Hello?
Does dpms 11.08 work? Any of the nvidia test packs work?
@rafaelr, we can't fix anything unless you report back...

TechDud,

I followed your steps and here is the information requested:

MediaShield ROM BIOS 6.98

And in the RAID utility:

I was just asking about the RAID BIOS version out of curiosity's sake. You would need to enable RAID in the BIOS, then use the F10 key to enter the RAID utility. Note the version, restart & disable RAID in the main BIOS. The specific key might vary.

For a family member's nForce4 SLI (Ultra mod) mobo, i had to mod his bios to add utility v5.60 (???) in order for it to work properly. Obviously this is beyond the scope of this forum... like i said, just asking for my own personal reference.

Remember, take great care IF you decide to update your BIOS, failed updates can 'brick' your hardware. Over the last 10 years i have only had one bad flash that i could not immediately recover from & that was about 10 years ago, yet i am able to 'hotflash', or use the 'SPI' interface (PCI video for boot when video card(s) don't flash properly - damn windows flashers), you might not have such capabilities. I tend to go by the theory, "leave yourself a way to undo changes made to a system, so that system changes are not necessarily PERMANENT".

A BIOS update will not likely solve the specific issue you have been facing, yet there may be bug/performance issues addressed, extended processor support (do AMD CPU's use microcode updates?), optional BIOS (RAID, network, video, etc.) updates, newer thermal-control algorithms, extended memory compatibility (sometimes downgrading throughput slightly), ACPI updates, etc, etc, etc.

Consider this only if you are confident (& experienced) with BIOS flashing. I usually look for a BIOS update ISO, or to use *safe-mode* DOS flashers from a small DOS HDD - avoid using floppy drives (unless you are able to double-check with CRC or MD5 values on BOTH flooppy-drives). I tend to only use Windows flashers as a last resort.

Haste makes e-waste!

@rafaelr, do you have time to test our nvidia test DriverPacks?

TechDud, sorry for my "delay"...

As to your question, to be honest, I do not know if I'm using the latest version of the BIOS (probably not), but tonight when I get home I check it and inform!

And the RAID utility, where I check it? In the BIOS setup? frankly confess that I have no idea...

No response to my questions?

are you using the latest bios updates for this mobo? (*CAUTION* - improperly installed BIOS updates can 'brick' your motherboard!) What version of RAID utility is included with your mobo? (sorry, i see you are using non-RAID implementation)
Hmm.. non-AHCI HW... i see that you haven't noted the version (& folder) of driver used in 11.01 & 11.04.

I stand by what i said earlier...

SATA drivers greater than v9.9x most likely will not work (without bluescreening) with anything less than MCP65 chipsets.

I have had great success with 'Fernando's' driver packs (i wouldn't dare ask them to be included in DP, unless 'Fernando' explicitly, undeniably, approved FIRST)
Thank you, Fernando, for making my life easier with nVidia's HW!
See his posts --> http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/off-nfo … 73054.html
http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/xp-opti … 70968.html
If i'm wrong, it would be helpful to know. As a matter of fact, it would likely be helpful to 'Fernando' to know too (it would benefit the greater 'community').
Thank you, DriverPacks, too.

Yup, nvidia sucks!
Hmmm, I'll try to think of something.

Erik,

Nothing yet!

The problem persists... The same blue screen of death at the same point...

15.58 is out also for Win7 (hidden under nforce6), no major changes
Boo.

is nForce 15.57 not available now? Ah.. 64bit only. Hmm. http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/n … l-whql.exe

I see that on nVidia's driver page that the 'Legacy/nForce410' XP drivers direct me to 'drivers v15.26' including SATAide driver v10.3.0.46, yet when i look at the 'supported products' tab, the nForce 6 series is the earliest product supported.

v15.56 was re-released May2, 2011. http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/n … l-whql.exe
It doesn't appear that there is anything new in it, though.

Sure.

I'm at work now, when I get home I'll test.

OK, I made a few modifications to the .ini.
@rafaelr, can you test if I post a link to a test pack?
