GA-M790X-UD4P bios update

[kgoulden]

I have just updated the bios to F10A to use a 1055T and it runs sweetly exept that whem the machine goes to sleep it either reboots ot give a BSOD in Vista Ultimate, The previuos bios version did not do this and sleep mode functioned ok. This is when power managemant is S3. It works ok in S1 but, of course that is not as an efficient power saving state. I want my S3 mode back...can anyone help? Thank you.

The way I see it then is that you have a choice to make, maybe updating your OS to Windows 7 would help( although I would suggest checking on this first) or just using the S1 mode for now until a new BIOS update comes out that will fix the problem. The power saving difference is not going to make a huge impact unless you are running hundreds of computers.

Hi there,

Just to add to what Dark Mantis has said.

Although it doesn't state it on the Gigabyte website, I would suspect the F10A BIOS of being a Beta version (unless Gigabyte have changed the why they identify updates) brought out to allow for the X6 CPU's. Sometimes a newer version of BIOS is in the process of being prepared and, if you send a request to Gigabyte Tech Support they might be able to help: http://ggts.gigabyte.com.tw/tech.asp?ClassID=2&Country=U.K.&SourceWeb=B2C
