Message: [QUOTE="Mark, post: 6326872"] This is a three-part question. 1) Can the FASTTX2K.SYS driver for the on-board Promise 20376 SATA/RAID controller be updated (from 1.00.0.8 to 1.00.1.37). The newer driver, which is WHQL-certified, is listed on ASUS's download site for other AMD/Via boards that use the same Promise controller. I ask because ever since I went to a single SATA drive on my system, Windows XP's Hibernate function causes an instant BSOD referencing the driver and some kind of IRQL stop error. Standby works OK, by the way. 2) If the answer to the first question is Yes, can the update be done simply by "installing" the .INF file without messing up an otherwise working system. In other words, can I do it without reinstalling XP? 3) Are there other possible causes for the Hibernate BSOD? My system is A7V8X with AMP XP1700+, 512MB PC2700 RAM, XP Home w/ SP1, Maxtor 80GB SATA, no IDE hard drives, two opticals on IDE primary, and the usual other stuff. I'm guessing that SP2 won't have any positive effect on this problem. Thanks, and sorry for the long post. Mark [/QUOTE]
