Hi ,
i recently had some freezing and restart problems as my memory timings did not match i used a setting of CL 2,3,3,5,8
@2.70V ...it used to run fine till i got some freezes and restarts ...at the moment it now runs normally with the above timings V @ 2.70 ..turbo mode and OC set to (2.8 @2.850 max) or disabled in bios ...no freezes...basically have tried most possible options..i now dont OC t private because i use the stock heatsink and no cooling whatsoever... i tried a Bios flash through windows...the startup and other utilities show the bios version etc ok as AMI V2.5 ...the bios flash seemed ok and everything else seems to be working fine ..but now my IDE MASTER doesnt work correctly i have 2 DVD RW drives and two hard drives ....when i connect any two of the drives on the SECONDARY IDE in any combination the system boots ok but when i try to connect all four (two dvd/cd's and two HD ) ..the startup feezes after recognizing the secondary and in fact even one CD drive on the primary ..but then the boot sequence freezes..it doesnt show the second drive..and the D-BRACKET LED's freeze at "initializing floppy drive controller" EVERYTIME and the system will not boot...i have tried a reflash..same story...i cannot get the PRIMARY IDE to work.... the boot sequence freezes after detecting any drives on the secondary and one drive on the primary..but if i use all four drives the system wont boot
1. would you say it was the PSU ? i've checked the rails currently reading @
+3.3 min= 3.31 max 3.38 mean 3.35
+5 min= 5.05 max=5.11 mean 5.09
+12 min=11.98 max 12.16 mean 12.08
-12 min=-13.19 max -13.02 mean -13.07
POWERSAFE L&C technology PSU LC-B500E(500W) i'm thinking of getting the 550W one if its available
2. does anyone know if there is any good MSI support available in Mumbai ? i'm not happy with the dealer through whom i bought the board MSI-865PE-NEO2 FSI2R ...its under warranty stilll ,but i have RMA'D it once already ,had to wait for 2 months i think ,almost
3.i'm thinking to switch to AMD ( a little late i know) with a nice dual core and an asus board ...which dealer would give be the best warranty support in Mumbai ? as far as replacements ...and how quick should i expect them to be....Hi ,
