I am not holding my breath, I will be quite surprised if it any different from what it was. I returned the kit (assembled) and it is in the mail now, the distributor says they found a fault and the board has been replaced. I already had twin Internet sockets on the wall so it wasn't all that much of a problem, except the solution violates my sense of how things should be.

I am not even quite certain if it ever worked with XP, but Win 7 was ok! So after several long days of work I decided to surrender and install a NIC on the PCI Express bus. It just isn't possible to get the NIC to accept both systems. I have struggled and struggled, but it was, and probably is, a permanent problem. I thought it would be a good candidate for my preferred setup: Dual boot with Win XP and Win 7. I recdently got a kit consisting of a GA-F2A98XM-HD3 motherboard, AMD CPU and 8GB RAM. Hope I am not disturbing this thread, but since the subject is Gigabyte motherboards: I'm vaguely aware that Win8 has 'apps' that won't run on Win7 systems (I have Win7 myself) but this isn't anything to do with that kind of 'app'. So I thought I'd post up here and share the tip for others.
I'm surprised that I've used Gigabyte motherboards for years and never knew of this - so many useful programs for tweaking the system.
#Gigabyte app center utility how to#
Once I had the App Center installed and figured how to use it I downloaded an app called "Fast Boot" and at one click, while I was in Windows, it let me issue the instruction that on the next system reboot I would automatically go into the BIOS (after clicking the setting it automatically reboots the computer). Wow, if you download the "Gigabyte App Center Utility" from there you are in for a treat - there are some very useful progams available using that center for users of Gigabyte motherboards. No matter what I did the BIOS just would not open up for me.Ĭutting a long story short, I looked for a solution on the web and that lead me to the following website: Over the last couple of days I found that I couldn't get into the BIOS to check some settings. My current computer, just bought, also has a Gigabyte motherboard. Over the last few years I've found that I nearly always end up with computers that are based on Gigabyte motherboards.
