Sorry I was so panicked I put this in the x79 thread not the z87 thread--

New Topic--I need some help asap. My Maximus VI won't boot in the allotted 300 second timeout for an Areca 1882 raid card as long as drives are connected to most of the ports, this wasn't happening when I was testing the same card on a z87 ASRock board. If I have 2 ssds attached it boots somewhat quickly, and it was booting with drvies attached but took around 120 seconds when it booted on an ASRock in like 45 seconds. About a week ago suddenly it starting taking the entire 500 seconds and would maybe come up just before a restart warning from the controller and other times it goes all the way through the time and the controller forces a restart. I've had Areca problems with other Asus boards what is the bios issue and these raid cards? I tried gen 2, gen 3, auto, connecting one array and connecting all drives---the only thing that I can get to boot right now is just an array of 2 ssds, running Areca 1.51 firmware and previous Asus bios, not 0804. what's my solution? I need these drives up to access my files and mail--help Raj
