20 Most Recent Gigabyte 7VM400M-RZ (GA-7VM400M-RZ) Motherboard Questions & Answers

hi , can u be specific, do u mean the DVD rom or the DVD software player to run dvd's???let know

Your motherboard is quite old. It could be the RAM slot is simply dirty(use canned air), but if that's the case, the PC doesn't boot. The memory controller could be dying(replace motherboard or upgrade system). There could be other issues but it sounds like your memory itself is fine. You could try reinstalling the BIOS, but because of the age of your computer, you shouldn't spend any money trying to get it fixed. It would probably be cheaper just to get a compatible used motherboard on eBay as replacement. The better long term financial decision would have to be building either a used parts PC (because CPUs have barely gotten better in the last 5 years) or a brand new system. This isn't very much information to draw on, so if you can update your information, I can help more.

Get a good used mo bo on ebay to replace the one you have. Make sure you get the exact replacement and it will go right in and you will not have any hassles with compatibility/driver issues. Lot cheaper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does the computer put anything on the screen? does the computer one beep after self test? what kind of lights or no power at all any errors. windows boot up problems

You should say what version of Windows. The AC97 chipset is so common that it must be supported. Many Windows XP drivers will work for Windows 7. You must unpack the driver files and select it manually from device manager.

first you check sound is mute or not if the complaint is still there then goes to my computer-> properties->device manager-> hardware, if a question mark in the sound driver then u can download it from company site before downloading sound driver you have to verify your laptop model number & model name then then type it in the site(service & maintains section) after download you can instal it in the computer by click RUN-> next-> finish, through this way you can solve the problem

Each motherboard BIOS has a series of beeps meaning different things. If you are getting two long beeps then I recommend looking up in the pdf manual in the FAQ or troubleshooting section of the guide. It could be anything like a heatsink not properly inserted, or the cpu cooler fan is broken or not plugged in, the memory needs reseated, or graphics card is not compatible, etc.

You can find all the jumper information in the Gigabyte 7VM400M-RZ mainboard manual.

Your motherboard supports DDR333 (PC2700) so i would not try 3200 if its not noted on their homepage.

If you where going to use this machine on the internet, windows 98 is not supported any more, and is not secure/safe.
I would advise at the very least windows 2000..
But your drivers are here if you want them.
