Guys & Gals, Had a quick search but couldn't find anything directly related to a question I have. I've been away from PC Gaming for a while now and as such have not updated my rig in a while. With the advent of BF3 I'm now looking at getting myself playing without doing much in the ways of...

Hi, In my rush to install my new mobo and cpu yesterday I forgot to do one simple but very important thing..... I FORGOT TO BACKUP the files on my RAID 0 set-up!!! DOH!!! It wasn't till everything was back together and I was booting into the BIOS that it twigged!! I've changed from nForce6 to...

Thanks guys. I'm still pulling my hair out over this!! I've tried your suggestions and I've even switched off everything in the BIOS apart from the the controller that is responsible for my RAID but still errors. :( This might be the excuse I'm looking for to buy an i7 and x58 mobo!!

I wish the problem were software / driver related but it's not. The BIOS does not detect the onboard Nvidia RAID controller when the 4870X2 is plugged in but it works perfectly when the 8800GTXs are in SLi. Very frustrating!! I've tried switching off every integrated device down to the...

Works perfectly! :(

It doesn't get anywhere near the os. It fails during initial boot/post, the onboard nvidia sata raid controller doesn't start up and the error appears.

Guys, Wonder if anyone can help me? CPU - E6600 Mobo - Abit IN9MAX Wifi Memory - 4GB OCZ - PC8500 Gfx - Asus Radeon 4870x2 Sound - Asus Xonar D2X PCIe 2x160GB WD HDD in Raid 1 1x500GB WD HDD Enermax Galaxy 850W This system worked perfectly with 2 x 8800GTX cards in SLi but when I...

I've got an Abit IN9 32X-MAX Wi-Fi so according to the manufacturer website I should be OK. Thanks for all the help chaps.

It's not. I don't really have enough time or the patience with the dark art to get things running in a stable fasion.

Hi, I'm just about to buy myself a shiny new 4870X2 card and was wondering if my E6600 would be a bit of a bottleneck for it and should I upgrade this also? I've only got circa £200 to spend on any CPU upgrade and was looking for some friendly advice. Thanks, LEmm.

I had similar problems... CD wasn't being booting in BIOS even though it was selected - I had to go back to an older BIOS version and I also have no floppy on the PC and needed to load SATA / RAID drivers during Windows set-up. The strange thing is that during the initial Windows XP set-up...

have you tried running it with a -x at the end? that's how i managed to extract the nvidia raid drivers from the nforce exe.

Has the VOIP problem been fixed with the latest driver update? I'm thinking of getting one of these bad boys but have held off because I use Vent and TS a lot.

Thanks!! Now i have the joy of fitting the other GTX in and watching the lights dim in the flat when I switch the PC on. :D

Hi, Quick question. I currently have a Enermax Galaxy 850W power supply which happily runs my current PC spec but I'm putting a few new bits and bobs in and was wondering if it will still be up to the job? New spec will be-: Intel C2D E8500 Abit IN9 32X-MAX 4GB Corsair PC2-6400...

yeah, 1st thing i did when i put the x-fi in.

Hi, You've probably heard similar moans and requests for advice before When I play certain games - COD4, CSS, DOD Source, FT2 etc. i get intermittent gameplay i.e.one day i get no crashes and on others i get 2 or 3 sound loop crashes which requires a hard reboot. I mean I can play LOTR...

Hi, Is there much difference between the 8800GTX ACS3 stock card and the KO? I ask because I have the KO version of the card and have been offered a nearly new stock card by a colleague which will allow me to run a SLi set-up - if i can get it to fit in the case. Will there be any problems...

I get the same damn thing in COD4 although I've managed to get the "sound loop" crashes down to one or two per night but it always has the habit of doing it in a CB game!!!!! It first reared its ugly head with steam/hl2 - CSS, DoD and TF2 - so I switched off the onboard sound and got an x-fi...

I take it that the connection between the mobo and the screen is secure? Old IBMs - I realise you have a Tosh - used to a nightmare for loose connections!!! Long shot really but I'm bored shedless at work and thought I'd reply. ;) LEmm
