Hi,
I have a AS Rock N68c-s UCC with AMD Athlon II x 4 processor. I am running Windows 7 sp1.
The system is (I think) about 4 years old and up until a few weeks ago was running without too many issues.
I have now started experiencing problems which usually present as a single beep (not a bios beep, this can happen at any point during use) followed by the hard drive resetting and lag. Sometimes it causes a complete crash. With the help of a techy friend we have narrowed the problem down to (we think) the storage controller, listed in the device manager as Nvidia nforce serial ATA controller. These state that the drivers for the software are up to date, and there appears to be no way to replace them.
The event log lists NVstor64 errors which appear to coincide with the beeps and crashes. Although I've found many mentions of these errors causing problems going back several years, I am struggling to find a working solution.
I have tried re-installing windows but the problem has persisted and I am at a loss where to go next (short of buying a new motherboard which I really can't afford atm).
If anyone has any useful suggestions they would be much appreciated.
