Re: SATA Driver problem?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Nothing too usefull there, the only sata/raid setting that this bios have is
how the HDD should be used (RAID, NON-RAID and AHCI)

Currently, my HDD was in NON-RAID operating mode... which is obviously the
simplest operating mode.

Does this mobo have any specific bios settings for the sata/raid
controler?
In particular 'driver cache' settings.
There have been reported problems, usually corruption, when using raid in
certain controllers and driver cache.
The raid bios/utility often has configerable settings.
I'm not conversent with your mobo/sata controler so I'm unsure as to
whether
there would be any specific mobo raid/sata settings.

For one thing, i'm suppose that the ram is an exact pair since it came
from
a Corsair Bundle of 2x512mb suitable for dual channel. I've got the
"packaging" in which the RAM was supposed to be in (I didn't check if the
actual ram modules were the genuine thing that I purchased...) should I?

I only suppose that the RAM modules were put in the same color slots
together since I've never saw a store assembling a PC otherwise...
However,
I didn't check by myself, I'll look at that this evening...

Also, if the powersupply unit 12v 4pin connector was not connected to the
motherboard, would my PC run at all?

Michel,

I assume your PSU's 12v 4pin connector is attached to the mobo and the
Ram
is an exact pair seated firmly together in the blue or black mem slots,
right..?

Check the OEM's online manual and other PDF's too..
Do you have a PDF reader..?

Is it more likely to be a HD Problem, motherboard problem or
software
problem?

I've got a new PC,

Once in a while (about every 5-15 minutes) my system freeze for a
4-5
seconds period...

When I inspect the System Event Log, I got the following entries
everytime
that the problem occur:
The device, \Device\Scsi\m52881, did not respond within the
timeout
period.

followed by that warning:
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a
paging
operation.

It turns out that m52881 is my SATA2 driver... I tried
uninstalling/reinstalling the driver (even tried different
versions)
and
it didn't work.

Heeelpppp!

What should I do?

Here is the detail of the computer:

AMD Athlon XP 62 4200+ Dual Core
1 ghz Ram (Corsair 2x512 mb in dual channel)
ASRock Socket 939SLI32-eSATA2 Motherboard
WD 250gb 16mb Cache 7200rpm HDD (SATA2)
