Well.. the computer is now dead :-) did some attempts with various bioses, 1303, 1302, 1009, decided to flash it back to 1009 from 1303 and the flasher stopped after 20%.... Bye Bye Asus.

Still not working properly since i get CRC Errors in Windows with the added SATA drive... Maybe the cable is borked. System seems to bootup a LOT faster when no IDE drives attached though, so I think i'm gonna scrap the current IDE drive I am using and go for pure SATA. The fun thing is...

The solution was to downgrade from BIOS 1302 Beta to 1009 Official. According to vip.asus.com forums one could also use the 1303 Alpha bios, but I opted for a rollback. What was funny was that any ASUS Update utility after v6.6 would NOT allow me to downgrade from 1302 to 1009. Also, the...

Added information: - Have attempted to use another SATa Cable and the results are the same. - If I disconnect 1 of the SATA drives, the computer successfully posts and detects the remaining hard drives. This seems to indicate that the computer is unable to POST with 6 SATA Drives and 2 IDE...

My problem is the following: When one of my many SATA drives is connected during bootup, the computer will just stop at the HD detection and not progress any further. When this hard-drive is hotplugged while Windows XP is booted, it works ok, until I reboot. Computer specs: ASUS...

Hopefully they will soon release a card that can compete with the 7950GX2's in terms of Performance, Heat and most of all Noise. Probably the best card ever from Nvidia. Hoping for a 8800GX2 at 43db ;)

I got the "remove drive" thing when I ran Nvidium IDE drivers.. (that gave me BSODs..) removed those, removed the "remove drive" messages as well, and I boot superfast :-)

MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI - Have 4 x OCZ Platinum DDR3200 Rev 2.0 512MBs on it

Removed the Nvididium IDE driver and my Bluescreens have disappeared.

I'll have a look right now... I have the Gainward GF 6800 Ultra GS with a huge cooler [WHICH THEY HAD SOME "PACKAGING ISSUES" WITH so they forgot to include a Power Cable.. That they knew about.. which they did not inform their distributers about so they could check it before sending the card to...

Well... installed the motherboard (MSI SLI PLatinum) Installed the video card (Gainward Geforce 6800 Ultra GS) installed 1 x SATA drive.. Installed 2 GB (4 x 512MB OCZ DDR 3200 Platinum Rev 2.0). Connected the PSU (OCZ Powerstream 520W)... Installed Windows XP.. Updated to Service Pack 1 +...

It could seem like they have done some design changes on the K8N Platinum SLI card.. as the BIOS on the card had settings for 2 GB LAN and also more SATA connectors than there were on the card. After 'upgrading' the BIOS the extra GB LAN and SATA connectors were removed. argh... bastards.

Has anyone noticed that the TEST RESULTS for the SLI ROUNDUP of the PLATINUM card specs it as a 6 SATA2 DUAL GB LAN motherboard. Well, the SLI Platinum card I have sitting here right now only has 4 SATA slots and a single LAN card.. Wonder what other parts are missing from it.. performance...

VicodiN: If this is true, could AT do a test on this, and if possible - PRESSURE - MSI to fix this immediately, its unacceptable.

So I've picked this: PAPST 80x80x25mm (19db) Swiftech MCX6400-V To cool my 64but Athlon XP 4000+ Will it be enough? I'm not even sure it will fit in the MSI Neo Platinum SLI motherboard... :-) Time will tell.. I'll be using Arctic Ceramique to grease it down... anyone...
