| 1341911 | 2013-05-19 07:21:00 | Update: Was playing hl2 and just juttered but no buzz. Sometimes there is a buzz - sometimes not. Will try disconnecting the 1TB. |

| 1341912 | 2013-05-19 07:34:00 | Could it be the PSU? It may not be sending out the right voltages. As far as I know temps have been fine. I think it is a Raidmax one :P |

| 1341913 | 2013-05-19 08:23:00 | Nothing I can understand in event viewer either. Just backing up my system at the mo, I'll probably flash the BIOS after that. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1341914 | 2013-05-20 05:14:00 | Flashed the BIOS. Supposed to have been successful. Can't boot into windows 7 though. Loading screen freezes then quickly flashes up a BSOD then restarts. Should I remove the CMOS battery? Any recommendations? | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||

Should I remove the CMOS battery? Any recommendations? Are you using SATA hard drives? It sounds like you probably installed Windows with them in IDE mode. The BIOS update may have changed the default setting to enable AHCI mode. If that is the case, you won't have the AHCI drivers installed, therefore it causes a BSOD. Try turning AHCI mode off in BIOS if it's turned on. |

| 1341916 | 2013-05-20 05:31:00 | Yeah using all SATA drives. I can these 3 modes: AHCI, IDE, RAID. Before I flashed the BIOS it used to flash up a RAID config screen before I booted into windows. So I'm wondering if it was RAID mode... Will give your suggestion a go though. |

| 1341917 | 2013-05-20 06:21:00 | Try RAID then, or whatever you had it on before. It's common to get BSOD issues if you change HDD controller modes after installation. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1341918 | 2013-05-20 22:17:00 | Yeah it'll only take 5 minutes to go through and try all three of them ;) Then, don't forget to update the drivers for your chipset etc... You want to have Windows installed ideally with AHCI, performance is generally better than IDE emulation. |

| 1341919 | 2013-05-21 05:06:00 | Ok Windows is all good now. Thanks. Buzzing still occurs sometimes. But at least I know I can get an Ivy Bridge CPU now. :) Do you think the PSU (Raimax:lol:) could be causing problems? |
ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1341920 | 2013-05-21 05:13:00 | Nope, that's what I'd put at the lower end of the list. Did you upgrade your chipset / SATA drivers then, as well, from the manufacturers website? Have you tried running it with just one HDD at a time? Even just for one evening to see what happens... |
