so something still doesnt feels right, copying a 1.5gb VOB file of a dvd took 15 minutes.. almost done with a fresh install of windows, so soon enough ill be able to compare... while at that i found something, that might be the actual reason for all those probs. look at the first cable...

yet it took installing Kane and Lynch like 20 minutes... that doesnt look right imho

ack... will need to build a new installation build... anyway i managed to run Crysis for 3 hours on that hd (considering the fact that crysis was the one who shown the problem first, i think its an accomplishment)

tried to boot from the 500gb hd, it didnt even got to loading window part, but it might be that i didnt clone the boot partition properly. will try again tomorrow.

not as i recall, there were nvidia chipset drivers there, but i dont think those include sata drivers. time make a new one? definately :) i made and installed, that one, a year ago :)

id guess... but then why i havve found no mention of similar probs? not that it would hurt to update the bios. nope i used the sp2 ones. hmm well, my xp cd, is actually an nLite custom installation cd that ive made, thrown a lot of uselles junk, preinstalled drivers etc. on technical...

hmm i guess i could try, my bios is from august 2006, the first properly working version of MSI's bios for that board, been running stable since then... i could try though There are no problems when the 500gb one is removed, or if its plugged but not used. ill try that returned the 400w...

Quick scan did not show any errors. Kind of afraid to run a Raid (i dont want to loose all the data, even if i have the most important stuff backuped) The mobo is listed in my system specs MSI K9N Sli Platinum BIOS v1.3 not sure what could it be in the bios... as for partition conflict, i...

I got probably the most unusual problem ive ever encountered. simply put, my brand new 500GB sata2 hdd (now a new replacement of it) during data transfers (large ones usually, small ones are not affected) shuts off. IE nothing happens. i cant close or stop the process. any activity in other...

got a new RAM kit of the same brand from the store, everything works like a charm now :)

older pci card - yes unplugged - yes actually i did try with one stick the first time, that board was indeed defective, as at some point it always froze after or before POST. The new board on bios v1.0 was running stable on one stick with the voltage upped to 2.0v after updating the bios to...

manually flashed to bios ver 1.3, RAM runs stable now on 1.9v (the new default setting) but it seems that the root of the problem was also one of the RAM sticks... it refuses to POST with one of them, and it refuses to post when they are combined, changing their locations made them POST but...

yeah ive seen it, but i wonder why did you use liveupdate? it is a know source of bios flashing problems... (atleast according to the MSI forums :) )

Board was replaced, as it was not working past POST. New board has similiar probs, but i managed (running on one mem stick) to up the mem voltage to 2.0v, ran memtest, was stable no errors no freezing up... thinking of flashing the bios...

Well at the moment the board is back in the store for defectiveness testing... But whats wrong with the power supply ive got? not strong enough? (note its brand new) after all i didnt exprience sudden shutdowns... in fact there were no power probs at all... i was thinking about updating the...
