so you want to know what problems i have ? take a good hold of your seat and enjoy the reading http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=29&threadid=1784217&enterthread=y i got tired of trying to fix it. it's going to be replaced soon with another board. if i cant get it fixed this is...

i can now say that it is not the sata2 drivers that were causing the freezing. with out them the system still hangs after loading into windows. it seems like when norton appears in the tray and starts to enable itself this freezing happens. it will not happen on a restart ever or on a a warm...

could this freezing be related to the processor driver? i'm now using my system with no ide drives. no sata2 drivers. just the drivers for the lan and audio. i installed the processor driver too but after a cold boot it frozed, do i thought it was to blame so i uninstalled it. no freezing till...

have you intalled the processor drivers ? i have done it today and after the computer was shut down for 3 hours it froze again. i removed the driver and hope that it was causing the freezing.

My Cdrom is on ide2 controller and it is connected through the ide cable to the master point. in bios when the system starts it is detected as master secondary. i've seached for the jumper settings everywhere but they are not to be found. they are not even on the cdrom sides, so i dont know to...

i can confirm that with the cdrom connected it takes more to start. it takes for the blue line to pass from left to right for like 5 times before the HD actually starts to spin(i see the led starting to flicker). when i intall windows now my cdrom is in PIO mode, i had it in the last system and...

you must be a lucky owner, but as far as i'm concerned this is the first and last product i'll get from asrock

is ther a way i can uninstall the sata2 drivers? i want to get rid of them cause they are the only thing that can cause this much trouble. it'd be great if i don't have to reinstall win all over again. thanks

grooge you are saying that you are using your sata2 HD in the sata2 controller in IDE mode and sata2 controller set to strong ? i don't remember, do you have a PCIE video card ? do you use the onboard LAN or audio ? it is normal to have so many controlers under ide/atapi ? here's the print...

I'm using the sata cable that came with the board. It seems to work fine, I don't think it the one to blame, if that had been the case then we would have had a solution long time ago.

it's not the PSU, it's something driver/bios related. i have almost the same thing with an asrock dual 939. i've tried anything you can name and no result. it just happens randomly.

i'm telling you, this freezing is related to SATA2 in some kind. it's a good thing that you can check it out with no sata2 drives connected. i'm looking forward to seeing the results from what you do.

hi there, i had my first freeze in 5 days with lots of start ups. it happened this morning. when i turned it on i noticed that the cdrom it didn't spin two times as it always did so i expected something bad. it freezed after loading all the desktop icons and before my LAN icon appear in the...

yeah grooge but i had sata enabled before too and it was set to raid because that was the default option. i changed it now to non raid. but I'm telling you that was not causing the problem, because I tried it with both raid and non raid and i would still get the freezing. now after this last win...

I am using SATA2 port and it was a time when I disabled the SATA controller in BIOS and the freezing was still there. Now i have SATA enabled and using NON RAID, because of a reply I got from Asrock support saying that if I don't use raid the system expect two drives and this may as well causing...
