Just tried it in USB2, but no luck there. with regards to the short button press time, I had it before where prompts would pop up to press the buttons, but now the prompts are no longer there.

I recently completed my first build with everything running fine. However, when installing windows, I set it to install to my SSD. Now, windows automatically downloads to the SSD, instead of my other hard drives. This is especially the case with chrome, and I can find no way to change which...

I recently completed my first build with the motherboard being a Gigabyte Gaming 3 board. I got everything set up and it is all running fine. However, recently, I have not been able to get into the BIOS. It appears that the USB ports only get activated once it's past the time I can get into the...

I know, but does that mean it will still work with ecc ram and not use the ecc feature or will it not work at all?
