Edit: Nevermind. Was just good ol' CD autoplay. Disabled in registry and the heartbeat has stopped. I think I'm only noticing it because I have SATA CD/DVD drive for the first time and the LED on my other system doesn't register older PATA activity.
Hi All,
I haven't seen this issue on a computer I've built in a long while. And, honestly, it's barely an issue and is more a paranoid concern on my part.
My IDE activity LED has a "heart-beat." As soon as I load into Windows, it starts to flash rhythmically. About once per second. And it never stops.
I've seen this caused by CD drive autorun and other issues long ago. But haven't seen this on any of my recent builds. Looking at my system running side-by-sid in sig. . . it has no heartbeat.
XP 64-bit. PATA ports disabled.
Can another Striker II Extreme owner here confirm that you're getting this too so I can move on to more important things?
