Update:
I now have the latest bios for my mobo and i'm still having those HDD detection issues. A few improvements such as cpu-z now gives me all my info including ram ratio and timings.
The detection is still hit-and-miss. I got a hit right now and i'm typing this at a speed of 3.64GHz (260x14).
But...YTF am i having a detection issue with the hard drive. This is insane. I'm getting fed up.
HELP!!!
Also please advise on voltages, whether or not they have any effect on the detection of your hardware (i don't think so but please confirm).
