Topic: What happening with the nForce 3/4/5 & Sillicon Image

Known issues
- [driver issue] installing onto an nForce 3/4/5 mass storage controller results in a BSOD
- [driver issue] installing onto a Sillicon Image SiI3112 SATALink/SATARAID results in a BSOD

Is there anything new happning to this issue?

Re: What happening with the nForce 3/4/5 & Sillicon Image

that's point of my interest, too.

i think MANY systems are affected because of these problems.

Re: What happening with the nForce 3/4/5 & Sillicon Image

I know. When the problem first arose, I've been working on it like a mad man, only to find NO solution whatsoever. I will start workign on it again very soon, probably tomorrow.

These drivers are a real PITA! *sigh

Hi Bashrat,

I have a customerPC with nforce3 + S-ATA HDD. If you want me to test some experimentals, just say so.

muiz3: I think you have a IDE HDD. A friend of mine has nforce4 with IDE, and has no problems, too.

the main problem is the S-ATA / SCSI HDD, i think.

nForce4, nForce4xx y nForce5xx tested in IDE mode and without problems... next week I will test in RAID mode...

Re: What happening with the nForce 3/4/5 & Sillicon Image

I've tested with DP_BASE 6.8.6 + lastests DriverPacks : works on nForce4 ultra and nForce3 ... but BSOD on nForce2-400 (no RAID used).
I can test with nForce4-ultra + nVidia 7900GT and nForce4-6150 (video integrated).

maxximum: Did u use a SATA HDD on your system? I think the BSOD problem is only on SATA, IDE works great!

Re: What happening with the nForce 3/4/5 & Sillicon Image

Harddrive used on nForce2-400 was IDE and it did BSOD. I've tried install OS twice, and it did the same. Then I switch back to original XP install without DriverPacks integrated, then I manually installed nForce drivers 5.11 (latest version which is WHQL on nForce2).

Re: What happening with the nForce 3/4/5 & Sillicon Image

Hey

I just buildt a pc with  nForce 3  & SATA disk---->OK

I have tried the same DVD on  nForce 2/4 and the same SATA HD ---->BSOD

@Bâshrat the Sneaky
The PC's with nForce 2/4 had a ATI card connected.......
The PC with nForce 3 had an old 3DFX PCI card......

How is the progress on this issue? smile
