raju Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 Dear All: Just so you can sleep easy this weekend I can assure you that we are looking at this issue seriously. The case has been clearly laid out and made to DFI HQ. I suspect a solution to present itself shortly in the form of a BIOS update. Thank you for appearing on the forum with the statement, I for one am pleased that DFI are taking the issue seriously, hopefully should be able to nail a fix soon.

theonlybabyface Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 Funny. I don't have any of the issues that have been described and I'm running RAID 0 on the ULI. However, this array was created on my Asus A8R32 originally and then transferred over to this board when I made the switch. Coincidence???

raju Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 The raid was made on my Asus too, but I still have the issue.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2k Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 How this f**kin' crap BIOS works? :( I've set to something that works fine, so it obviously gets saved, when I go back and check it is indeed in Slot1 then I go and start OCing, it frozes under boot, I restart and - AND DOESN'T ***** BOOT UP. No, it doesn't load back the last bootable settings. So then anybody can tell me WHY TF IS THIS WHOLE SLOT1-2-3-etc crap is there?

bmorgan98 Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 Thanks Bulldog for the update And if your feeling really generous - raise the issue why some people (me being one) cannot run in ACHI mode - and have to run emulated PATA off the ULI controller. Thanks! If you mind me asking, What exactly is AHCI mode? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

learners permit Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 My only advice with this board is to start O/Cin with the proper T ref or you'll waste much time. Has anyone else experienced an inability to set cas latency at a value greater than 2 when using 4 TCCD modules? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goryion Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Ok, I've posted my specs in my sig, hopefully that will help a little. I'm going to admit, before I bought this board this week, I hadn't really heard of DFI, but I read good things about it on Newegg. And I had the money to blow on a topline system, so I went with what appeared to be the best. I'm sure some of my bios settings are less than optimal, I haven't kept up on tech as much as I should, I buy a new computer every 3 years or so, so I get a little lazy. My machine seems to run fine for a while as long as I'm not installing Oblivion Though My CPU fan seems to behaving erraticly (sometimes it doesn't spin up fully, it just sort of twitches) I'm going to shut everything down after I finish this post and switch the fan plug around. In my event viewer after a crash I get "Event ID: 9" "The device, DeviceScsim52881, did not respond within the timeout period." *Edit edit edit* I download the Winflasher but my system appears to be running a pheonix bios, "Onboard Bios not award Bios!" CPU-z shows me running Phoenix Tech, TLD Version 6.00 PG date 03/28/2006 Gor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trabpukcip Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 My machine seems to run fine for a while as long as I'm not installing Oblivion Though My CPU fan seems to behaving erraticly (sometimes it doesn't spin up fully, it just sort of twitches) I'm going to shut everything down after I finish this post and switch the fan plug around. The CPU fan twitching is probably due to the bios, there is a setting there that if the CPU temp is less than 25 degrees C then it will shut off the fan, the machine is probably just cold. As for installing Oblivion, I managed to install it myself, you might be unlucky an the machine just happens to be freezing at the time that you are installing Oblivion. Wait for the machine to freeze, then immediately after install Oblivion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goryion Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 All righty! I installed the latest bios that someone had a link to above. It seems to have solved my issue (Well that and a complete re-install of Windows ) Haven't had a crash yet. Oblivion looks amazing in HDR. Now to start installing the rest of my programs.

simonmaltby Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Update. 1. Changed my raptors to an exact matched pair. WD1500ADFD 2. Rebuilt the Raid array with 64k Stripe this time 3. Imaged my OS's back onto the Drive M5288 issue is still there i'm afraid Also tried the beta bios and i can not get The SIL and ULI controlers to work together - the issue in this respect is exactly the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
