It's driving me nuts, here's what's happening

I've had 3.2ghz (w/400 fsb) stable for months now, 2 days ago the CPU dropped back to 266mhz (ie. stock fsb)

I enter the BIOS change it back, reboot it, it doesn't fault at all, just boots one time with fsb control disabled everytime

I've dropped the ram back to stock, tried various fsb speeds, just updated the BIOS to F11

nothing works, please help

I fix the black screen!!!

something to do with prefetch (disabled through registry now)

consistent boot times now a little over 40 seconds (much better than 80+ secs)

OK I've put it back to 100mhz

How many volts? @+.05 Now

Should i use more?

CPU stable, Ram in sig, never blue screened

Ram & CPU volts adjusted only

ram@2.1v CPU@1.275

southbridge dont know PCI-e clock is 105mhz

Hi everyone, My computer boots rather slow and it's annoying me increasingly more lately,

I've seen plenty of other vista user have there computer boot in under 30 secs

recently I saw one boot in 17 secs (w/ q6600@3.6, 2xraid 0) vs. my q6600@3.2, 3xraid 0@8.3ms,

i'm experiencing a black screen before the login screen (around 1 minute) but even when this wasn't happening

my fastest boot was 40 seconds (w/single drive)

Can someone please let me know whats going on?

Sorry dude, I don't know where I got it but, it was the full 4 free (not torrent)

I'll send an email if you like with the attachment

I use TuneUp 2008 Give it a try

Really fast in addition it moves the files close together so the next files you save are less likely to fragment

Free software

Syntetic CPU bench marks will be faster with 3.0ghz

But if you do anything else expecially gaming 1600mhz fsb will benefit greatly

Hey mate, I'm fairly sure this is the problem: you haven't loaded any preinstall raid drivers

(Let's the computer access the RAID setup properly)

http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_28653.html --- This will expain how to load the drivers (easier using a USB Key)

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_64_9.64.html ---- The driver download page

The general idea is @ the format area of the install:

1. Place the 780i drivers on a USB key

2. Begin the install as usual, proceed to the format area of the install

3. Click the load button, then navigate to the drivers

When you tried nonraid install did you turn off the raid bios? (change back to IDE)
