Soyo 24 inch does not display BIOS.

[Insomniator]

Just tried to get into the bios and the Soyo says signal out of range.. I'm using a DVI cable on the abit KN9 sli board.

Probably no fix for it but anyone else have this problem? Think I'm just gonna plug in an old monitor for now.

Also, the board only has one IDE port and I want to run 2 IDE optical drives an a 160 gig WD for some extra storage. I'm using an old promise fastrak tx2 controller card and made a 1 drive array but vista (on a SATA drive) won't boot. Can you not just use a controller card for extra IDE ports?

thanks

You should be able to use the ide controller card to just add extra ports, but make sure "boot other" or whatever your board uses to denote booting from devices such as this is off.

okay, how many IDE device are you wanting to use?

as for the out of range issue, are you using a video card or onboard video?
