System info: Asus M3N-HT Deluxe Mempipe AMD Phenom 9850 Quad core Crucial DDR2 1066 x2 Geforce 8500 GT PCI-E Multi USB Soundblaster PCI Card 1050w PSU IDE HDD x2 (1 running win xp other storage) SATA HDD x1 (storage) SATA DVD-RW x2 Hi guys, I recently put together the above system and had the power on/off issue with this mobo and AMD 9850 cpu. Fixed this with a CMOS clearance and BIOS flash to 1003. However now, BIOS wont detect either of the IDE HDD I have (so cant get into windows) or the SATA HDD either. It DOES however detect the 2 SATA DVD drives (which I believe are on SATA 1 and 2) I have no experience in setting up a SATA Array if this is the problem. I'm also not sure if the board comes pre-installed with the drivers needed for BIOS to pick up the IDE drives. IF not, how do I load the drivers from the mobo CD? Any help appriciated...
A 1050W power supply for an 8500GT? You could make a lot of money selling that and replacing it with a decent 500W unit. That PC barely uses 200W of power.
