CPDMF Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Do you really think it is a ULI bios problem? There are plenty of boards out there without the issue. If what was said was true it would stand to reason that every board would have the same problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvABuLLetZ Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 I wish I knew. Is it a hard drive type problem? Is it the bios version? I can't see why a few boards bought at the same time would be glitched with the same bug while others are fine.. I think it's a bios version issue. I want to try 5/23/06 as I was told that was the bios that fixes the uli error issue. But first, I'm going to set up my hd's in raid 0 correctly b4 assuming my board is bugged.. Â Edit: Tried an infinite combination of drivers/bioses/settings. None worked, as the same for many people who have been experiencing the same problem. Def. a controller issue.

SiLvABuLLetZ Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Hi Lavelle, thanks so much for that list above of how you went about installing your windows w/ your motherboard and latest drivers. I appreciate it very much. Â So far I've gotten another raptor 36GB to work with the other 1, so hopefully that, and the drivers will fix the freeze bug I've been having. So far i've installed windows flawlessly with no quick freezes as I had before.. So everything's looking bright so far! ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lavell Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 That's very good to hear. I'm glad I was able to help. Let me know how the computer's performance turns out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvABuLLetZ Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 So far so good! Will do further testing with avi's in a few. ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakeUpDead Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Well I have done a week of doing everything everyone said and still Im having problems. Its all working with 2 80gb drives Raid0 but Im getting fast studders in the audio while watching video, any video. The audio every 2-3min will just studder and its very distracting. I can only assume that the Raid is freezing very quickly but it is. Â Well since I know the SIlimage works fine and I have my 2 other 80gb drives Im going to just run 4x80gb on that SIL RAID0. I cant get the ULI to work right and its just a pain to keep trying. 10-11 reinstalls of XP and all my programs and then testing I am done. Â Ok, if 4 drives in Raid0 is twice as fast as 2 then, 4x80gb at [email protected] should be equal to, 2x80gb [email protected]. At least the math makes it so. Ill do that tonight or tomarrow and then time test it to make sure its just as fast, I hope it is. Â Anyhow, thanks to all that have put so much of their time on this and I hope someday, someone will get some type of fix for this.

CPDMF Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Only problem with that is the 3114 is on the PCI bus and not the PCI-E bus so it is limited to 133 MB/Sec theoretically, 120 MB/Sec is about it realistically. 2 drives will just about cover everything the SIL 3114 can carry..

Guest Archangel Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I've also tried just about everything in this thread to get teh ULI controller to work properly with no hiccups, etc with no success. Since I use my machine for doing some paperwork at home sometimes, i've had to switch to the SI controller until there's a universal fix for the problem. I still like this board a lot though and it's ways better than the A8R32-MVP Deluxe I was running before it. Where's all of those great DFI techs that design these amazing motherboards? They should be able to fix the problem and hopefully soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvABuLLetZ Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Have you tried reinstalling windows with the 6.0.0.1 revision F6 drivers? Then install ULI Chipset 2.20 Drivers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Archangel Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 I formatted at least 5 times last night trying many different combinations of drivers. Some worked better than others but sitll, it didn't stop the freezing completely. I do like to game as well so that would be quite annoying playing something online and having my system freeze for a minute or so while I get fragged repeatedly.

CPDMF Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I tried every bios driver combination there is, nothing helped. Only choices are RMA and hope you get one that isn't bugged, Move to SIL 3114 controller or Add in card.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Archangel Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Pretty much the same here and I don't want to RMA it and possibly end up with something worse. Besides, shipping it off means my system is offline until I get a replacement and that would also mean another format. I just really hope they come up with some sort of definite fix for this issue soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
