I dont know if its the combination of me having the 2 raptors in Raid 0 on my onboard NF7-S 3112 Silcon controller and having 80 and 200gb drives on a second PCI 3112 Silcone controller.
Ive been enconding video all day on my 80gb drive and my CPU usage has been a solid 100% which is normal, but I can usually play winamp and surf the web while its enconding. Im not able to do that today as my system will all of the sudden hang, the music will keep playing, evntually stop. Nothing responds at all, at one point I went to turn off the pc thinking it had locked up. Then the music started playing again and the system came back to life, with my video still goingjust fine luckly.
Im wondering, if the 2 Silcone 3112 controllers are having a conflict or something as my system seems really stressed. Also this is the first time Ive seen my temps hit 47c on my watercooling!
I posted here because the pci controller is the only thing Ive changed...eerrr added.
Also to note, When I first installed the mercury controller I installed in teh very bottom pci slot. When it was there, the sys would hang after "Verifying DMI pool data......." Would never load windows. So I moved it up one slot and its worked fine, except for the hangs. Should I move it again?
And the bios/firmware on the Mercury controller is a slightly older version than my onboard. So maybe it needs to be updated?
Heh, also I noticed Tribes 2 takes FOREVER to load up off my 200gb....
:edit:
Dont pay attention to the vrails, They ALWAYs read low on this board no matter what I have hooked up to it...With an OHM meter my 12v rail runs about 11.98 soild.
