Mkay, couple of days now my comp is giving a weird error, started of with an error saying "Overclocking failed" (but it let me start anyway), and now every time I boot it tells me:
"No drive attached to FastTrak Controller. BIOS not installed."
or something like that.

Also on that same day it told me there was a new hardware detected, RAID controller.

I don't know much about these things, so thought maybe someone could help me out.

UPDATE: installed the raid driver, but it didn't really do much with the no bios error.
Gonna try the FastTrak drivers then...just wondering why this is happening all of a sudden.

EDIT ON THE UPDATE: It's still giving me a faulty driver (or no driver at all) icon on the RAID controller.

Disable RAID in the bios if you dont use it.

Look for conflicts in your device manager (control panel > system > hardware tab > device manager) and uninstall/remove or try and let windows update the drivers until it's happy with it (I'd go for the remove option)

You could try flashing your bios? /o\

Dunno how an error like this can randomly occur o_O

eek. u talking about bios made me do something...

cuz my cpu core is running at 133x18 fsb i wanted to change it to 160 (200 max), and its a good job i did try 160 instead of 200..

133 = 2400
160 = 2880
200 = 3600

so i changed it to 160 and my psu died, took me 1 hour for it to have enough power to load up my bios to default my settings :A

just imagine if i had 3600mhz... >< no psu for me \p

i suggest instead of a new cpu (3.6 would cost around £250-300) just get a few cpu fans and a new psu. well cost efficient

maybe you could try downloading a new bios for your motherboard (depends what it is) and flash it again.

shev, your psu doesn't die when you overclock. you can only put one fan on a cpu, and a psu shouldn't be contributing to this problem.

then how come this happened? it was a blattent psu power problem.

how can you tell is was a psu problem.
and wtf take an hour to laod up enough power to get back into bios settings, now we know your talking out of your ass.

seriously

i clicked f10 to save to CMoS or wateva, and then my pc would turn off, so every so otfen id un-plug the tower plug socket and put it back in, but then it would turn off again before i could load up bios (takes a few screens to get to the "press del to go to bios screen")

so i waited 10 mins with the socket unplugged and then went further, but it shut down at the bios screen, kept trying this .. but when i left it out for about 20 mins and watched some tv, i could get into it and could load my default settings...

its happened before on my other pc "system 2 \o\" when i tryed to get default speed (1900+) which i needed a 300W psu to do this.. it just kept turning off quicker and quicker when i turned the pc on

same happened to sinas aswell, where he had to keep unplugging it and it was psu problem

read on internet, needs a good psu voltage to handle system tweaking, thats why i wont over overlock my gfx cuz it recommends a 250W and i only have 230W

lol, you most likely overheated the CPU,
causing it to reboot randomly, and having to make it cool down a bit before trying again.

Duh?

as much as i hate to admit it, and it goes against every moral fibre in my body, i think Messy i right. CPUs cannot 'charge' up thier power for an hour. Electronics 101.

Duh?

i'd like to think it was that, but its a stable 28-30°C, with internal and external fan

go to computer shop and get bios CD :D:D
