About 1/3 of the time my system hangs at the blue strobe in the beginning of the WinXP boot process. Sometimes I have to reboot 2 - 3 times before it catches. It acts like the HDs don't catch. If it goes past three strobe sweeps I know the HDs are off and it won't finish booting. Once it does boot everything is rock solid.
Here are some things I have tried with no joy:
boosting the voltages to the RAM, CPU, and chipset
bios is v1B
reinstalled RAID drivers
ran Microsoft Bootvis (good program for speeding up the boot process by the way)
This is an annoying issue. Any ideas?
My System:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4 Ultra
Seasonic S12-500 S12 Series 500W
AMD Athlon 64 4000+
TWINX2048-3500LLPRO RAM
XFX PV-T70F-UNF7 GeForce 7800 GTX
2 each, Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3160812AS 160GB Serial ATA (RAID 0)
