According to Intel, the (part) BIOS string RG84510A marks it as a Gateway OEM version of one of 4 possible boards... D845GRG D845GERG2 D845GEBV2 D845GBV There might also be a Gateway part number on the motherboard - probably 7 digits long & beginning with 2. Can you check. Don't worry about the …

Anyone know where I can find the software to change the boot screen logo ? You've already got it as part of the P10 BIOS update linked above by @Horun - this is a function of the iflash app included in the update. What you actually need is something to create a compatible logo file (default name is …

Not sure it would impact the current problem, but is this an OEM board, rather than Intel retail? - the altered assembly number (685012-509) doesn't appear in the last cumulative spec update for the board which might suggest OEM. What it does indicate is that all the xxxxxx-509 series boards are …

Suppose it could be a cpu issue... Version R2.35 - " No longer shows 'B' or 'E' for Katmai/Cuppermine CPU frequency over 600MHz " The fact that it 'works' eventually (are you getting expected full speed / capacity from the Atlas?) still might suggest some odd negotiation problem between the AIC7880 …

Suspect that these parts are common across the Enlight ranges, with only bezel styling changes. If so, here are a few shots of the bay from my EN-7100 mini tower, plus the PDF manual which has an exploded schematic / p/n list at the end (manual says 5208089 but the actual part is stamped 3214134-1) …

Also is possible that the newer BIOS actually dropped some CPU support. There are some topics here on Intel boards where they did remove some cpu support for a few models but added support for other CPU's..... Just not enough room in the BIOS for all the microcodes.... I did try bios 32 (the one …
