- Gigabyte Z68-UD3H
I have a GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3. I just installed it and got everything working over the weekend. I have it set up to boot off of 2 hard drives through Chameleon (one with Windows 7 and one with Lion OSX). While everything works great, it took a lot of reading before I figured out why I had to change date and time everytime I booted into Windows 7 after coming out of Lion OSX. After going over my Gigabyte user manual for this board, I traced the issue to Gigabyte's dualbios system. I think the system perceives switching from one hard drive to another as a "catastrophic event" (similar to a power failuer). It then automatically switches to the back up bios. The back up bios defaults to a date and time zone that is different that what is in the main bios. Not a big deal...but it was really driving me crazy trying to figure out why it was doing this. Not sure if there is a work-around. As long as you start on Windows 7 and reboot into Windows 7, it will save the time and date. Again, If you wander over to Lion, you will need to reset your time and date.
