291838 2004-11-16 20:50:00 All nForce2 motherboards lock the PCI frequency at 33MHz, but the AGP frequency can be changed. It may have been changed, but i doubt it as it would be causing different problems to what your experiencing.

Perhaps check the PSU's with a multimeter, its highly unlikely but perhaps both PSU's dont have a stable 12v rail.

Have you checked the IDE cable? Even the smallest nick or cut in the cable can cause problems, try a new cable or consider replacing it.

291839 2004-11-16 21:22:00 I have tried 3 IDE cables, 2 new and 1 that I know is good.

Cant check the PSU as I dont have a multimeter.

291840 2004-11-16 22:40:00 I have set the timings correctly and the FSB

I have under clocked and over clocked and set to auto.

Still no go. :(

291841 2004-11-16 22:46:00 Very strange, in an attempt to eliminate the IDE controller from the equation you could try using the IDE RAID controller. It'll require a lil bit of fiddling in the BIOS but shouldn't be overly difficult to boot off the RAID controller. Pete O'Neil (250)
