Hello Guys,
My system Config is
Core i5 3470 | Gigabyte B75MD3H | Corsair vengeance 1600 Mhz | WD Blue 1TB WD10EZEX | CX430V2 | HD 7750 |Antec one S3 USB 3 cabinet | Dell IN2030 |
I have installed Windows 8 Pro.Recently purchased a new WD My Passport 1 TB drive. I was getting low USB 3 transfer speed of 25-27 MB/s.So I checked with my friend's Samsung NP350V5C-S0BIN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) laptop which also had Windows 8 Pro and it gave 55-60 MBps consistently.
So Defragmented all drives using Diskeeper 12 Pro and did following tests
1.Tried to copy a video file of 4.7 GB into ext hdd but the transfer speed this time has dropped to 24 MB/s.
2.Installed Ubuntu 13.04 on a 40 gb partition and booted it but couldn't access any other drives apart from the drive where its installed.Came to know that its because of windows 8 fastBootup option.So booted windows 8 then restarted system and chose ubuntu in boot menu, this time I could access all the drives except the one in which windows 8 was instaled
Tried to transfer video files of various size(total of 42 Gb with 165 items) and transfer speed is 60-52 MB/s with a consistent speed of 52 Mb/s.
mp3 files of total 4.7 GB gave a transfer speed of 52 MB/s consistently.
Pictures of .jpeg format (2.9 Gb 3821 items) was transferred with a consistent speed of 37 MB/s.
3.Shutdown system.
4.Power up the system and booted Windows 8.Transfer speed is still 24 MB/s.I thought its Windows 8 problem.
5.Restart the system in windows 8 and again chose windows 8 from boot menu.To my surprize Transfer speeds are
52 MB/s for video and mp3 files and 37 MB/s for .jpeg files.
6.Repeated step 3,4,5 many times and got the same result.
CONCLUSION:
Whenever I boot into Windows 8 after a proper shutdown in previous session the transfer speed is 24 MB/s and if I restart the system and boot into Windows 8 transfer speed improves to 60-52 MB/s.
Also I have another problem, If I set the system to turn off the display after sometime(say 5 mins),after 5 mins If I try to get back the display,I get a black screen and nothing else.I tried to get back to older version of display driver but even then the problem exists.This problem doesnt appear if I set the system to sleep after 5 mins i.e., It wakes up from sleep without any problem and I can resume work as usual.
Do I need to update my Bios or reinstalling windows would solve it?plz suggest me.
My current motherboard GA-B75M-D3H Bios version is F12. When I checked in Gigabyte website there are 2 higher versions available F13g and F14.( GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-B75M-D3H (rev. 1.1) )The descripption for F14 says that it Enhances USB device compatibility.
So If I have to update Bios using @Bios utility what are the precautions that needs to be taken?Do I have to Update from F12 to F13g and then update to F14 or can I directly Update from F12 to F14?
Has anyone faced these 2 problems?or has anyone updated the Bios for GA-B75M-D3H mobo?Please guide me in this regard.
Thank You
