I have a NF7-S R2 with a new 2600+ Barton. 2 x 512MB DDR. 1.9 Bios.
1) The HDD LED flashes every other second. I need to know if there is a fix, I don't want my drives getting thrashed like this. Maxtor 80GB on IDE1, master, no slave.
2) At a cold boot, my CPU speed settings are not applied. If I enter the bios, they are set up correctly, but I have to save again if I want it to boot at the correct setting. I think that this may be due to the fact that I have a video card that displays the bios before the motherboard does. Please correct me if I am wrong.
This is really annoying and it has been very hard getting this system working the way I need it to. Very close to ditching the whole system and going with something else. Its killing me.
Thanks.

It is DMA Mode 6, I tried it with the Microsoft and nVidia IDE drivers. It did it on first boot of the reinstall. It really sounds like a hardware thing, BIOS maybe?
