Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H ide detection

[Azza]

Occasionally, usually after restarting my PC went get past checking IDE master 1.


The text for it comes up and then there is just one '.' and no more.

I haven't found a fix for this and I don't know what is causing it.  I have 2 hard drives and one optical all plugged into SATA. 


Leaving it for a few hours, unplugged at mains seems to sort it out. 


Any ideas?


Thanks.

What BIOS revision are you running...maybe it could do with an update. What are the settings in the BIOS regarding your drives? Have you checked all the cables?
