    ASRock H87M mATX - RAID issue/setup

    I found this tid bit of information in the UEFI Guide "If you change SATA Mode after install of an operating system you might not be able to boot into OS normally. You should select SATA Mode prior to installing the OS" Does this make any sense? Should I have selected SATA Mode (RAID) in the...

    mATX Build - Feedback and Opinions

    Haven’t built a PC since 2007 (Core 2 duo 6300). Pretty sure I want to go with a mATX form factor as it will be small but large enough to put 5 hard drives into. Would like this to last 6-7 years. Am I overkilling since I won't be gaming much? Thanks for any input! 1) What will you...

    Sorry no heatware. Thanks for responding. I'm doing a new build and really want to go mATX but for a really good deal I would talk myself into ATX. I haven't been here since researching my last build in 2007, why my post count is very low and I just learned what heatware is. Good luck selling...

    HD's are dissapearing? Help

    I set jumpers to master & slave. Up and running all drives showing for 30 min's now. Hope this is the solution. When you say update drivers you are referring to the MB correct? Not sure why, just do not really want to do this. First time for everything I guess. "memtest" I am not familiar...

    HD's are dissapearing? Help

    The drives are on rubber grommets in the cage so there should be no conductive surface currently. I just got back from Circuit City (but no luck with 92mm fans) Will place order shortly on new egg & have to wait. Have not even thought about attempting the RAID configuration yet as I need to...

    HD's are dissapearing? Help

    Update: They disappeared again shortly after I posted this. I am starting to think it may be a motherboard problem. This morning when I powered up they do not show also. May indicate it is not a heat issue. This sucks! OK I powered down and unconnected the IDE cable from the MB. Connected it...
