Intel D875PBZ Problems!!!!

Yeah, My PSU is an Enermax EH451VP (E) that's 1.5 years old. I am still
getting a bunch of intermittent weird errors on XP though.

Tony,

I tried it - but no improvements! Going to change the PSU next days!

That's interesting, because the one in the picture is *faster* than
the Auto settings on the 875PBZ's BIOS. The Auto setting on mine (and
others in the newsgroup) is 2.5-3-3-8. The one in the link is
2-3-3-6. Seems odd that setting is faster would cure booting
problems. Anyway...

GEEZ All I wanted was the fastest hard drive. FWIW I swapped my sound card
and modem (for fax only)in the pci slots and got some more stability.
Removed the pita parallel driver for my USB printer and got some more. My
plans are to boot this sometimes IDE and sometimes SATA, we will see how
that venture goes now.

They are telling tails about raid- ready functions but do not
explain
that this feature is not possible with the current Bios P08 (no RAID
Option ROM feature)! This is not consumer- friendly - not at all!!!!

This one bothers me the most, as right now I'm running in highly
dangerous RAID 0 mode. Granted, I do have backups, but RAID 1 is why
I bought the board.

I have an Antec Truepower 430 (supposedly a top quality unit) , and have
played with the CAS / memory settings to no avail , still have boot
problems. Although I only have 1
hard drive on primary master and NO SATA drives at all.

Well, I still have periodic crashes. I found a bulleting at Kingston saying
if I have the ram I have with this board and have problems use a different
one sheesh At least my dual boot setup works.

I have changed both memory sticks and the PSU - still the same!!!!! I
believe the whole system (specially the Bios) is unstable! No glorious
chapter for Intel!!

Lets hope OEM manufacturers are not using this board hey ! , what a
nightmare it would be...........

Why? There's nothing wrong with it, one of the most solid boards
made. You obviously have something set wrong in the BIOS, a faulty
component (GFX PCI, PSU, RAM, etc.), or at worst a bad board. I've
already posted suggestions to help you fix the problem, if you read
it. If the board is that bad, you won't be interested in BIOS P09
just posted today then...
