New machine with EX58 UD5 Mobo, i7,CPU, 3 sticks of RAM. Fresh win Xp SP3 install (4 days old), 800w power supply, 3HDDs etc etc. AHCI enabled but no RAID, HDDs on the blue SATAs, DVD plugged on the white SATA (GSATA). No overcloking except that BIOS MIT Intelligent Tweaking set to second step (whatever that is called).
All working acceptably well (thinking of ditching AHCI in fact, see below why), however I want to update the BIOS using @BIOS (the idiot's way I admit) and when i want to switch off DES the PC freezes so bad the mouse doesn't move either. I have to hit reset of power switch (on front).
I honestly do not remember if this was an issue when AHCI mode was off... I might try, later in non-AHCI... I use AHCI maily cause I have an eSATA HDD Docking station and an eSATA cradle and want hotswapping (BTW people hotswapping works in non AHCI mode on the white ports !!)
Ok so enough rambling. I want to use @BIOS. @BIOS wants to switch off DES, I say Ok, PC freezes.
I tried:
1) Stop DES from the funky GUI. When I press ON/OFF the pc Freezes solid.
2) kill the GSvr.exe manually, then try to switch off DES from the GUI. solid freeze
Except uninstalling this DES, how can I use @BIOS? I DID use @BIOS before but 1) I remember I was in non-AHCI mode and 2) I might not have activated / installed the DES.
Any ideas please to make @BIOS and DES be nice to each other ?
I have F9E and thinking to upgrade to F9M...
Thank you
EDIT: Well after I wrote this I tried again and DES turned off. so i managed to use @BIOS. ahhh THE MYSTERIES....
