hi there, for some reason the intel 6gb (only 6gb sata ports on my mobo) get cranky every now and then. i did a clean build (all new hardware) after getting the dreaded "no disk, control alt delete" on boot. i tried everything until i merely switched both drives to slower 3gb ports. booted PERFECTLY and the system feels rock solid albeit not as fast at using the 6gb ports.

what should i do? i have updated drivers though not sure if there is a better way to make sure i am using the right intel drivers. i have also heard/read that some 6gb ports just don't work for some reason.

should i get a replacement board? anybody have experience with the P67 sata 6gb issues?

thanks!
