IEEE 1394 not working in Windows 7

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:39:58 GMT

Hi,

I recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium on my DG45ID. Everything looks fine, but the IEEE 1394 doesn't seem to work. It doesn't show up in Device Manager, and nothing happens when I plug in a firewire device (DV Camera).

All the newest Intel drivers are installed.

Help is very much appreciated.

DP45SG (6)

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:33:25 GMT

Hi, I wonder if there is anyone who could give some advise on the following case please?

I am an ASUS mobo fan, always used their desktop motherboards, but, well, I decided to try Intel this time, so here is my story:

I recently purchased the following items here in the Netherlands (Europe), all brand new:

- Intel Boxed Intel Core2 Duo Processor E8400 (6M Cache 3.00 GHz 1333 MHz FSB) LGA775

- Samsung HDD/500GB SATAII 16MB 3.5'' 7200rpm

- Intel Motherboards Extreme Series / ATX/ P45 Express Chipset with ICH10R / 4xDDR3@1333 (DP45SG)

- Corsair XMS3 DDR3,1333-4GK

- Samsung DVD RW 22x Black Bulk SATA

- AOpen A600A ATX box Silver/Black with a 350 watt PSU

- Microsoft Win Pro 7 64-bit English 1pk DSP OEI DVD

and used following (used) graphics card: MSI R4350-D256H

- later on: (also brand new, cause I forgot that item), a Linksys wireless-N PCI adapter with dual band model WMP600N-EU

When packing out the boxes, looking at all these great items I found out

a) Intel Corporation added a note in the mobo box stating: "you will need to use a USB diskette drive to install the Intel Matrix Storage raid driver

during the Windows XP installation process" Now, that raised an eyebrow; I spend a lot of money on the best around, SATA HDD's and all, but
Intel steps back 20 years in time?, and wants me to install something, before Windows can install a RAID driver??

Why, sure I need to be in the BIOS, for one, and second: I have no USB diskette drive with USB or SATA connector

But.. I was installing Windows7, so what the hay, I left this out..then

b) the Intel mobo had no PS2 outlet, so I could not connect a mouse and keyboard.

Hence, I could not start up the computer and get in the BIOS menu, like I am used to do. That raised a second eyebrow, I completely overlooked this missing spec. I solved that buying a special USB splitter cable, on which I could connect a PS2 mouse and PS2 keyboard.

So, starting up the desktop, I found the BIOS was ok, DVD ROM was the first boot part. Nothing needed changing, fine by me.

So I inserted the Windows 7 operating system, so far so good. After that, I had not activated Windows right away, cause the wireless card I added

from Linksys (after first installing the Linksys driver), wasn't recognized. After that the computer wouldn't

start anymore. I didn't get anything anymore. Some guy at work advised to remove the CMOS battery for a while, which I did.

Sure enough, I could re-install Windows7. I connected a network cable this time, to activate Windows on-line.

All was well. But then, I decided to download the latest Intel mobo drivers from this website ("Intel recommends that you download...etc.." boy was I dum), I was prompted to restart the computer after installing the latest Intel chipset drivers.

And then, dear readers, the computer went dead, and has stayed dead. I can start the MOBO outside the casing, the fans work, the DVD rom drives starts up, but I see no USB power going to the USB board and mouse, my screen is black, I cannot get into the BIOS. If I connect the DVD rom, and disconnect the HDD, to start to start Windows7 from the DVD, it doesn't work. Makes no difference: the screen remains black, no BIOS, no message, nothing.

The trick with leaving out the CMOS battery or the jumper on the BIOS reset connectors doesn't change anything.

The computer won't start. The DVD rom drive starts, but the Windows DVD doesn't give me a screen, or a BIOS, just the fans are blowing, for the rest... nothing, nothing... Is there anybody that can tell me how I can solve this?

Best Graphics Card for Intel 845gbv motherboard

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:17:25 GMT

HI Guys,

Can anyone suggest me a very good Graphics card to play H256 and Hi def movies on my PC under Rs. 3000.

Currently I have 845GBV mother board and it has only inbuilt graphic memory of 64 MB which is unable to play such vedios. It would be great if the graphics card is compatible with new models too if I plan to upgrade my PC in future(not in next 6 months atleast)

My configuration is as follows:

Mobo: Intel 845GBV

Processor:p4 2gz

Ram: 1.2 GB

Monitor: Samsung 22" LCD

thanks,

Intel desktop control center

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:11:11 GMT

Would someone please post the entire un-install re- install for the Intel desktop control center software (including registry entries) ?

I installed this Intel software for my D975XBX Motherboard from the Intel site.

I have been unable to open the program because it is not responding in Task Mgr.

I have used Add/Remove programs and windows installer cleanup, reboot and re-installed but no response.

It seems that after staying un-used for a while, the icon disappears and I can't recover it.

I have used it successfully last year.

Why isnt this information in support information ?

DP45SG - Problem resuming from sleep mode in Windows 7

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 16:45:14 GMT

I just installed Windows 7 on my DP45SG motherboard, but I'm experiencing a wierd issue when the computer is inactive for 20 minutes and go to sleep mode... When i move the mouse, the PC powers up, but there is no output on the monitor or similar... Pressing the reset button seems to be the solution, the the PC restarts with windows ("Windows resuming....")

I have another PC with the DG965WH motherboard - and on this host (with the same power-settings in windows), I never experienced this problem...

Could it be related to a BIOS setting ?

Regards

D945GCL - Boots only after a few minutes of no activity

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:03:10 GMT

I have a D945GCL in an E-Machines that I purchased 30 months ago from Circuit City (I still have the receipt). I have made no hardware changes in the machine. Lately, I must run the computer for several minutes, then re-start it otherwise it will not POST. The board is within the 3 year period, but Circuit City is gone....

Any help possible?

Windows 7 (32 bit) upgrade on DG33TL

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:54:28 GMT

I have upgraded my DG33TL to Windows 7 32 bit. Everything seems fine, with two exceptions:

1. The audio drivers will not recognize a microphone plugged into the front panel, though the front panel headphone jack does work.

In attempting to address this I updated the chipset drivers, but for the audio sytems the "Intel Driver Update Utility" reports that, "An Intel device was detected but your operating system is not supported by this utility."

2. I have downloaded the latest driver for my Samsung SyncMaster 906 BW monitor and it works fine with I boot from, but if the system wakes from sleep mode, it forgets all about the SyncMaster, loses the optimum resolution settings (1440 x 900) and reverts to a "Generic non-PnP monitor" (1280 x 960). Would installing a pci express video card help, or would I still have the same problem?

Any ideas?

Intel DX58SO -- 3 Beeps?

Core i7 Dominator 6GB DDR3 RAM
1 TB Hard Drive Hitachi

My problem is the monitor isn't working at all and I get the three beeps. I have re-installed the memory (RAM) twice and I still get the three beeps. Any ideas?

The bios update 2006 killed my DX38BT! :( What can I do?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:42:36 GMT

My name is Franciso Quiroz from Nicaragua (Central America). I recently bought this mainboard

and has gave me a lot of issues.

I'm using this board with 4GB of RAM Patriot Viper Series at 1333mhz, but only worked at

1066mhz. I tried to adjust it to work at 1333mhz, but nothing worked. I was using the revision of the bios

1996 I guess, so I updated to 2000.. bad idea, because after the update each time I entered to the bios setup

this just hung up. Well, I was upset, so I just waited for a new revision.

Yesterday I checked the intel site and I found the latest update -2006- so I downloaded and I tried to update it.

(Another bad idea) the process started as usual, windows vista restarted automaticaly, then the bios update process

started, but a task failed

It was this one:

Flashing Image for Recovering [failed]

After this, my pc isn't working anymore, I have no video, no beeps, nothing.

I removed the battery to clean the CMOS, tried switching the jumper to 2-3, nothing. I removed the jumper (In the manual says "Recovery") and didn't work.

What can I do my friends? This mainboard is really expensive and the problems have been so high like the price.

Is there a trick to make it work again?

Thanks for your attention and excuse my grammar, my english isn't so good.

PD. My hardware: E8400 @ 3.0ghz, 4GB DDR3 patriot viper series, bfg9800gtxoc,

DG35EC and windows 7 Slow performance

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:22:28 GMT

I have a dg35ec motherboard with Core 2 Quad 2.66 and 8g memory. I have been trying to install windows 7 upgrade professional. The setup was extremely slow. It took over a day to finish. Once it was finished, login and the performance of the os is so slow that it is useless to use. Open task manager and the cpu is from 25% to 100%. I have updated the bios, try the windows 7 drivers and install from scratch again. No good. I need Help. Does this motherboard support windows 7? I was wondering could i be missing a setting in the bios? I have already spent 4 days in trying to get this to work with windows 7.
