KT7-Raid issues

[michaelkahl]

Hey whats going on out there in forum world? Ok, first of all my KT7-R will work fine for a couple of weeks and give me great stability, but then it will take a dump on me. During the boot up I will get funky graphics cutting through my screen??? They look like exclamation points? Plus there are 50 other symptoms, but to much to go into detail. Every time I take it back to the store i purchased it from it works fine and they won't rma the dang thing!!!!
Please help some how?

I dunno, start listing the 50 symtoms. Maybe something will stand out. If this has happened several times what have you done to "fix" it?

When I OC I do 10x100, but I haven't OC'd in about a month. So when this started happening again last week everything was at default speed. One time after installing windows 98se on the via southbridge controllers windows lost my cd-rom drives. It couldn't find the win98se cd, and when I went to browse my cd-roms where missing from the list. The only drives that would show up where A: and C:. The cd-roms would show up in the bios, and I could boot from them, so I decided to reinstall the VIA chipset drivers. When I did I got an "Error Accessing Registry. Please restart." So I restarted over and over yet I couldn't install the new chipset. So then I decided to reinstall windows over top itself. In the middle of the installtion while it was "copying files" it lost the cd again and I restarted and there they where showing up at boot up. So I booted of the cd-rom whiped out my hd and started again. Windows installed, but it was horriibly unstable.

It sounds a little like you might have some component going bad, maybe the IDE controller. Since you just did a clean OS install that reduces the possiblity of having a software problem, there still might be a driver conflict. Check your cables and give us details of what you are doing when it crashes.
