Hi,
1st Problem:
I am using the FC bios version of the board. I am currently using Razer Deathadder(Mouse) and Microsoft Sidwewinder x4 (Keyboard).Both of the devices are USB (not PS2). Occasionally, when i start my pc, the mouse and keyboard stop responding. Razer's logo, doesnt glow and the keyboard's backlighting doesnt work(automatically implies that devices arent working). In order to make them work, i have to connect these devices to other ports.
Also, 1/10 times that they dont respond, system hangs up at the Gigabyte Post Logo, with no activity. I have to unplug both the devices and reboot to make things work. My hunch says it has something to do with the power in the usb ports that is still present after switching the power off but keeping UPS power on(Usb 3x charge perhaps).
Anyways, i may be wrong, but this is seriously annoying and very random.
2nd Problem:
I am using WDC black 1 TB Sata 3 drive as my main. WD1002FAEX-00Y9A0.The main problem i am facing is that when i try to setup a 2.5" HDD (Fujitsu 120GB), and boot my pc, the boot sector of the WDC crashes. I get the error " Disk Boot failure " and is irrecoverable. I have confirmed this issue by using a different 2.5" HDD(Seagate Momentus 320GB). My BIOS(version FC) is able to detect all the drives properly.
Motherboard - GA X58A UD3R
All my drivers are up to date.
I am plugging the WDC into the Sata 3 port of the motherboard and the 2.5" drives into Sata 2 ports.
There is no alternate other than to format the WDC and reload the OS back into it.
Also, i tried the same procedure with an IDE drive, and surprisingly no error occured and I could access the drive from the desktop.
Please help me with both these issues, i appreciate it! thanks
