Tried disabling those settings again with F6E. Same results. Than tried toggling all seemingly unrelated settings in bios, still no solution.

No big deal, I can flick the switch on my power strip instead.

I know that you can do a hard shut down by disconnecting the power but that isn't good to do for a long period as none of the drives will be parked and there will stil be data that hasn't been written back to the drives unless you shut down properly.

The HDDs are spinned down after I engage shutdown so I thinks it's safe. I'm currently troubleshooting my PCI audio interface. Still working to determine whether it's a software of hardware issue. Any known incompatibilities?

Merry christmas Dark and Gloup! :D

As far as I am aware there are no particular audio incompatibilites but sound cards do seem to often cause problems one way or another. I can only suggest removing the audio card and seeing if the problem disappears.

I have just noticed your Green hard drives though. Are you booting from one of them ? If so that could wel be your problem as they are no good as boot drives. They try and power down all the time which leaves the machine in a constant state of being not in touch with it's boot drive. As you can imagine this is a difficult situation for the system. Try using a small Black drive to boot from instead and just use the Greens as data drives.

Happy Christmas to you too.  ;)

Soundcard works fine on a s755 system, doesn't on a fresh install. Must be related to this, from an Intel desktop board specificaton update document:
Quote
PCI cards utilizing a PCI Express to PCI bridge chip will not be recognized or
function when plugged into any PCI slot on the affected Intel Desktop
boards.

I guess you can't get everything in life. Will look for a PCIe or USB soundcard.

Despite the problems I'm holding on to this board. Rather not have to deal with stuff like pointless Bios settings for the sake of marketability like some competitors offer.  ::)

Happy new year, guys! ;)

Happy Christmas!

Where did the posted quote come from ? It sounds interesting but is not something I have come across before.
