Foxconn Bloodrage-Quantum Force- -X58- -Retail-

[johnegq]

Hey guys, I've been following this discussion along with any others I could find (not many) on the internet in hopes that someone else had my problem or that a fix was available. I was just granted posting access. First question is ... why has the foxconn bloodrage been a "deactivated item" with Newegg TWICE now??? You see, if they deactivate it then no one can leave any reviews. Since I had problems with my board, I think something is fishy about that.

I really wanted to keep this board and get it to work . But I sent it back to Newegg today because i'm running out of RMA time. Since the bloodrage isn't in their system at all anymore, it looks like i'll be getting my money back.

Problem #1, I have to push the "force reset" button EVERYTIME I reboot/power on. Otherwise all fans spin up and nothing shows on the debug lcd.

Problem #2, "I get a CMOS checksum error, restoring to defaults" every time I boot.

Problem #3, "AHCI BIOS not installed!!"

Solution: If I ignore the errors I got it to install Vista after I changed turbo mode from on to off in BIOS. (but still get these errors)
