Yea, I've always installed windows on the raptor and it has always worked like a charm, it's only the samsung drives that're giving me errors.Quote:

Thanks for all the suggestions btw
EDIT: What I mean when I said that I've tried running with only 1 hdd connected is one of the samsung hdds+the raptor, so really 2 hdds, it's when I have both samsung drives connected that problems occur.
awaiting your report.
my next thing to recommend if both drives are still causing problems is to upgrade the bios...i would go to the official 14 bios next.
I moved the samsung disk from port 2 to 6 and ran some tests, no errors. Then I moved it back from port 6 to 2 and guess what? No errors. Pretty weird.
When I then connected the second samsung drive, the one that started this mess from the beginning, I got errors. I'm guessing that's the problem for some reason, is it possible for a harddrive to be faulty even though the manufacturers diagnostics program shows no errors?
yes...you can have problems but it can also be caused by the bios in conjunction with the hard drive...think about upgrading the bios to the latest release which i think is 14 to see if that is any better....i am using beta bios 16...the link is back about 10-20 pages.Quote:

I`m having some issues with this board and my wireless network-card. If I plug in the card it wont boot properly, it stays at post message 25. This is what the manual says about it:
Early PCI Initialization:
-Enumerate PCI bus number
-Assign memory I/O resource
-Search for a valid VGA device VGA BIOS, and put it into C000:0
Any ideas what to do about it? If I plug the card in after the board has passed 25 everything works fine.
Apart from this I like the board very much and im hitting nice speeds with it.
Max Fsb with Q6600 so far is 500, Spi 32 pass.
Nice chip also, how about 4300Mhz Air cooled? :)

What kind of card is it? USB? PCI?Quote:

Yeah, I already tried all of that, no luck so far.Quote:

I have an abit PCIe NIC that I haven't had any issues with on this board (not the same luck on my old DFI Ultra, however).
It´s a Belkin Pre-N F5D8000
i would boost your ICH 1.05 to 1.09 or 1.12 and also your ICHIO 1.5 to about 1.70 or even higher since you are doing 4300 Mhz...BTW..VERY NICE overclock!:up:Quote:

Install the card and power up and see if it will post now.
The machine isn’t posting because of address/irq conflicts being created by the wifi card that plug and play apparently can’t resolve for what ever reason. As Ace has stated more voltage on the bus may resolve the problem… In Award bioses there is a feature to “Reset Configuration Data” that would generally fix this problem but I don’t find a similar function in this bios…
Good luck with it…
Thanks for the tips guys, tried all of them already but nothing seems to work. have to get myself a new wifi card I guess:(
Ace-A-Rue: Thanks for the kind words:) need a to do some vmods to push this baby higher.

before giving up try the beta 16 bios just to make sure...that is a good bios...it allows changes to the bios without the puter shutting down which is/was an annoyance in my book.;)
here is beta bios 16Quote:

After checking google I found the way to reactivate the UDMA mode :
GO in regedit and look after these key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}�00x
the ?00x is your supposed number for your PIO drive
when you found it , deleted it ( save it first if you want) and reboot, now all should be fine.
My first attempt was wrong drive number but at the second one I got success. I had to reinstall my intel chipset driver by the way.
In my case I have had to deleted the n°0002 , here is a picture of it:

Now, all seems to be fine.
Hope it solve your trouble too.
Hi guys.
2 problems here. (Q6600 and bios-14)
1. abit-guru utility don't show anything at all (latest version). All readings are zeros.
2. Coretemp 0.95.4 read only core 0, and coretemp 0.95 crashes the system.
