I just installed Vista SP1 and when it rebooted I lost the Intel Audio Center and controls. Has anyone else experience the same issue or know if the Intel Audio is compatible with SP1?

... Configure SATA as - IDE S.M.A.R.T. - enable ... I'm curious, why do you have the SATA drive running as IDE? This maxes the speed out at UDMA4 or UDMA5 and disables NCQ ....

I continue to have issues with the PS2 KB recognition problem and slow start ups, if I turn the power off to the system after it shuts down. If I leave power to the board, the startup is normal and the system sees the KB.

In case anyone from IBM ever looks here, I would like to take this opportunity to vent. How come you can't fix the "damn" PS2 issue!! It has been reported for quit a while. You made the decsion to keep the PS2 connectors, how about making them work the way hundreds of other motherboard hav...

Discovered today that turning the system off, but leaving the power on to the PSU results in a normal boot speed. Normally I turn of the computer, monitor, and other items through a power strip. If I reboot in this way, the boot take a long time hanging between the Intel screen and the appearence of...

This is how I have the bios set. I also have the serial port anf paralell ports, and the floppy disabled.

As some may remember I have made several post about the slow load, on a cold start, of the OS on my D975XBX2. I have solved the first part of the problem where the Intel Boot screen would load and the Post codes in the lower right side of the screen took a long time to cyce through. However I am sti...

Ggot it to boot by wiggling the USB connector for the keyboard. It also seemed to boot quicker with the wiggle. Are there any reported issues with bad connections on the rear connector panel?

Once again I hoped to fix problems and I only get more. I have been having slow boot problems on a cold boot. I was hoping the new bios might help. I download and installed the new bios, and they seemed to install OK, the machine restarted after the install, I changed the bios setting to turn off th...

If I am run a home computer (D975XBX2) where the OS is contained on the hard disk. Should the "Boot to LAN" bios setting be enabled or disabled in this condition. As a side note is there a manual which explains what each of the Bios setting is? I must say that ASUS and ABIT do a much bette...

Having just built a new system and installing Vista Ultimate, I would say WAIT. Just about everything I do I have some small issue and have to spend extra time to solve. It gets solved, but with a lot of extra effort. As an example I tried to load Qucken, which was supposed to be compatible. System ...

Ihave seen bits and pieces about this but I wonder if some one could help. My system takes 2m 07s to start to the Vista start load screen. From the time I hit the start button till I see the Intel Boot screen is 12 secs. It then sits on the Intel screen with an EB code in the lower right side for 1m...

Does anyone know if this fixes the PS2 keyboard recognition on boot?

System is the D975XBX2 MB, QX6700 CPU, 2X1 GB Corsair DDR2 memory, 500GB SATA2 HD, BFG 8800GTX Video card, Lite On DVD/CD, and a floppy drive. I'm running with USB and Firewire enabled. Serial and parallel ports disabled, legacy USB disabled. As I said the first boot is slow, but if I restart it run...

Yes the legacy USB is disabled.

I was thinking I am running a quad core QX6700. Would the bios sense the number of cores and would that slow done the boot process?

As previously reported this update did not fix the PS2 Keyboard detect issue. Also I have a long first boot issue which is still there. When I first start from an off condition, I get the Intel screen quickly, then the screen goes black and stays that way for ~45 seconds, then the small post codes s...

Just to close the question, I used iexpress update with the 32 bit version of Vista and it worked.

Thanks all for info.

Can anyone confirm that the express update for the bios will work with the VISTA OS?

Can anyone direct me to a list of the the bios codes that are shown in the lower righthand side of the screen when the machine is booting.

Has anyone confirmed the an USB connected keyboard makes the problem go away. If that's a workaround I may just buy one, although you would think intel would make it work, they have for years.
