darkzar99 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I just built a new computer: ASUS P5WD2-E Premium Intel Pentium D 950 3.4GHz 2x CORSAIR XMS2-6400 1GB (2GB total) ATI Radeon X700 Pro PCI-E (i know its not that great) When I first try to boot from the Windows XP Pro CD and install XP, i get all the way to the point where at the bottom it says "Setup is starting windows" Immediately after that i get the BSOD This what it says under "Technical Information:" STOP: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0xf78360bf, 0xf7c82208, 0xf7c81f08) pci.sys - Address f78360bf base at f782f000, DateStamp 3b7d855c Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Snowy© Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Google is my friend... http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-1...lease-help.html Create a xp boot disc slipstreamed with XP SP2 as standard XP does not fully support PCI-e Quote
darkzar99 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 Thanks Snowy©, That doesnt display the BSOD anymore, but if anyone else has this motherboard i have another problem :oops: im not sure you can have 2 standard ide drives with 2 optical drives on this motherboard, currently i have the 2 ide drives plugged into the Marvell EIDE (Red) connector, and the CD_ROM And DVD-Burner on the Blue IDE connector (intel), both set up as master/slave, however BIOS is not picking up either IDE drives? is this normal or do i need to install some drivers? Thanks! Quote
Snowy© Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Google to the rescue! :) Erm 1st point the Mobo manual doesn't say that memory is guaranteed to work 2nd wow talk about a buggy release (just reading about the previous Marvell controller issues - it's Raid but no one can use it lol) How crappy that Blue socket is 'Ultra IDE' and can only do 66/100 no 133 :( - Taken from Mobo manual LOL (erm wait arn't all Optical drives UDMA33? - does not bode well) I'll assume you've set the Master/Slave jumpers 3rd see here: http://www.techsupportforum.com/showthread.php?t=103707 post #8 In the bios Main - IDE Configuration Configure SATA as [standard IDE] Onboard IDE operate mode [Enhanced Mode] Enhanced mode support on [s-ATA] Failing that it might work better if you change: Onboard IDE operate mode [Compatible Mode] Combimed Mode Option [P-ATA Only] Goodluck :) That mobo really does look like you should use SATA only on it the IDE was an after thought :( Quote
darkzar99 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 i dont believe it, i got it to work somehow, i set the enhanced mode support on [p-ata] in the bios and made a driver disk to load when booting from the xp disc and now windows detects both my ide drives :D Quote
Snowy© Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 i dont believe it, i got it to work somehow, i set the enhanced mode support on [p-ata] in the bios and made a driver disk to load when booting from the xp disc and now windows detects both my ide drives :D LoL that is poor for ASUS according to their manual (if I remember correctly) that's not supposed to come up as an option!

darkzar99 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 but now another problem comes up, when i install windows, it cant copy mv614x.sys from the floppy disk so the drivers for the controller never copy Quote
VaKo Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 You sure the mobo is 100%? Sounds like its having an issue to many imho. Quote
darkzar99 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 you see thats what im trying to figure out, actually before when i installed the xp with sp2 slipstreamed it was one that i had fully customized with nlite (nliteos.com) so once i find my xp disc that does not have anything removed by nlite, just an original xp disk with sp2 integrated then i will try that, but if anyone can help me in determining if the motherboard is bad please let me know Quote

Actually it was in the manual on page 4-17 My bad I standcorrected - reason why I omitted it because it seems to read that by doing that you turn off all the SATA ports - but I guess you don't need them at this point. Try installing the driver from HD or CD? Also: http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=200...SLanguage=en-us Seems the latest beta bios might make the board more stable. VaKo - it's 100% rushed product... still unstable from the bits and pieces I've read :( Quote
darkzar99 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 well i checked and the driver was on the floppy that i had it on, but when xp tries to copy it from the floppy it cant find it, how can i make the xp installation (text-only part) load the driver from a cd when it looks for the a: drive?

VaKo Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 DriverPack MassStorage Have you tried slipstreaming this on your XP disc? Quote
darkzar99 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 Ok I purchased 2 SATA 3.0Gb/s drives from newegg today: a 160GB for my C: drive (windows and programs) and a 320GB for my D: drive (data, music, videos, documents, etc. basically everything I dont want erased if i have to reinstall windows/format c: drive) Quote
