Disk and other problems with GA7N400Pro2 rev2
Hi,
I need your help to understand if my 7N400Pro2 rev2 is defective or if i have some software configuration problems: I have three hd, all mounted in removable drawers. One is attached alone to the primary ide controller, the system drive is attached to one of the two ite gigaraid (configured as ATA - no raid) channel (if i attach it to the primary ide winxp won't boot, unless i take it out the drawer, did anyone get the same problem?) and the third hd is attached to the second channel of the ite gigaraid controller. I often get System error in winXP pro event viewer related to disk and iteraid: usually is a sequence of two errors repeating 10 times or mo 1) NOTICE: an error occoured to the device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation. 2) ERROR: the device \Device\Scsi\iteraid1 didn't respond within the expected time, and so on, repeating 1) and 2) for 10 times in 3 minutes or more. I've tried all bios versions, now i'm using bios FH. The ITE gigaraid bios is version 1.41, while the drivers are version 1.4.1.6 I'm using Nvidia nForce 2 ATA controller v2.5. Sometimes i get similar errors even with the cdrom, which is attached to the secondary IDE channel, so the ITE gigaraid is not responsible in this case. I'd like to understand if my board is defective, so that i can get it replaced in warranty, or maybe if it's me that i'm doing something wrong: what are the best driver version for the chipset, the ata controller, and the ITE chip? What kind of tests can i try to point out where the problem is? More, what chipset driver do you use? those on the gigabyte website or the latest nforce driver released from nvidia? The 2 packages differs a lot in MBytes, so i guess they're not exactly the same.. but the GB website is not very good imho, i mean: i can't find a changelog of bioses, and also the drivers release date would be very appreciated, so it would be easier to immediately realize if a new version has come out or not (i can't remember the version number of all drivers from time to time!!) I also would like to know what audio drivers do you use with this board: the realtek drivers or those from nvidia? Since march, when i bought this board, i screwed up a 'new' maxtor 80gb ata133 and my dear ibm ic35l 41gb, which worked perfectly for 2 and1/2 years on another board is having problems like damaged sectors. I changed the Psu, but problems remain. I have 2 256MB TwinMos pc3200 modules in dual channel. The last question all the above happen with no overclock. Since i have a Barton 2500, with blocked moltiplier, i tried to raise the fsb to 400mhz, but my system is not stable, unless i overvolt the vcore a little, but even in this case stability is not very good, so i used no overclock until today, but i'd still like to try: in your big knowledge and experience, what timings would you suggest me to try for my memory modules, at 200fsb? I would be grateful for any suggestion or assistence, and i hope my english is understandable enough TIA! V |
