Big problems with my computer

[brianod]

The error messages say that the problem is with your IDE hard drive. Are you mixing your system with SATA drive for the boot and IDE drive for applications?

Try disabling the IDE hard drive for a while and see if the problem goes away.

Your error message also says drive 1, which is the second drive usually. Drive 0, is the first drive.

Hi
The only IDE drive I have is my DVD-RW, and I haven´t got any problems burnig DvD's with it.

I have two s-ata drives, and the first is harddrive 1 and my second drive is harddrive 2.
Yes it should be named harddrive 0, I have no clue it isn´t so because the primary drive is in the s-ata 0 connection on the motherboard.

I got a new drive this afternoon, and it had the same problem...BUT...I tried a couple of s-ata cables from an old MSI motherboard that I hadn´t tried...and I have not had the problem yet.
So hopefully, that problem is solved. :P

But it's wierd that 5 different cables including a brand new one and the ones that Gigabyte shipped with the MB didn´t work properly.:surprised

Now it´s the next problem...and that is why some .wmv movies look wierd in media player and mediaplayer classic, it looks okey with hali renderer from CCCP codecpack, but it doesn´t show HD as big as it should then.
The other problem is why Firefox crashes when watching .mov online.

DAMN!!!:scream:
It wasn´t the cable either.

What is the possibility that I get two motherboards of two revisions with the same problem and no one else have that problem?

Can the RAM cause that sort of problem?
Can the PSU cause that sort of problem?
I have a Hiper Type-R modular 580watt PSU, I heard that they have rather varying (<-spelling?) quality.

I don´t have any other DDR2 sticks to test with, and I don´t have another PSU to test with. :hmm:

:sad::cry:

Hi,

could be many things, have a look here:

http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=11&eventno=616&source=Disk&phase=1
http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=5&eventno=2723&source=IdeChnDr&phase=1

Generally, it's very helpful to note the EventID number in such cases and type it into the search engine on that site, then look for the specific error message and the related comments and links.

Also, the first thing I would do at this stage is BACK UP your data before moving on. It might not even be a case of data corruption on the drive, but oftentimes taking countermeasures can unexpectedly result in data loss - i.e. you create other problems by trying to fix the problem at hand.

Cheers,
Yann

Hi
The harddrive is empty right now, I have everything on an external e-sata harddrive.

Which acted wierd one time, chkdsk checked it and found things to fix(?).
But I had copyied alot from my primary harddrive(the one I replaced yesterday), and the computer couldn´t copy a folder in "My Documents", neither could I delete it because it was empty(??).

But I'm gonna try with disable S.M.A.R.T, it seemed to worked for one on the side you linked to.
It's annoying when it's brand new stuff.
The only thing I had in my old computer is my second harddrive, DvD-RW and PSU, the rest is brand new.
My second harddrive should have the harddrive1 designation, but it wasn´t connected when this screengrab was taken.

So my primary harddrive has the designation Harddrive1 instead of Harddrive0.

It seems like my CPU only get 1.1v instead of 1.3v, is that bad?
Maybe my PSU isn´t shuffling out enough juice?

:curious::shrug:

[BoostAbuse]

The CPU only getting 1.1v could be because SpeedStep or C1E is taking effect and cutting the voltage. Unless your PSU is under 500w I don't see the PSU being the bottleneck as the GTS cards run low voltage and unless your CPU is seriously overclocked there's not a lot of voltage going on there. I've never heard of the PSU you're using but 580w should be plenty unless you're trying to juice an SLI config and multiple RAID's.

Try installing some new SATA controller drivers? By the looks of it the errors seem to be coming from the drive controllers. I'm not sure what SATA controllers/drivers the Gigabyte boards ship with but I'd maybe see if you can track down the latest revision and update.

Aside from that the only thing I could put a guess on would be that the drive has gotten banged up and the heads misaligned.

DOOH!!!http://arcadebam.com/games/images/homer-simpson.jpg

It turned out to be something with my external e-sata drive, either the drive itself or the e-sata cable. :banghead:

So I'm gonna use it through the USB instead.

Do I feel stupid or what? :blush:
