ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[Flaming.Goat]

I havent... When i installed windows it was set to IDE mode.. and I cant boot the machine (gets some BSOD while windows logo is up) if I put it into AHCI (didnt want to reinstall windows unless it was necessary)...


Also, while I'm here, you guys get problems with the Firewire controllers ?
The first time I installed windows the firewire was going haywire... I'd boot and it'd detect the controller.... but install it like 40+ times, which in turn would lead to a BSOD (driver stack overload or something of sorts)

I discovered that to fix this problem, I had to disconnect the front firewire cable, boot the machine, delete all the extra controller drivers, and then close the machine, plug the wire back in again... and boot, and everything'd be happy.

Odd thing though, these things only happened after installing any kind of infrared driver in it (once it was the remote that came w/.. the other time was another program, but was still using the same reciever)..

Hope I'm making sence!
