Latest BIOS version

Problem - Non or Malfunctioning USB

Solution - The Abit KT7 with Award BIOS has a BIOS feature setting "Enhance Chip Performance" .  Setting this option to Enabled solves many USB related problems.  According to the manual this setting which is Disabled by default improves performance by modifying timing on the motherboard's North Bridge.

  • Additional BIOS Settings

    • Plug and Play OS => Disabled
    • IRQ for USB and VGA => Enabled
    • Enhance Chip Performance -> Enabled
    • K7 CLK_CTL => Default
    • P2C/C2P Concurrency => Disabled
    • Delay Transaction => Disabled
    • PCI Master Read Caching => Disabled
    • PCI Master Time-Out => 0
  • Check PCI slot 4 and 6, they use the same IRQ as USB
