Group,
About 14 months ago I built a computer using the P4C800-E Deluxe. This
computer uses the ich5r to to support a RAID-1 array. In the last month
the following has happened twice.
On boot, the BIOS reports that attempted oveclocking has failed. The
computer is not overclocked.
The BIOS offers the choice of resetting to defaults or to enter BIOS
setup. My son, since it is his computer, selected enter BIOS setup and
then selected exit without saving. This may be a second problem.
The computer then starts XP Pro and XP reports that it has found new
hardware. This hardware is the Promise RAID controller. The BIOS
configuration has changed from enabling RAID support on the ich5r and
disabling the Promise controller to disabling the ich5r RAID and
enabling the Promise.
The system is now using the the formar RAID array as two separate
independent disks. To clean this up I have to reconfigure the BIOS and
rebuild the raid array, an annoyance.
I have run the manufacture's diagnostics on the hard drives (Seagate
120GB 7200.7) and they report no errors. The ich5r is not hot to the
touch and the problem does not appear to be temperature related as it
occurs on a cold start. In operation, asusprobe is not reporting high
temperatures anyway.
Here is the rest of the configuration:
2.8 GHz Intel retail CPU
ATI 9600 Pro
Sony DRU-510A
512 MB Crucial ECC DDR
Thanks,
Don
