Various P4P800 Deluxe Problems...
Hi
I have a P4P800 Deluxe 1017 BIOS, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, Firewire card, PATA Maxtor 40Gb Hard Drives, Windows XP SP2 slipstreamed and an Intel 3.06GHz processor. Every so often i hear a knock from the hard drive and i get a hard freeze where Ctrl-Alt-Delete will not work. Sometimes a get various blue screens: Kernel_Data_Inpage_Error Stop 0x0000007A or a BSD stating that Windows has stopped due to hard error. Then the BIOS stops recognizing my hard drive. Due i have a motherboard problem or a hard drive problem or Windows XP SP2 issue? Thanks NBK |

Sounds like your hardrive is starting to FAIL. you better backup just

Due i have a motherboard problem or a hard drive problem or Windows XP SP2 issue? Thanks NBK This is happening to 2 of my drives When you measure the PSU voltages, are they within 5% of their spec value ? It is possible the disk drives could do an internal "restart" if the voltages happen to dip for a moment. It would be more obvious if both drives did it simultaneously. So, it could be a PSU problem. When feeding the ATI9800, there should be one drive power cable that goes only to the ATI9800. You shouldn't power the 9800 and a disk drive with the same cable. The 9800 could cause a voltage drop in the cable. It could also be the IDE interface on the motherboard. To eliminate multiple drive problems, ideally you would want to test the suspect drive alone on the IDE cable. That is to eliminate some interaction between two drives on the same cable. There have been posts here, of people who had interference between devices plugged on the same IDE cable, so you may have to either strip down the configuration a bit, or use a plug-in PCI card as a source of more IDE interfaces, to do some debugging. In short, just about anything could be broken here, but disk drives and power supplies are known bad actors, so suspect them first. On the motherboard, the voltage conversion circuits are under the most stress, while the big chips on the board should be pretty reliable. And, of course, backup with your burner, with verify turned on, so you'll have your info in a safe place. I learned that expensive lesson once, by choosing to turn off a computer with a defective disk drive, telling myself "I can back it up tomorrow". When tomorrow came, the drive died with a spectacular "sproing" from inside the drive (implying the head assembly snagged in the head lock on that model), and all chances to backup were gone.

Due i have a motherboard problem or a hard drive problem or Windows XP SP2 issue? Thanks NBK Do you happen to have the actual release 1017 bios or the beta 1017.04 version? I had the beta version for a long time and i started having the same click issues and lockups for like 20 seconds , then it would unfreeze for a few seconds and then repeat over and over. My F: drive seemed to be the one doing the clanking sound. Also when i would reboot on occasion the drives on the raid connectors would not show up and a full cold boot was required. Basically I finally realized that the beta also had forced all drives to work in UDMA mode 2 instead of the mode 5 that they actually are and this was definately a bios issue. I proceeded to download the actual 1017 from asus and even though it had the same 1017.04 name to it , it was definately the final 1017 release. When it was installed, it fixed the UDMA issue and also the hard drive mysteriously stopped locking up. I am absolutely positive it was the beta bios at fault since i have tested the drive with the powermax utility from here till sunday and there are no errors or SMART errors on any of my drives. Hope this helps. |

Are you sure your drives are not just powering down?

I was changing the processor on my Mboard and seem to have
bent some of the socket connectors. Is it possible to disassemble the socket without removing the zif socket from the mboard? If I could just remove the top sliding assembly... For those of you using the Artic Silver heat sink paste, it sticks really well and care should be exercised when removing the heat sink. I wanted to test a new processor and managed to pull the P4 out of the zif socket when trying to separate the heat sink from the processor. Putting a new processor in, and closing the lever seems to have bent some of the internal connectors. (one of those late night things I shold have waited til morning.) \A/yne |
