Please log in for more thread options 2x512 Crucial PC3200 CAS 3 (had to go cheap). Two things. First the memory(both 512MB sticks)fail memtest.Other ram passes.I'm running a single 512 now Second,I cannot install to a sata drive or even acess sata from W2K pro but it works fine with ide.Neither SATA shows up in Windows 2000 and if I run "add new hardware",sometimes the sata will show,sometimes not.If it does show up and I click on it the system will freeze. I reinstalled the Nforce drivers and now Windows won't boot fully from the ide drive.Disconnect the sata drive and it boots to the ide. Two sata drives internittently disappear or are not detected on SATA 3.On SATA 2 they are both recognized consistently.TheWestern Digital 160GB will even pass the WD DOS diagnotics!! And I had the Maxtor running on my previous system. Tried 4 different sata cables,Sata and molex power,different ram,many different bios settings etc. About to lose some hair on this one. I think I've narrowed it to either a bad power supply(Ultra-Xfinity 500W) or bad sata controller on the motherboard. what do you all make of it?Thanks | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options trying to create a RAID array or use the drives as additional storage. Are these drives recognized in the BIOS? You probably don't have the necessary drivers loaded because many times which drivers to load is confusing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Meant to check this last night but I had to set up my back up pc.
I tried uninstalling the old nvidia drivers and installing the latest version.After that I couldn't even boot to my IDE drive. I've never had a worse time setiing up a pc.Seems like everything went bad one right after the other. I'm sending back the new ram and motherboard tomorrow.If they check out I'll look to my power supply. There goes another was on shipping.Doh. > p.j.rudden wrote:
