Sorry for the delayed response
I did what you asked me to do & everytime it was giving me different sounds "sometimes it was a single continuous long beep & other times it was one long & two short". Sometimes it gave different beeps.
Due to many problems, e.g. when I change the IDE to AHCI the system doesn't boot anymore "There are others also". I am now being given the choice to exchange my current motherboard "Zotac X58 SLI-A-E" with the Foxconn Flamming Blade GTI. Do you advice me to get another Zotac motherboard "same model" or to shift to the foxconn?
The reason I am concered is that the Foxconn Flamming Blade GTI might not be compatible with my Gigabyte GTX470 model GV-N470SO-13I. As I have read on a couple of posts.
I've always been a Gigabyte fanboy when it comes to boards this is the FIRST time I shift to a different brand due to availability & price.
System specs:
Case: Thermaltake Element V
PSU: XFX 850W Black Edition
CPU: Intel I7 950
Rams: Corsair DDR3 3X2GB Triple channel 1600
GPU: Gigabyte GTX470 model GV-N470SO-13I
Storage: SSD OCZ Vertex2 90GB "Booting drive"
Motherboard: Awaiting your advice
Just so you know I really appreciate your support
