Hi, I would like a little help determining if this motherboard is bad.
When I first set the server up it would not read from the floppy drive and then the floppy drive started working and the DVD drive stopped working. I then flashed the bios to the newest version and everything seemed to be working. I got the OS installed and after a restart, I now get a degraded array message from the bios. After a restart of the server the OS will boot again. I have gotten this message 3 times now.
Is this a bad motherboard or an incompatibility with my other hardware?
