Can someone please help as to why it takes 5 mins to boot when i plug in my printer usb? It takes about 5 mins at post when it says it's detecting USB mass storage device.
Thank in advance,

Thanks alot, much appreciated. I'll try this in a minute and report back.Quote:

all these integrated to the mobo raid implementations are NOT true hardware raid... they all pretty much suck imo. if you want to use raid, go out and get a raid card, like a decent Promise or RocketRaid SATA raid card.. even those rely on the cpu (to do most of the raid parity and interleaving calculations) but they're a HELL of a lot better than these onboard raid solutions.. anyways, my $0.02
Only the EZ port on the right can be used as ICH7 port4. To enable this function, simply remove both EZ Backup jumpers. The drive should be picked up like any other ICH7 connected drive.Quote:

Zalman CNPS7000. It's quite, but I'm definitely not too happy with it.Quote:

Yay! I got it working. One of the SATA cables that followed the mobo is not working right. I swapped it out, and ICH7 found the drive no problem. :woot:Quote:

Thanks a bunch!
I presume that the real cold boots are still there on the P5W-DH ? ( the shutdowns on starting ( and restarting ) and the fan and HDD power downs with the scary clicking when overclocking between 375 and 475 mhz fsb ) ,
damz Asus, FIX THIS chipset strapping trfc / Trc bla thing since this is supposedly your high entry freaking level board ..... !!
AndreYang just told me that cold booting on P5W64 and WS pro is only on re-start ( if you rest the system 1 ~ 5 min the problem is gone ) and that it`s cold booting just fine with OC settings so it can be done.
very unprofessional
good that it's working now, i've tried and both orange ports can be used.Quote:

works for me, boot times are really fast, only 3-5 seconds from post beep to windows splash screen, with 5 sata drives and plenty usb devices attached!
Okay, I got my boot times down to an acceptable speed. Now I need to figure out why the mobo is reading the SPD timings wrong. CPU-Z clearly reads 4-4-4-12, but the mobo sets them at 5-5-5-12. Any ideas? I'm using bios 1407.
The transformation from AMD to Intel has'nt been an easy one so far :P
Oh, and where can I check memory voltages? Doesn't say anywhere!
Im still playin with my retail e6600. So far ive managed 3.6Ghz with my corsair XMS2 6400 Cas4... 400X9 1:1 Ratio..it would be nice if we could have some pics of bios settings also who is using the latest bios 1407?? any good?? i know it allows lower multipliers..Quote:

Thanx in advance

Are you running your ram with SPD timings? If not, could you try setting it to SPD and see what timings the motherboard chooses? I have the same sticks.Quote:

irfs: EPP is just additional timings stored in spare space on the memory modules. I believe the chips are originally specified at 5-5-5-15, but if you have a 590 board and you enable EPP in bios, it'll change timings to 4-4-4-12 on its own. My modules are able to do 4-4-3-10 @ 903MHz orthos stable (large ffts), but not gaming stable. Currently running them at 903MHz @ 4-4-4-12. Haven't really tried finding best possible timings yet as I'm still playing with my 6600.
Thanx for the replies guys!! Do you think having 4gb is limiting the overclock?Quote:

PCie frequency ? 100 or more?
ICH voltage ?
Hyper 3 enable or disable
which is best bios? ive tried 1305 (works well) trying 1407 now
any input would be greatly appreciated...thanx
With 4GB it's supposedly recommended with x64 OS...
This is what im running.Quote:

I get crap OCs with this BIOS. I was able to take my 6400 to 3.6GHz with 450MHz FSB on the 1403, but with this one I can't break 333MHz FSB. I don't understand how Asus could have broken the BIOS so bad...Quote:

Have you tried the 1403 BIOS?Quote:

The WD external drive has Dantz Retrospect backups on it (if that matters). Is my master boot record screwed up? I did recently install Acronis True Image Home, which could have changed my master boot record. I don't even know the file name or location for the master boot record (Win XP Pro).
System boots fine when the external WD drive is powered off (I do not even need to go into BIOS to change anything). No BIOS settings seem to point to external USB drives for booting. Very strange. Any help???
