@RikkochetEven though digg is NOT a tech support forum, it's nice when someone actually responds nicely to someone genuinely asking for help. @mc7winkieGoogle.com is your best friend. You should be able to easily get to a forum that will help you...or even check out the manufactures website and see what you can come up with.@Digg CommunityPlease show everyone that NOT all digg users are asshats or prepubescent ignoramuses and try not to digg this guy down to china. It's not like he picked a random post that had nothing to do with his motherboard...give the guy a little slack and try to understand that not everyone on digg is an expert at computers.
The problem with Gigabyte, is its a Taiwanese company, who haven't hired any native American's to provide English tech support. I have a Gigabyte motherboard, and its excellent, except for one flaw: when it comes out of Standbye mode sometimes, it will not send power to the CPU fan... and therefore without watching for this, you can cook your CPU rather quickly. Sure the alarm continues to sound that the CPU fan isn't spinning, but its not the CPU fans fault, its not getting any power at all. You can come out of Standby right back to the Windows Desktop, and the fan will spin up, then die right back down. Now how in the world am I going to explain this to them, to add a fix into thier bios for this bug, after reading their BIOS upgrade page it is clear no one there will have a clue how to understand my English email. I mean, these instructions below to upgrade all motherboard BIOS are from their main corporate website, Its in horrible Tawi-engrish: a.
Ok, I wrote that too soon. Looks like they do some automated tests as well. But this makes it even more surprising that bad boards are still getting through the testing process.

In method I, if it shows two or more motherboard's model names to be selected, please make sure your motherboard's model name again. Selecting wrong model name will cause the system unbooted.<a class="user" href="http://online--viagra.com">http://online--viagra.com</a>b. In method II, be sure that motherboard's model name in BIOS unzip file are the same as your motherboard's. Otherwise, your system won't boot.

These two ladies doing the motherboard testing in this pic missed a few I think. Just ask everyone who's had to RMA their Conroe motherboards recently. They need to test these boards a little more thoroughly. Seriously. A little more than just seeing if they boot up and don't explode.<a class="user" href="http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages/200502/GigabyteFactory_test2.jpg">http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages/200502/GigabyteFactory_test2.jpg</a>I am NOT saying this is a Gigabyte problem, just with recent Conroe boards in general.
