A8n-SLI Deluxe

[Tr1gg3r]

I'm experiecing some major problem with this board.

I frequently get lock ups (around every 5-10 minutes), I can't boot again unless i wait around 30 minutes!

Here is my setup:

AMD64 3800+

2x1GB Kingston Value Select

Pioner DVD-RW

2x250GB Seagate (RAID0)

1x160GB Seagate

Geforce 6600 256mb RAM

As a temperary work around I'm now running the SATA drives of the SiL 3114 chip.

That seems to improve the stability but it still locks around every 1h

And this way i can't use the 160GB since the Sil Chip doesn't see it, it only sees the RAID

Extra Info:

Problems started acoring once the Chip fan died, I replaced it and now the temp are around 35°C Idle, in stead of around 37°C Idle.

The fan died around the same time i switch to sata drives.

I think that the NB Chip is getting to hot might be the problem, but 35°C seems okay to me.

35C is fine , thats exactly what im at right now. i hope that u didnt damage anything when the fan died...

are you using the latest chipset drivers from nvidia? version 6.70? if that doesnt work u could try a dual boot and installing windows again on another partition.
