    Help please with WIndows 7 and Bad Axe2 Marvell ...

    Well, pretty much gave up on the Marvell, downgraded from RAID 10 to RAID 5 so that I could fit both my raptor and RAID on the Intel Matrix RAID controller. ...Pretty annoyed Intel's basically stopped supporting a 3 year old motherboard. Will be sticking with Asus from now on.

    Help please with WIndows 7 and Bad Axe2 Marvell ...

    So I installed Windows 7 yesterday, everything went as well as could be expected; had to replace an old NIC but nothing major. Everything is going swimmingly. I go to sleep and wake up to discover my PC in standby mode. And that's when Windows 7 tells me it needs to format my RAID drives...

    Pros/Cons - RAID 1 for OS

    Hi guys, I'm posting for a friend who's itching to assemble his new PC. He told me earlier this evening that he was getting ready to set up a RAID 1 for his OS installation, at which point I told him, "RAID for you OS? ew!" Well, paraphrasing anyway. I know that a RAID 1 will have...

    Coldbooting issues (again!) with d975XBX2

    It was the RAM. Went to Best buy and bought a couple DIMMs of their overpriced PNY crap and system boots right up. Now to order better quality from Newegg at half the price. Can't believe it was the $300 Crucial RAM after all this; afterall, the computer would function fine while not having...

    Coldbooting issues (again!) with d975XBX2

    This is just aggravating the hell out of me... so after I finished the previous reply, I went to check the system's black screen of non-posting doom, only to discover that the BIOS was asking for input on a couple changes that had taken place (battery, RAM). ...well, here's hoping it...

    Coldbooting issues (again!) with d975XBX2

    I had previously upped the voltage to 2.2 volts when I had system operational. Unfortunately, at the moment, it won't even post, so unable to get to BIOS. I wish I could... To top it off, Intel's tech support is closed today for the holiday :(

    Coldbooting issues (again!) with d975XBX2

    Well, tested out the DIMM modules, one at a time. As before, the alarm for 'no memory' goes off while the BIOS jumper is in troubleshooting mode. With the jumper in the normal position, there is simply no post (and no alarm), as before.

    Coldbooting issues (again!) with d975XBX2

    Im getting really sick of this motherboard - it's given me issues from its first day 6 months past. Usually, I'm able to get past these issues one way or another, but this morning I've removed the CMOS battery, moved the BIOS jumper, and hit the reboot button a number of times, all to no...

    Front Panel Doors

    Loathe doors. Love my new CM Stacker101 case - a pc doesn't need doors to look elegant.

    Tuniq Tower Owners

    I personally tightened them until only a couple threads were visible above the motherboard. Been trying to relocate a googled picture demonstrating it but had no luck. Most importantly, tighten them all at the same time and do not get into a position where you need to untighten them - the...

    Help! Flashed BadAxe2 and now doesn't see memory!

    I managed to recover by slipping the battery out of the board for a bit. This really frustrated me - never had a bios flash compltely screw me over like that. For anyone that's interested, found old BIOS updates on the intel site...

    Help! Flashed BadAxe2 and now doesn't see memory!

    Is it possible to flash to an earlier BIOS? The previous version was working fine. I looked at Intel's site but couldn't find any older BIOS files than the latest version.

    Help! Flashed BadAxe2 and now doesn't see memory!

    I decided to flash my badaxe2 motherboard earlier tonight to the latest bios and now my computer isn't booting - giving me 3 beeps, the code for no memory despite my having 2 sticks of ballistix DIMMs installed. I tried removing a stick and still didn't get anywhere. This was all attempted...
