XP RAID0 BSOD Intel QX6850 - $50 for answer!

Cluberti/Zxian How does $25 each sound? It seems like both of your contributions helped out tremendously! IM me with your email addresses and I will pay soon (next paycheck).

If you were curious and for the benefit of anyone who is in the same boat. with nLite, I didn't select the RAID controller.. I only selected the bottom option that said ICH9R (but it was for the ACHI, not the RAID). The one above it said ICH8x/ICH9x RAID... I did both and it seemed to work.

Just to confirm the DVD issue, after I installed windows, I put the SATA dvd drive and got a BSOD after the Windows logo, put the HDs on 1,2 and the DVD on 4 and it worked great... Had to shuffle them around. I wouldn't have gotten this to work w/o you both THANK YOU!!!! :wub:

If I wanted money, I'd be charging for this already :). Keep it and spend it on a night out or something.

I'm not so sure that this is memory related.

Just to illustrate how sometimes the memory is possible in weird cases. I have a friend who has an Intel Q6600 with the ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard and 2 x 1GB Corsair TwinX DDR2. The system would randomly BSOD for no apparent reason until it was discovered that other people with similar combinations of motherboard / memory had similar issues. The fix was to manually set the tRAC memory timing to 22. Goes to show sometimes, anything's possible.

tRAS I presume you are talking about? That’s high, even if you have the timings on 5-5-5 or 6-6-6. I would blame Asus for tight chipset timings...

No - get that feel-good feeling by donating to your local Breast Cancer Support Group. Every little helps.

Thanks

No, I meant what I wrote. tRAC. tRAC is the Row Access Time. tRAS is the Row Active Time. tRAS for that memory is at 12.

The memory is sold as having 5-5-5-12 timings and a command rate of 2T. Unfortunately, they only define the tCL, tRCD, tRP and tRAS. Other timings such as tRAC are not published by the manufacturers.

@binaryjunk - Like cluberti, I'd never do charge for services over a forum like this. I'll do it in person, but that's usually because the people I'm talking to can't tell a molex adaptor from a hole in the ground.
