FAQ

Below is a collection of general asked questions. To check general asked questions based on a
specific motherboard model, please log on to http://tw.giga-byte.com/faq/faq.htm

Question 1:

 I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS.

Why?

Answer: 

Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys

after entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options.

Questions 2:

 Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down?

Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts
down and that's why the light is still on.

Question 3: 

 Why cannot I use all functions in EasyTune

 4?

Answer:

 The availability of the listed functions in EasyTune

 4 depends on the MB chipset. If the

chipset doesn't support certain functions in EasyTune

 4, these functions will be locked automati-

cally and you will not be able to use them.

Question 4:

 Why do I fail to install RAID and ATA drivers under Win 2000 and XP on boards that

support RAID function after I connect the boot HDD to IDE3 or IDE4 ?

Answer: 

First of all, you need to save some files in the CD-ROM to a floppy disk before installing

drivers. You also need to go through some rather different steps in the installation process. Therefore,
we suggest that you refer to the installation steps in the RAID manual at our website.
(Please download it at http://tw.giga-byte.com/support/user_pdf/raid_manual.pdf)
