20 Most Recent Intel D945GNT Motherboard Questions & Answers

http://majorgeeks.com/DriverMax_d5260.html Win7/Vista/XP Driver Max is a new tool that allows you to download the latest driver updates for your computer. No more searching for rare drivers on discs or on the web or inserting one installation CD after the other. Just create a free account, log in, and start downloading the updates that you need.
You can also export all your current drivers (or just the ones that work ok) to a folder or a compressed file. After reinstalling Windows you will have everything in one place!
Most of the situations when Windows is running slower are caused by faulty driver installations. Windows stores all versions of older drivers just in case you want to go back; sometimes it messes up older versions with more recent ones. The Export Wizard will only export the drivers you select by copying the needed files to a folder or a compressed ZIP file.
After reinstalling Windows all drivers will be back in place in less than 5 minutes - sparing you of searching, inserting disc after disk and losing precious time. The Import Drivers wizard allows you to install all the drivers that you exported earlier. The entire operation might take up to 5-10 minutes.
Just one single computer restart will be required after all drivers are reinstalled!
DriverMax is able to display a complete report of all drivers (versions, release dates) installed on your system. This feature can also be very useful when you want to analyze the differences between the drivers installed on different machines. http://download.cnet.com/slimdrivers-free/3000-18513_4-75279940.html

This board was discontinued in 2008. There is no support for a 64 bit OS. Win 7 might work but with many problems.

put in a new sound card then check mic out if not the mic is bad ok.

Trying to run W7 64 bit with only 1gb of ram will make the system really slow. I suggest you purchase 4gb of PC5300 (667mhz) of ram which will cost about £30. Your system will then fly compared to what it is doing now.

Hello here is the homepage:http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d945gnt/sb/CS-026631.htm The board has four DIMM sockets and support the following memory features:

• 1.8 V (only) DDR2 RAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
• 4 GB maximum total system memory.

Windows xp does not support, more than 3 gb ram in the 32bit version.Please take antistatic precautions, when working on the mainboard.The drivers site is here if needed:http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Desktop+Boards&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+945+Express+Chipset+Family+Boards&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Desktop+Board+D945GNTGood luck

The D945GNT appears to have been discontinued - however, processors are always made to fit a certain standard socket type. In this case, you will be looking for a motherboard that uses socket LGA775 and has a FSB (Front-Side Bus) speed of 533 Mhz in order to use the same processor and RAM.

These motherboards are still available through the internet, although they are getting older and may be harder to find, but any one of them would work properly. My recommendation would be to read as many reviews as possible before deciding on a certain one.

Motherboards that support 533MHz RAM seem to be harder to find these days, but boards with 800 MHz FSB speeds are pretty common, so you might have to buy new RAM sticks to go along with the new motherboard. The good thing is, RAM isn't all that expensive these days. I would advise checking well-known internet retailers to see if you can find a board that suits you.

Hope this is helpful!

Hello you maybe need a driver you can download it here:http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Desktop+Boards&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+945+Express+Chipset+Family+Boards&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Desktop+Board+D945GNTTry the one for the chipset.Maybe the harddrive/or cable has a fault. Does the drive spinning when the power is on ?? Check the bios for the settings for the harddrive(press delete when you boot) http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-020837.htmMore info here:http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/dsktpboards/d945gntGood luck

Restart your computer During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup usually the Delete or F2 key this will vary depending on your computer and operating system Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS using the arrow keys load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart hope this helps

If the PSU power supply units fan is not working the PSU is faulty

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/f/powersupplytest.htm

Test all power and data leads that attach to your hard drive IDE,SATA the leads from your MOTHERBOARD TO YOUR HARD DRIVE make sure they have secure dust free connections and are not faulty or just replace them they could be faulty motherboard and a hard drive any leads between them will fail before your motherboard or your hard drive if its a flat ribbon 40 pin type IDE replace it this will be the first to fail

make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd floppy have secure dust free connections and are not faulty or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs

power and data to travel through every working device and to continue its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error

even something as small as a faulty power lead or fan lead can cause you problems

computers need all of the data and electrical current to travel through every working device and to have an end to be able work properly

make sure ram modules and cmos batteries have dust free secure seatings and cmos battery has charge some motherboards cmos batteries are soldered in

you might not have enough computer ram

not having enough computer ram will run your computer over its limits putting to much strain on the CPU central processing unit and can cause memory dumps

you might have to many programs trying to or accessing the internet at the same time scroll to bottom toolbar (bottom of screen) right click select task manager applications you will see whats running if you see anything you dont need running select end now and you might uninstall that specific program if you or computer does not require it to run and some unnecessary programs that could be jamming up your computer also under processes see what is ticking over in the background again if you see something you dont need to be and users you will see who is using your computer you might need to add more computer ram if you're not sure if a module is right for your system use the Crucial Memory Advisor tool for a list of guaranteed compatible modules. first you will need to select the manufacturer from a drop down list then select your product line from a drop down list then select the model then click find it will take you directly to compatible ram also you will have an option to scan your system you should always ask for a guarantee on the compatibility of the ram before making any purchase

might be getting hot

check you CPU make sure its securely seated and has thermal grease

Open your chassis (cabinet) and look for the bios jumper on the motherboard. It is located near the SATA ports next to the Front Auxiliary Fan connector. Put the jumper in 2-3 to enable maintenance mode. This will allow you to enter bios settings. Then redo any changes that you had made, i.e. reset the memory configuration to auto and save the changes and exit.
Now replace the jumper in 1-2 position. Reboot. And your system will work fine.

if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it

click start control panel administrative tools computer management device manager scroll to sound video and game controllers you might see a yellow question exclamation mark? ! or a red X Right click to reinstall drivers

click start control panel sounds and audio volume advanced speakers make sure you have selected the (appropriate speakers) also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have selected the correct speaker settings there

click start control panel sounds and audio devices select advanced there might be a tick in the mute box untick it

if you dont have a motherboard disk you will have to download the drivers

http://download.cnet.com/2000-20_4.html

on the home page you should see a search tab just type in what you are looking for

IE: motherboard name audio driver you might have to try a few times to get it righthope this helps

Not sure what chip you are using, but your problem is one which I have had and solved by the most extreme heat dissipation methods possible...I even went to the extremity of packaging dry ice in Plastic and using an external fan to literally produce arctic temperatures inside the case.
It did attenuate or reduce the heating problem and the Intel hardware monitors took note of that, but I also notice some degradation in the extent of the graphic presentation of the on screen diagnostic display of temperature, fan speeds, etc.

So, with your new problem, since you apparently responded to the three long beeps by adding a keyboard or other peripheral, and solved it, a full statement of that problem with all specs would be appropriate, unless you can no longer read the display.

You could increase to a 1000Gig's if they made one.A graphics card has it's own graphics processor, and graphics ram memory. It runs independent of the System Resources. The Processor and Ram Memory.Chip and Chipset are slang terms for I.C.Integrated Circuit,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_CircuitThe graphics I.C., or graphics chipset, is a GPU,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPUA GPU can be mounted directly to the motherboard, and use some of the system resources. Integrated graphics.Or it can be mounted to a removable graphics adapter card.IF there IS a 'bottleneck', it will be your Processor, and amount of Ram Memory.Should have at least 2GB of ram memoryIt will take up to 4GB. can also support DDR2 Sdram at 667MegaHertz. (PC2-5300)Intel 945G motherboard chipset. Intel 82945G Northbridge chip, Intel 82801GR Southbridge chip. (ICH7R)Supports Intel Core2 Duo processors, with a Front Side Bus of UP TO 1066MegaHertz. (FSB up to 1066MHz)Intel 945G chipset was brought out in 2005. This means to me, the PCI Express technology used on your motherboard, is PCI Express 1.1I would stick with the graphics cards using PCI Express 2.0 technology. I've read reports where the PCI Express 2.1 cards, weren't 'playing nice' with motherboards using the PCI Express 1.1 technology.Unless you just wanta' experiment? Who knows?How many maximum Watts is the Power Supply, capable of delivering at 80 percent, and how many Amp's does the 12 Volt power rail have? (If there is more than one 12 Volt power rail, you can add together for the total 12 volt Amp's )See what the minimum requirement is for the Power Supply. make sure you have MORE than enough.Also if the graphics card requires an additional power cable; make sure your Power Supply has it.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=555358&CatId=3669But the minimum wattage for the Power Supply is 450 watt.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129203Power Supply? 500 Watt.Regards,joecoolvette
