anyone.....?

Can anyone help with this little(?) problem? I'm running a dual boot system - WinXP Pro & Vista 64 Ultimate (64bit) with XP as the primary system. Dual booting is managed by VistaBoot Pro. Yesterday I'd burnt a "Mandriva Spring 08" disc for use on another system and had rebooted my main...

Stickroad - that is ther oute I took. Raid, then XP (and two partitions). It's just now I come to install Vista that the problem appears. Vista will not recognise the Raid array. From what I've seen elsewhere this is clearly a driver issue. I wanted to post here on good old ocuk furums re the...

I dont think that would work stickroad. Do you not have to set up your raid first and then install the op system? Don't think you can install and then raid. Any ideas about my original query? .....and - pardon the ignorance but x64 = 64bit aye - I can see that but why does x86 = 32bit?

I've a couple of queries for the experts out there re. running a dual boot XP / Vista system in Raid 0. The mobo is a DFI LanParty UT Expert, CPU a dual core AMD 4400 and HD's 2 x 74GB Raptors. Following advice on these forums I elected to use use the nVidea Raid controler rather than the SI...

thanks very much for that rpstewart

anyone?

Cheers mckmcnally - that was just what I wanted!

I posted this on the hard drives forum but had no response. I wondered if any here might be able to help? I've had this board for eighteen months now running a WD SATA 74GB Raptor HD. It had always been my intention of having a go at running RAID (never done it before) and am about to take...

I've had this board for eighteen months now running a WD SATA 74GB Raptor HD. It had always been my intention of having a go at running RAID (never done it before) and am about to take the plunge with a second 74GB Raptor. While downloading all the latest BIOS, drivers etc in preparation I...

Ah - right ok - thanks!

Thanks again for the input guys. It now seems that one stick of ram is defective and the second good. So it's on to ocuk now to see about an RMA.

Thanks for the the replys guys. To answer the last two questions: The power leads are definatly connected to the mobo - and further all the system fans are operative, CPU, case and PSU. I'm not convinced that it's not the ram - but unfortunately we dont have access to any more to change...

I've actually tried that. I tried no RAM initially - simply to see that there was life in the mobo - and make it beep. Added one stick then the other - all ok. It'll work for a while but then fail to boot - presenting me with a rather chilling black screen.

The following system was bought as a bundle from ocuk for my brother over a month ago - built it up and passed it on to him. Had a few niggles during the build and overcame them by reseating the RAM. The problem has reappeard now to the extent that the machine will not boot. Intel Core 2 DUO...

aha - that's interesting. There's maybe nothing wrong with my pc after all.....

Thanks for that Matt. I'd never been to DFI-Street before but a quick look shows that I'm not the only one with this problem. Still haven't found the cause yet - I'll have to look harder!

Seasonic S12 600W Silent ATX2. Passmark runs ok too - comes up with a score of 647 - as I say, at stock. I'd really like to be able to run sisoft though.

hmmm...... that's not what I wanted to hear. Anyone else got any ideas?

Why should sisoft sandra crash my pc? I'm running a DFI lan Party NF4 SLI Dr Expert / AMD 64X2 4400+ / OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC3200 RAM. Only the one graphics card atm a Gigabyte X800XL fanless model. As soon as I try a mem test or one of the combined tests the pc crashes. Note the pc's at...
