I have a friend using a gigabyte mobo with a VIA chipset ( cant remember the details ). According to him, it just froze up halfway when using it. When he tried booting again, the mobo gave 1 long beep with the HDD light on continously and then the power light started blinking (HDD light off). Anyone can tell me what this means?

    Here's a link to BIOS post codes:

    I think that Gigabyte use AMI BIOS.

    Good luck :)

    Cheers
