    Vista Home Premium 64 RAID5 Problems

    BIOS is in safe. Haven't tried Vista with a single drive. No OC. Memory test good. Temperatures nominal. I did another couple installs and I got an error for NVRD64.sys and then found a nvidia forum that explains that version 995 of my nForce SATA drivers is bad and I have to upgrade to 998...

    Vista Home Premium 64 RAID5 Problems

    I can't get Windows to shut down and then load again. I've had problems with the BOOTMGR.sys and WINLOAD.exe which is related to the boot manager. I am currently on the 5th install and during windows update, which might be the root of the problem, it asks for a restart and then goes right...

    Install #3: Once I make my selection from the start-up options. I immediately get a BSOD and it crashes. Anyone want to buy a copy of Vista? Has never been activated and only cursed at...once. The disc recovery actually worked this time, however it wiped the registry clean so it might as...

    Now I'm getting the winload.exe is missing from the windows folder. How can I be so lucky as to learn all of the problems of Vista before I learn how to use Vista?

    Well it's in. Raid 5 gives the same as 0, or 66% of the capacity of the drives. I'll start with everything tomorrow since I have to work extra to pay the extra $300 I have in drives. Spoke too soon. BOOTMGR is missing, CTRL+ALT+DEL to Restart. Goodnite. Who's still jealous?

    OFF TOPIC Another example of Mothers of America. Who says portly? I guess if they can't accept the fact that they have a fragile ego and hence must drive something we call 'overkill', an obese person would just suggest to you that he or she is genetically flawed, or it is a thyroid problem.

    I tend to agree with you Rob, and in this case I would hedge my bet that it is the mainboard AGAIN. So this is the second M2N-SLI Deluxe for me. Madmat are you having any better luck with yours (ASUS), what GPU/config are you running as well? I purchased Vista 64 home premium so I'll have...

    It isn't showing any Windows installations, probably because of the RAID. Yup, it's not treating my array as drive 0, it's trying to repair my 750. I can get into safe mode, but I can't tab over to the user or move the mouse cursor. Tried USB and PS/2.

    I've been having major issue with my graphics on my other computer. So like any paying customer I told MSI what the deal was and they told me to try another card to see if it was the card or the mobo. Well my second card, an ATI 2400 crashed as often as my 8600 so off to Asus' website I went...

    Palit GeForce 8600GT Super+1GB

    Aye, I wish I never bought my 8600. I should have spent the little bit extra and got some version of the 8800. But I usually buy one level down in price and this time it's about 10 levels down in performance.

    I don't know what the Intels like to run at, someone will have to post. Find the section in overclocking in the manual and read all about it. Then find a how-to online and read that one as well. Then you will know what I mean about changing it in steps.

    Building a new computer would like some advice

    You should be able to manipulate the external frequency that increases the clock speed of your processor through either a OS based program or in BIOS somewhere. That is how you overclock the processor, if you haven't changed any of this don't worry about it yet. Get all the drivers and...
