Hi!
I've bought an asrock z77 extreme6 with an i7-3770k and 16gb of ram (win7 64 bit)... All goes wery well!
I've only a problem with the floppy controller (yes, I still use a floppy reader). If I set the controller to ENABLE, with NO diskette is inserted, after the boot the motherboard get stuck with a black screen and a cursor blinking (the operating system doesn't load from C:\). If a boot diskette is inserted, the floppy makes the boot correctly.
If I disable the floppy as the first boot device, the operating system will load, but than, there is no floppy drive available at all... (no A:\ in win7!).
I tried to change the cable and also the reader... I even did a clear CMOS, but no changes.... what do you think it could be?!
Summary (required for my bad english!):
1. The system lock up (black screen and a cursor blinking) with Floppy as first boot device WITHOUT a diskette inserted.
2. The system boot regularly from the floppy drive, if a boot diskette is inserted.
3. The system boot regularly and the operating system will load from the Hard Drive if the floppy drive is NOT the first boot device.
4. From the above point 3, Windows 7 recognizes the floppy controller, but NO the floppy drive (there is NO A:\ unit)
Thanks in advance! Regards...
