OK so i was playing UT all last night and everything was running perfect. couple hour's not a single hick up. anyway i decide to go to bed. before i go to bed i closed everything but MIRC and started a download. 701mb in .tar format. It was a movie. anyway at that point i shut off my monitor and went to bed. Now i woke up like an hour ago and i look at the front of my case and the green light is blinking its not solid. so i turn on my monitor and its a blue screen that comes up with one line of text that says "C(a bunch of #'s that i didnt write down) unknown errror." anyway im like "ok ive never seen that before lets restart and see what happends? So i restart and i get my bios screen. it goes to detect my serial ATA raid 0 config and cant find either drive. It then gives me a error message
"Hardware initiate failed, Please check device!!!" under that it says
"bios may be not installed" <~~~ exactly as i have it there.
so im about to go through easy flash again and reload my bios. Then i was going to go in and reinstall my SATA drivers. I dont want to reformat cause this same thing happend before. Read below.
this same thing happend before only i dont think i got the error screen and the blinking light. It seemed like it wasnt detecting my drives so i ended up moving them to my old system. When i connected them to my old system And i pulled them up in windows as slave drives i tried to go into them (to get the info i needed from them) and it said "the disk is not formatted would you like to formatt now?" it also said each drive was like 5-8 gigs in size when in reality it should have been like 50-80 gigs each. anyway to make a long story short i reformatted and lost everything. Put them back in my machine and everything was golden. I was a little upset but didnt think it would happen again.
I have norton antivirus 2004 and i have Norton internet security with firewall on. The only thing that was in common was the movie i downloaded. I downloaded it one time, unzipped it and played it. so it was a valid movie. but in the first time it happend i this problem happend like a day later. In this new scenerio its not even unzipped yet and happend over night.
i have an asus a8v deluxe and a 3500+ with a bfg 6800 ultra and corsair 3200 ddr mem and a 520 w power supply. it was overclocked, but to nothing unstable. 225x11 with the agp/pci lock enabled. Its a beta bios 1005.21.
any idea's?
P.S. you can hear a wierd noise coming from the drives. I got it both times. You dont hear the noise when your in windows and everything is fine. Its hard to describe but its almost like a screeching sound. Not hugely noisey, but definately something that should not be there.
