is connected in the Intel SATA 0 controller. I also tried GSATA, but nothing changed.

HELP.
I'm building a machine for my daughter, 3rd machine I've built, so I'm no expert, and not really a noob. I can't get the machine to power up.

EP45c-UD3R mobo
Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33mhz
8gb (4x2gb) Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066
EVGA 9800GTX
WD 1TB SATA HD
Samsung DVD SATA
Antec 200 case w/ 2 x 120mm fans
Antec TP550 550w PS

When I plug it in and turn it on the PS and case fans start to run, the phase LED status lights fire up, then the CPU cooler fan starts and the whole thing shuts off.

I've verified that the memory is in correctly, that the CPU is correctly in, that the CPU cooler is properly attached, and I used arctic silver and wiped away the excess.

I'm lost as to what else to try?
Thanks in advance.
Rans

FOLLOWUP:
I found the problem....apparently there is a problem in the power switch, or I had the plug to the mobo on backwards. Does the power plug +/- sensitive?

Is it safe runing 0.200 overvoltage on MCH without fan? making it i guess 1.45v ? how much can i go without a fan blowing on it? And how much can i go with a decent cooling?



Kind regards.

hello there.

i've just buy Team xtreme dark PC8500 CL6. i use P45 DS5 mobo. when i set the FSB strap to 333mhz, my system didn't boot, i set the FSB to 370x11 = 4.07Ghz.

when i set the fsb to 333Mhz and the fsb strap 333Mhz it's still can' boot up.

the memory will just boot when i set the strap to 266Mhz. and it can run at 1110Mhz @2.040v

is this normal ?

Why there is suggestion on this forum ,for x48 chipset to be overvoltage ? In intel specs data sheet ,there is written ,for x48 chipset maximum voltage 1.375...

That is for large amounts of RAM or High speeds. Then you must increase the memory controllers voltage = MCH
