    Purchased from Amazon and just missed the RMA window, am awaiting RMA from Gigabyte who say it will take 3 or more weeks to repair or replace. MB looks great, but will not boot, no video, no beeps to diagnose probs, just powers the fans, on occasion has shown flash screen and I get into BIOS, then I find it cannot find the hard drives or DVD drive. Then when leaving bios settings, screen goes black again, exception of blue screen of death 2X, otherwise just dead black screen. I have replaced vid cards, drives, and CPU, add in cards, etc. Basically rebuilt system w this board 3x, still no change whatever. This seems to be a pattern with these MB’s….maybe a whole large batch is bad? (online and reviews from other vendors have repeat situations like mine). Don’t know, just be sure to RMA with AMAZON before the short 30 day window expires if you find yourself in this boat. I am sure it would be an excellent board if it just worked. Previous Gigabyte products I have owned have been excellent – just not this one.

    sadly i m from South America and i can’t be sending back this product, the motherboard at first got a veeeery slow booting, it said detecting IDE drives, for like 30 sec, then one more time another 30sec, then it did boot, i had the chance to install the OS restarted and then it didn’t boot ever again, the IDE port was magically burnt, i tried with different ide drives and configuration slave cs mstr, etc etc and nothing, then bought some SATA drives and they booted but as slow as the first time, still working on it, working on the bios, but soo far nothing… even some modifications at the Bios don’t let me get back to the bios, the mobo gets freeze while searching for IDE drives even if the ones i got plugged are sata. i don’t’ even bother asking for refund because just sending the mobo back to US is the same cost as buying a new one. probably a good mobo unless you don’t have as bad luck as i.

    2 days later, i got 2 sata drives, one dvd burner sata, and a 160gb sata HDD, i did turn the IDE/SATA off on the bios, and the mobo finally booted fast and without mayor problems, i will run some tests to see if there is any problem on the reading or writting in both drives, will post soon the results if any of you have this problem feel free to contact me.

    i would rate this item now up to 3 stars the thing is that i cant edit that rate….

    I bought the EP45-UD3P with a 3.0Mhz Intel 8400.

    First it had some sort of startup delay where the fans kick on, then off, then on again. Then it boots up fine. After one month use, it stop booting at all.

    Funny thing is that with a Celeron processor installed in the MB it still boot.

    My Intel 8400 is now working fine in an ASUS MB. Something burned inside the Gigabyte MB, so it still work with a slower processor, but never again with my 3.0 Mghz Intel 8400 (not so fast anyway, but too fast for the EP45-UD3P…).

    Hi, I just bought this locally, I hook up everything…and it is fine…now I am having trouble getting started with the “Startup Screen”…it seems like this screen keep showing up all the time…I tried to install Windows XP PRO…it won’t let me do it…seems like I need to setup something first?

    When I tried to install Win XP, the message says “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD…”….this is where the keyboard is locked up…can’t do anything….so even when it get past that…the message I get is “BOOTMGR is missing, Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart”….press those 3 keys together….doesn’t do anything…..

    I just need help to get past this problem…so I can install my O.S.

    I press F12…to get into “Boot Menu” then my Keyboard won’t work…I can’t scroll down with the arrow keys…I can only use the keyboard in the beginning to choose option DEL (BIOS Setup), F12 (Boot Menu), End (Qflash), F9 (XpressRecovery) etc…

    All my parts are perfect…RAM, CPU, Video card, DVD-ROM

    This motherboard is a beast. Everything is working perfectly now.

    I say “now” because originally I had 2 2gb sticks of RAM that I put into the duel slots (same color). It gave me problems when trying to load my OS but when I installeda different (3rd)stick of RAM and booted and installed my OS, everything worked fine. I then installed the original 2 sticks with the single and all is well.

    So now I have 6 gigs of RAM with no trouble.

    The Users Manual was very helpful with my first time computer building experience.
