Will the bios used to pass Windows 8 logo validation on the DX79SI ever be made available to the general public? See Desktop Boards — Microsoft Windows* Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL/WHCK) information

DX79SR and USB 3.0 Firmware Updates

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 19 May 2013 23:50:42 GMT

I'm sure like most of you, your USB 3.0 ports are not working under Windows 8. When I saw the firmware updates dated 5/9/2013, I thought finally. Well after installing the update I can say they still don't work. I install both updates, front and rear. The front update processes fine...and those ports may work, but I don't have them hooked up. The rear update throws the message Device not found!

Any help to get this working under Windows 8, would be much appreciated.

Regards...

DQ77KB sudden power on failure

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 19 May 2013 13:47:36 GMT

Hi folks,

Has anybody seen an issue with the DQ77KB mainboard suddenly refusing to power up?

This feels like it's going to be a warranty claim type of thing, but I'm still hoping to find a fix that doesn't involve sending the hardware back.

In a nutshell the mainboard has been running fine for a couple of months, I had just powered the machine down and as it runs headless and had moved it to a new location, plugged it into a monitor, keyboard, etc as I wanted to upgrade the bios. A task I had just on another identical machine (they form 2 nodes in my virtualisation lab).

After plugging in said machine and pressing the power button, all I get is a brief spin on the fans (CPU and chassis) and the blue light towards the rear of the motherboard flashes on for about 1 second. Otherwise, no output. I haven't changed anything about the machines hardware since I built it back in early Feb 2013.

Since this, I've tried swapping all the hardware, SSD, CPU, RAM from the other identical working machine and nothing, the issue definitely seems to be mainboard related.

I've also tried disconnecting the power and CMOS battery and leaving it for an hour just to be absolutely sure, nothing.

On a whim I tried the MBEX reset jumper, didn't actually expect that to do it, but clutching at straws right now

Any tips, ideas, gladly appreciated? Anything obvious I've overlooked?

Kind regards, Keith

DZ77BH-55K BIOS ISSUES AGAIN

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 19 May 2013 09:44:58 GMT

I am sick of being dumped on by Intel every time I try to udate the BIOS on for the DZ77BH-55K motherboard.

I decided to update my BIOS to improve the way Visual BIOS performed with a Wireless desktop.

So I updated to Ver. 0099 from 0083 and my PC would not get past post when I booted!!!!

I removed the Digital TV Tuner card and hey it booted. Replaced the card and the PC refushed to boot. In Ver. 0093 there is a fis "Fixed issue where TV Tuner card is not recognised" It's now recgnised and refuses to boot with the card installed - GREAT JOB INTEL!!!!!!!!!!

I went back to Ver. 0083 and it boots with the Digital TV Tuner card in place, no problems.

This board has had more issues than any other I have ever had.

My suggestion is the Intel Engineers responsible for the DZ77BH-55K get their heads together and read the other 1,000,000 posts on and off this site about the board and FIX the issues properly.

DH61BE: Issues with ALL USB ports

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:56:38 GMT

I just built this computer and I installed Windows 7 with no issues. Originally, it had 048 BIOS and I wanted to upgrade to the latest. So I first did the 099 update then the 115 update. Now none of my USB ports work for more than a couple of seconds after the computer boots, including all USB 2.0 and 3.0 and even the front panel USB... This is frustrating as I'm spending too much time on this! I can access the BIOS using a PS/2 keyboard and that's about it, but this board is useless with the USB ports... I've removed one of the two sticks of memory, reset to factory defaults in BIOS and even tried recovery to an earlier BIOS (>099) to no avail. pr

DP76BG network adaptor not working

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 18 May 2013 10:08:35 GMT

Hi,

Yet more grief from this board (over a month now, one thing after another)

Finally got to a stage where I loaded Windows 7 64bit but can't get network connectivity. Installed the LAN driver from the CD provided. I have managed to ping my router a couple of times, but this doesn't last. Windows reports no cable. There is a cable & the cable is OK. Tried another known good cable. Same problem.

Tried with Vector Linux live disk and still no connectivity so not a Windows problem.

Then tried downloading the driver from Intel & still no joy.

It appears that the system is trying to initialise the LAN adapter as the green socket LED lights up for a period then goes out for a period. During this cycle, Windows is trying to do something but can't.

dh 77eb rede lenta demais!

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 18 May 2013 04:46:24 GMT

Caros amigos, montei um mini servidor com a placa DH 77EB + I7 3770 +4Gb ddr3 1333 + HD SATA 500 WESTERN DIGITAL.

Acontece que uso um programa que os outros computadores da rede ao acessar ficam lentos p/ abrir um relatório de vendas, cerca de 1 minuto para exibir na tela.

No próprio computador servidor este relatório abre imediatamente. Fiz testes para ver consumo de memória e desempenho e este programa ao processar o tal relatório não chega a 10% de memória e 2% de processador.

Transformei uma estação que usa um i3 2120 + DH61 CR em servidor e o problema não aconteceu, todos os micros da rede abriram o relatório com rapidez, excluindo neste caso um problema de ser o banco de dados do programa muito pesado.

Ja atualizei o driver da placa de rede e não houve nenhum resultado.

Troquei o cabo da rede e nada aconteceu.

Tirei o windows XP e coloquei o windows seven profissional 32 bits e tbm nada mudou.

Um fato que eu percebi e não sei se tem algo a ver:

Olhando os leds na placa de rede, o verde fica aceso direto e o laranja pisca qd envia dados, na hora que uma estação pede o relatório, o mesmo só abre na tela da estação quando o led laranja pisca, ou seja, algo faz com que a rede do servidor fique "pensando" e depois envia este relatório.

Depois que abre ele pPROBLEMela primeira vez na estação, se fechar e pedir p/ abrir novamente, leva só 4 segundos para abrir novamente.

Todas as pastas "meus documentos" das estação estão no servidor e os documentos abrem imediatamente, só o tal programa que dá este problema!!!

Alguém pode me dar uma luz do que pode estar acontecendo??????

Grato

DX79TO And PCIE 3.0

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 22:11:27 GMT

Hello All,

I am using a DX79TO with an i7 3930k.

I want to purchase a Radeon HD7870XT and that card uses PCIE 3.0.

The box of my DX79TO has an * by the PCIE 3.0 saying it would work with processor that supports PCIE 3.0.

So would the i73930k enable PCIE 3.0 support on this board.

Thanks

DG31GL (Refurb) Issues - 4 beeps

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 21:56:09 GMT

I just picked up an Intel Refurbished DG31GL board off of Newegg to replace a dead MSI board.

With everything installed on the board and when I power up the machine I do not get any video out and during post (I assume it's post) I get 4 short beeps.

I swapped RAM (DDR2 - 800mhz) and even pulled the ram. I get the expected 3 long beeps at that point.

Can anyone give me any suggestions on what the 4 beeps could mean? I do not see any reference to it in the manual.

Thanks!
