Solve : Newly Built Computer with XP...How to setup initial INternet Connection??

Answer»

I did try googling the motherboard. Only thing is I don't have vista, and those on that link who had troubles, all had vista. I have XP. The only DRIVER update I found on the gigabyte website was for Lan Driver. THis did not fix my PROBLEM. How do I get the Network Device Driver for this mobo?

I know whatever it is that this is, it must be extremely obvious.

All of the drivers from the gigabyte cd have been installed. There is no obvious driver that says it is for the network device.

Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome.

I am jones'in' to finally get this computer online.

thanks.
-MattEthernet controller Driver perhaps ? ?Isn't that something that should show up with the rest of the drivers on the gigabyte install option page when I insert the Gigabyte Install Disc?

are all the yellow ? CLEANED up in device manager yet...

until they are your asking for trouble...IMO

Nope I still have yellow ?'s on "Mass Storage Controller" under "other devices"

My Ethernet jack on the motherboard still does not function at all, nor is it recognized. i just installed the PCI Ethernet card from my other computer, and it works perfectly.

I guess I will figure this out later, but now I'm intrigued by why I have a "Mass Storage Controller" that is YELLOW ?'d.Still stuck with the same problems. MY internet now works, but only because I installed a new ethernet card. The ethernet on my mobo does not work.

And, how do I get rid of the "Mass Storage Controller" that shows up under Device Manager. with Yellow ?'s by it?

I have nothing plugged into my computer, and I don't know why It keeps telling me to install software for this "Mass Storage Controller"

ANy ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks.
-MattSounds like you may need to RMA the board.
Any other ideas on how to get rid of the Yellow Question Marks?

I really don't want to have to disassemble the entire computer that took me such a long time to build. and then send the mobo back and be without a computer for an extended period of time. Especially since, everything else works great on it, except for the Unidentified "Mass Storage Device" .

What would you guys do, if your computer had been running perfect for a year, and then suddenly you developed this problem of "Mass storage device" showing up with a yellow question mark?

I would conclude, if I had done all of the things that you have done, that maybe the HDD controller chipset on the motherboard may be going flaky.

However... this is what you posted at the start of this thread:

I have been battling off and on all week with my newly built computer,

So you have a warranty, if you were being truthful.

You are being really, really foolish. (I am being polite here!) If you have a substandard new motherboard, return it! Otherwise, later on, if the rest of the board FAILS, you may be without a computer for an even more "extended period of time", until you raise the money to replace your now out of warranty motherboard!
I just can't believe that there is NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE THIS.

If you guys say there is no way, then I believe you, but it's still tough to swallow, that of all the BIOS and troubleshooting, that the only answer is to RMA the motherboard.

It seems like the only problem, is that it is detecting a piece of hardware. There should be a way to make it ignore said hardware, correct?

You obviously know more than I do about this "DIAS" . Just seems like there has to be another solution. WOuldn't the BIOS have show something if it was the HDD on the motherboard?
