I know its an old mobo, but its in a spare sys. perfectly OK for internet
and my wifes card games!
Runs fine on Duran 850 but any attempt to run a Duran 1300 results in a cpu
overheat warning/shutdown, despite using correct cooler/fan
Bios F8, drivers updated.
Any clues, guidence?
thanks

According to gigabyte's website the Duron cpu should be FSB 200

Here is a list of compatible CPUs: -

http://uk.giga-byte.com/Motherboard/Support/CPUSupportList/CPUSupportList_GA-7IXE4.htm

I would flash the mobo bios up to the latest version: -

http://uk.giga-byte.com/Download/Download.asp?FileExtName=exe&DownloadPath=/MotherBoard/FileList/BIOS/bios_7ixe4_fad

and try again. I can tell you that when I flashed my old board ( + Duron700)
up to this version and installed XP, I found a recurring error in the event
log about something accessing an address that it shouldn't be or something
like that. The only way around it was to cache the first block of addresses
in the BIOS settings (or something like that). If you get the same problem,
send me an E-mail and I'll try and be a little more specific.

Well I've got around to it and both F9 and Fad bios update return the msg
that the chipset is not supported.
They both appear to be for an Intel chipset, whereas my mobo GA-71XE4 states
that it is an AMD Ironbridge 750 chipset.
I crused the gigabyte web site for the bios update and the same bios
downloads were returned - interesting

Got to go to work now but I will trawl through my PC hard drive and see if I
can find the file I used and forward it on to you. It did come from the
Gigabyte site though so I can't quite understand why you are having
problems.

Theres no Bios protection, I've flashed many times before, on this and other
mobos.
Its not drastically important, I guess I'll just leave it
Thanks
