Gigabyte GA-H61TN / GA-H77TN don´t support Plextor M5M

[Guiekalle]

Hello Community,

I'm having an odd problem with my Gigabyte GA-H61TN mainboard.

When the CPU and RAM is installed, I can power on and get a video signal via HDMI.

However, when I install a Plextor M5M mSATA SSD and power on - nothing - no video signal (black screen while starting).

Installing in BIOS while running, the Plextor M5M is not detected in BIOS. Slot of msata shows always empty...

The whole GIGABYTE TN Series (H61, H77, B75 etc.) have this problem.

Like voices from here:

I don´t want to give it back to online shop.


Thanks. Much regards...

Hi there,
I have a GA-h77TN with a msata Kingstone ssd and i'm having the same issues as you.
Black screen when the msata ssd is plug in.
with a regular ssd no issues.

 I hope someone can solve this.
thanks.

I have the same problem with GA-B75TN and Kingston SMS200S3/60G. Nobody has solution so far, so i must return it.
I made contact to Gigabyte technical support but they didn't respond, i'm waiting 2 days and counting...

I also had issue with H77TN and Crucial M4 120GB mSATA drive. In my case when mSATA was inplace it messed up readings such as temperatures, they always showed 255 C in bios and it lost fan speed control, it was on full speed.
Otherwise the OS booted and HDMI/other ports worked.

Gigabyte was not much help, only sent me a short list of supported mSata drives, largest drive was 64GB i think.

The same mSATA works fine in another full size Gigabyte board.
