new here, so i'll try n do my best.
MB: p4c800-E Deluxe, CPU P4 3.2prescott, OCZ 1gB pc3200, not OC'd (yet)
on my second Mb, first one rma'd no post.
2nd motherboard everything seems to be working fine, but i'd loose my raid(0) after a day or so.
wouldnt be able to read, then wouldnt be able to boot.
am running raid(0) on promise controller. have 3 hitachi 80gb 7200 rpm SATA
1 on the intel, 2 in raid(0) on the promise
i'd have to unplug the raid, to be able to boot, would reformat, redo everything, and lose it again a short time later.
drives indepndantly would format fine, in raid format fine.
drove me crazy so i figured to do away with the raid and try it non-raid
changed the windows driver for the non-raid (fastrack ide)
everything seems to work, untill i rar'd up a 4gb fileset
i had chksum errs, when i transfered over my network.
i tested the rar set on the computer and it came back bad, i sfv'd it, and the sfv had different bad files, (som,e same some different)
i ran memtest 86, but would not load.. something about it having a prescott bug ?
found memtest 86+, ran fine, mem tested fine all tests 100%
windows memory diagnostic(s) ... 100% fail.
now the way i understand it, it wmd tests the memory in a more "windows" type environment (whatever that means)
i tested the sticks in singles. and pairs, in all 4 slots every configuration.
turned out the only way to rid myself of these errors was to disable the promise controller in bios or remove the drives from it.
like i said, 3 hitachi drives (non are used for boot), all 3 are data.
all 3 formated just fine (repeatedly)
am i looking at two different problems here ? or one ? or is there something with the hitachi drives (sata using the marvell chjipset ?)
currently the box was sent back (minus the drives) for another rma, where the tech has reported the memory diag err's but no chksum err's on files. although he is using WD sata hdd's
any hints or clues ?
thank you... now back to reading this awfull long thread...
