I did a LOT of research before buying my current computer and one thing that sold me was that HP uses ASUS MBs in the model I now have. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html |

| | Re: TOP: C0000218 {Registry File Failure): how to fix it in Vista Ulti gigabyte mailed me a beta version of bios...tried that still no improvement. The last message from gigabyte was basically a goodbye message saying return the board to the supplier if it still doesn't work....guess I'm off to get a asus board instead of wasting my time and money on gigabyte....won't be going back and trying this again in the next few years. -- tommiy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tommiy's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=29417 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=677924 http://forums.techarena.in |

Keeping the fingers > crossed!! reported here and elsewhere as being a good board so let's hope all will continue to be well. I'm still loyal to ASUS but when I considered updating rather than buying a whole new computer, I considered Gigabyte because it seemed a better deal for the money. As it turned out, buying a whole new computer was cheaper than trying to upgrade so I didn't have to make a decision.... -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org |

| | Re: TOP: C0000218 {Registry File Failure): how to fix it in Vista Ulti "seanneko": I'm glad that I found this thread!! It finally confirmed that I am not alone with this problem and that the only solution seems to be to run Vista 64bit with maximum 3GB RAM if you want to run with RAID on the GSATA-ports... My setup is: MB: GA-P35-DQ6 Graphics: MSI 8800GTS320 PSU: Corsair HX 620W RAM: Currently 3 GB of Corsair TWIN2x2048-8500C5D Dominators but I have tested sooooo many different memchips and even in different combinations.. CPU: Intel Q6600 Quad Core with G0 stepping. HDD: 2xWD5000ABYS i RAID 0 on GSATA ports. Case: Antec Ultimate P182B with Noctua NF-S12-1200 fans CPU cooler: Thermalright Ultra-120 extreme with Noctua NF-S12-1200 fan Graphics cooler: Zalman VF1000-LED DVDs: 2xOptiArc AD-7170S on Intel ICH9 SATA ports OP: Vista Ultimate Edition 64 bit I have even got the motherboard replaced, all my different memory chips replaced but still the same problem. As soon as I run on maximum 3GB booting works fine without the BSOD just before the login screen... Has anobody out there yet got a fix for this from either Gigabyte or JMicron? By the way, has anyone yet tried the new driver version 1.17.31.0 dated 10th dec 2007 that can be found at JMICRONs website/ftp at ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/Win2k_xp_Vista/ I think I'm gonna try it during the weekend hoping it doesn't mess my RAID setup totally... I am tired of backing up... restoring and/or doing clean installs now... :-( -- CrazyFin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CrazyFin's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=38830 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=677924 http://forums.techarena.in |

| | Re: TOP: C0000218 {Registry File Failure): how to fix it in Vista Ulti Gigabyte's response was basically that they can't reproduce the problem and I should send the motherboard back to be replaced. I don't think they actually bothered to test it - either that, or they set the computer up, booted it just once and said that it's fine. I gave up with the problem and changed my system drive to a single 74GB Raptor. I still use the RAID1 array as a secondary drive and haven't had any issues yet. As long as your boot drive isn't running off the RAID ports, it seems to be fine. -- seanneko ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanneko's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=38106 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=677924 http://forums.techarena.in |

| | Re: TOP: C0000218 {Registry File Failure): how to fix it in Vista Ulti Ok I will email Gigabyte too and tell them that my MB has been replaced twice and all my memchips replaced twice with no success. I have even tried with other brands but still no success... I will also probably go for the same solution as you and have a separate single boot disk connected to the ICH9 SATA port until (which they probably won't though) Gigabyte fixes the problem... It is ridiculous that they can't reproduce and fix this issue since it is so many people that has the same problem. I have seen at least 10-20 users of Gigabyte MBs here in Sweden that has the same problem and everybody get's it to work when they go down from 4GB to 3GB... -- CrazyFin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CrazyFin's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=38830 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=677924 http://forums.techarena.in |
