Motherboard Problems

[razor5000]

Hello

I have an Abit KT7 RAID motherboard (Test System) in my sig.
It has both IDE and IDE RAID onboard

The IDE controller was producing disk and acpi errors (in Event Viewer) once I
had installed when in Windows (both XP and 2000).

The hard drives are fine as I tested them with a different motherboard.

I tried to test the RAID IDE controller to see if that helped, but it did not and I
continue to receive errors. I have also tried different drivers but that was not help.

Can anyone think of something else to try, because I am out of ideas.

I really do not want to purchase a new motherboard, because of the old hardware
attached to it RAM and CPU. This computer is ideal to test software and Windows
Updates.

My only option as I see it is to buy a PCI IDE card.

have you tried getting updated drivers for the IDE controller?

I had a KT7A RAID once, it did the same thing when I was overclocking my CPU...

Yep tried updating drivers, but no change

All at stock speeds

Have you tried:
unplugging the system
hitting the power button (to discharge the power supply)
clearing the CMOS - short the jumper for 5 seconds
plugging the system back in

What size are the hard drives? Does the chipset support the hard drive size?

you could also try upgrading or downgrading the BIOS

Most likely the IDE controller on your motherboard is on the fritz. You will probably need to get an add-in controller card or replace the mobo.

Checked all that, 2 hard drives one 30Gb and the other 6Gb.

Please check my sig, the computer in question is called "Test System"

I have not tried messing around with up or downgrading the BIOS.

I think I will have to buy a IDE PCI add-in card

Thanks
