Problem With Raid After Default Reboot
Replies: 6 | Post Date: 11-11-2007, 09:39 PM | User: Prodigal66 | Forums: forums.techpowerup.comI did the oc debug mod on my board and was able to run at 3. 0 ghz just fine, but was having trouble tweaking the memory. Decided to start from scratch, so instead of just resetting bios values that i had changed, i hit f9 to reset to default. I forgot about the setting in bios that sets sata to raid. When defaulted, it goes to ide. Well, after waiting what seemed like an eternity for it to reboot, finally windows started and everything seemed ok, except i had gotten a message about spd? And it seemed that windows had installed a filter?
Anyway, i noticed that something was not right and realized my mistake in not setting sata to raid. I went back into bios and selected "configure sata as. " Raid. After that, could not get windows to start, i kept getting a corrupted screen and a dead keyboard. I was able to start windows when i changed "configure sata as. " Ide, but obv i want my raid. Any hope of restoring raid, or am i looking at another evening of reformatting and reinstalling?

Sii 3512 - Raid 1 Rebuild Stuck @ 80% - Safe To Reboot ?
I have a 1tb (2x1tb) raid-1 array on a sii 3512 pci card. 6 days ago, the power went out, which caused the raid-1 array to rebuild itself. Up until recently, it has been rebuilding at a modest pace. As of yesterday, it has seemed to get stuck at 80% when i look at it via the silicon images management utility:
Should i be concerned? Is it safe to reboot?

Blue Screen Of Death While At Default
Well, my computer was up for like an hour, and when i tried to play some bf1942 i got a very brief blue screen (~. 2 seconds) and then a restart. Tried to boot into windows, the second my desktop loaded, got another blue screen (this time ~2 seconds), and yet another restart. I'm pretty sure i can rule out heat. As i've got a prometeia mach i phase change. The bios is at default, but what else could it be? My mem is at default as well.

Sapphire 4850x2 - 3 Monitors W/ Default Driver
Ok, can someone help explain this?
I have an saphire ati 4850x2 and windows 7 32 bit (experiencing the ethernet bug with x64 and am frustrated with it) which supports up to 4 monitors. With the default driver that ships with windows 7, i can successfully connect my 3 monitors and have them all work and display. If i update the graphics driver to whatever is on windows update or ati's website, the software then only sees 2 monitors (whatever is on the primary slot). No configuration or documentation that i can find states why. If i roll the driver back, viola, 3 monitors. What gives? Anyone know?

Change Default Choice On Hp 2575 Printer
How can i change the default drop-down choice on my hp 2575 aio from "best" to "fast normal"? It's so annoying? I do a lot of common-or-garden printing which doesn't call for high quality, but the "properties" drop-down tab on my hp 2575 is set as default on best, which means every time i print i have to go into properties to alter it. It's very annoying, and i'd like to alter the default setting to "fast normal" but can't find any way of doing so in the options provided. Any suggestions?

Sony Vegas Default Rendering Settings
I have sony vegas 9 with windows xp and i tried to make my videos in hd not being aware that my older version computer/video card. Does not take well to high definition an things like that. (Shows laggy, an slow) also when i try to upload them to youtube they take more than a day to upload i let it sit overnight an in the morning it was on 29 percent. Well the problem now is that i can't figure out the default settings that were pre-programmed when you render videos on sony vegas 9. Again. I cannot use any sort of hd settings but i don't want any kind of bad quality videos. They don't have to be high quality but not sucky quality either, well. If you know the default settings please tell me, or any other settings that my computer can take an are easy to upload to youtube.

Cmos Checksum Error - Reset To Default Settings
Yesterday i got my new atc-210 case and pc power and cooling turbo cool 425 powersupply. So i transfered everything from my old case into the new one and put in the new powersupply and i added an old 20gb hard drive i found in my basement. So i try to turn on the computer and it turns on for a split second and then turns off. I kept trying to turn it on hoping it will finally turn on but it doesnt. So i call pc power and cooling and they say that it is the over voltage protection working so one of my components is messed up. So i remove the 20gb hard drive i put in. The computer turns on now but i get nothing on my monitor. So i remove my 9800 pro and put in my old geforce 4 mx card. Now my monitor is working but i realize that the computer is not booting. It shows the biostar symbol then goes to the part where it performs checks on the computer system and at the bottom says cmos checksum error. Reset to default settings and just stays on that screen.

Force Whs Not To Store Data On Boot / Default Drive
From what i understand the minimum storage for a new whs install is somewhere in the region of 75gb or which it carves 20gb for a boot drive and the rest for storage into the 'pool'. Any extra drives added to the storage pool, whilst just being added as jbod have data added to a standard ntfs such that if those drives are added to a different box they are readable. Now i currently run all my non workstation environments from vms - with the vm boot disks in raid 10 on one controller (a) and the data stores on a raid 1 and raid 5 arrays on a different controller (b). Hence i want to minimize io on the vms controller, a, and hence do not want whs using the remaining 55gb as storage i want it to use the added vds from controller b . Is there any way to remove the 55gb from the storage pool or force it not to use it? (I am not worried about extra storage being used since the the vd for it will be set to auto-expand unlike my other vms which have allocation at start).

Do I Need Raid Enabled Drives For Software / Firmware Raid ?
First off, i am completely aware of the fact that you need a re drive with tler enabled for correct hardware raid. My question though is tler needed for software (windows and linux) or firmware (onboard or fakeraid) raid setups? Will these implementations drop a hdd if it spends too much time correcting a read/write error?
In a single drive scenario, the drive will attempt to read/write the same sector for up to 60 seconds and then remap it if possible. In a hardware raid scenario, the controller will tell the failed drive to remap to a new sector with data from a good redundant drive (raid 0 not apply here). My second question is if indeed you do need a tler enabled drive because the controller will drop the hdd, then what will handle read/write errors? Will these software/firmware raid controllers do the same error recovery?
If there is no error recovery, it would seem that software/firmware raid are just bad news. This is esp true for firmware raid which would seem to have all the downsides of the other controller types and none of the benefits. Third question deals with ssds. Are there only certain ones qualified for raid and 24x7 usage? I have not seen a distinction like i have with hdds. Also, are these going to work properly in a raid 5, as the controller will want to try and fix any errors like they are hdds, yet the ssds have very good internal error correction.

Hardware Raid Card To Replace Mirrored Sw Raid ?
Looking for a sata hardware raid card that does mirroring ( i don't need anything more at this point ). Advice? Long story short, the on-board intel software raid was throwing errors under windows xp. I pulled each drive and used the manufacturer's drive test utility. Each passed with flying colors. ( I got the same errors with either drive in the machine, which is why i think the sw raid is the problem )
When i went to rebuild the set, the machine blue-screened shortly after the rebuild started. I broke the raid and tried to boot from either drive, but no luck. I tried to make a new raid, but the drivers for the raid controller do not come with windows. The machine has no floppy drive and no *connector* for a floppy drive, and i had no slipstreamed install disk, so i figured i was out of luck for the raid. I disabled the raid settings and installed straight to the hard drive. I'm looking for a hardware raid card to avoid these issues. I don't want to slipstream or floppy a driver in case i need to install. And i don't want windows mucking around with my raid in case it's rebuilding. Will hardware raid allow me to avoid these issues?

Raid 10 Or Raid 1 And Which Drives - For Storage
I am currently building my storage server and need some help with my decisions. I would like to get some 2tb drives in a raid array. I have narrowed down my choices to either a raid 10 array using 4 drives, or just a basic raid 1 with 2 drives plus a hot spare for a 3 drive array. Both would give me 4tb of space, and while raid 10 may not give me a big enough performance gain to warrent the price of a fouth drive it does give me the potential to loose 2 drives without data loss. This will be for streaming large (~5-10gb) files across an internal gigabit network. The questions i pose for the masses:
Which-
1) array do you think will work best for my situation, and causes me the least amount of issues? I am not worried about the price of a fourth drive, that is not the concern with raid 1, its ease of use. 2) drives do you guys recommend? I am talking sata desktop class drives, and i have heard nothing but bad things about wd green drives when put in an array. I think both of my raid choices are fairly basic, but i do want to want rebuild array on a regular basis due to drop outs or other crazyness. 3) raid controller card do you recommend? I do not need full harware raid, nor do i want the price tag of one. The server will not get beat up that bad to worry about the cpu tax from an economy level controller.

How To Assign A New Drive As Default Drive ?
So i have a 50 gb partition of my hard drive, containing the os, drivers, etc. I made the rest of the hard drive one partition, but is there a way to make that the default drive. For example, when i am installing a program, the default path for it to install is c>program files. Can i change this, so that it will install in my new drive>program files?

Reboot Repeating
My pc froze during a disk clean - sounded like an aircraft taking off too. However, when i tried to stop the action, the screen froze and i switched off and restarted pc. Problem is now that it won't boot up! Gets past the windows xp splash screen, goes black for a few seconds, then simply reboots, and simply keeps doing it! I have tried rebooting in safe mode but to no avail. I am loathe to do a system restore as i think i'll lose so much. Help anyone? Using windows xp pro by the way.

Continuous Reboot
I have a cheap emachine t 1300 computer using windows xp and when i click turn off computer, windows logs off (slowly) and as soon as cpu power light goes out it immediately powers itself back on. I have went to the startup & recovery section and unchecked automatic restart, but it still does this.

Reboot Loop
Starting about two weeks ago my computer would occasionally get stuck in this "reboot loop" when i try to reboot. It would boot, then restart itself before the bios screen, then restart itself before the bios screen again repeatedly until i manually turned it off at the power supply. Now, since installing windows 7 professional 64-bit, it won't reboot at all. Instead it just goes into this reboot loop until i manually turn it off. I know that there's problems with creative's drivers and win 7, but i'm wondering it it's my mobo. Any suggestions?

Sporadic Reboot
Not my first system build, but i'm more of a hobbyist than a tweaker. I'm really building this one for work, and i'd like to get 3 raid arrays set up. I set everything up, turned the unit on for the first time, i went into bios and did my set-up in there, only changing things minimally: i set boot order, i set the sata mode to raid, and set the outboard sata control mode to raid. I monitored the pc hardware for a about 15 minutes using the health section of the bios, confirmed stability, i then saved cmos to bios, and exited saving the changes.computer rebooted, giving me a single beep indicating that everything is posting fine, and detected all 6 sata drives appropriately. I did the ctrl+i to configure arrays, and successfully configured 3 separate raid arrays. I exited, rebooted again, and finally got to a point where i was installing the os. Before i could get the raid drivers installed using the f6 method, i the computer shut down, and re-started. When it went through the boot sequence this time it found that the device connected to raid port 4 was no device detected, and registered my raid array as "degraded". As i was attempting to discover the source of this, it would randomly shut down and reboot itself. Finally i manually shut the system down, and re-started it. It then correctly detected my missing hd, but listed it in the raid array listing as "rebuild". Thinking it may be a hd malfunction, i disconnected that hard-drive that was giving me problems, and it does seem to boot faster. I do think there's a problem with that drive, but the primary problem of sporadic rebooting seems to persist. I turned it on this morning and it ran for 15-20 minutes, reset itself, then before it was through the post sequence, it rebooted itself again, and now has been running for about an hour just in bios. I've been monitoring temperature and voltage, both of which have remained constant. I started working on it, installing os, and it shut down again, at about 1 hr. 25 minutes of runtime, all temps and voltages seem constant. It shut-down during hd format, now hd's are recognized within their raid configurations, but the windows setup will not recognize that there are drives installed. I'm a little lost on this one. I'm not even sure what could be causing the problem at this point. Any suggestions?

Not my first system build, but i'm more of a hobbyist than a tweaker. I'm really building this one for work, and i'd like to get 3 raid arrays set up. I set everything up, turned the unit on for the first time, i went into bios and did my set-up in there, only changing things minimally: i set boot order, i set the sata mode to raid, and set the outboard sata control mode to raid. I monitored the pc hardware for a about 15 minutes using the health section of the bios, confirmed stability, i then saved cmos to bios, and exited saving the changes.computer rebooted, giving me a single beep indicating that everything is posting fine, and detected all 6 sata drives appropriately. I did the ctrl+i to configure arrays, and successfully configured 3 separate raid arrays. I exited, rebooted again, and finally got to a point where i was installing the os. Before i could get the raid drivers installed using the f6 method, i the computer shut down, and re-started. When it went through the boot sequence this time it found that the device connected to raid port 4 was no device detected, and registered my raid array as "degraded". As i was attempting to discover the source of this, it would randomly shut down and reboot itself. Finally i manually shut the system down, and re-started it. It then correctly detected my missing hd, but listed it in the raid array listing as "rebuild". Thinking it may be a hd malfunction, i disconnected that hard-drive that was giving me problems, and it does seem to boot faster.

Usb Causes Reboot
When i plug a usb device (i've tried a digital camera and a ms internet pro keyboard) into my computer, it immediately crashes and reboots without any error messages. Device manager shows under universal serial bus controllers, both an intel pci to usb universal host controller and a usb root hub that appear to be working. I have windows 98 second edition on a pentium iii homebuilt with an abit motherboard. Any suggestions?

Remote Reboot
I've been asked to come up with a solution to remotely reboot network equipment that goes down at off site locations (around the country). I've been able to find a few options, but have not been able to find any reviews on them. I was hoping some of the members here might either have experience with the products, or could point me in the right direction. We need to be able to reboot a modem, router, and possibly switches when we lose internet at a remote location. I feel that the best solution is one that will let me "call" the equipment and have it cycle power. One of the devices i'm looking at is the power mate - black box. Seems to fulfill my needs at a good price
Dataprobe also makes a good product (or so i think) but it is a little pricey. I am looking at the ibootbar. Does anyone have any experience with these devices or possible guidance? It would nice to not have to "test" something out by spending $200+.

How To Reboot Pc With Keys ?
What are the three keys needed to reboot a computer? Reboot as restart the computer. We installed a sound device from dell and it said to restart the computer. How do you do this safely?
Answer:-
I assume you mean ctrl +alt +del although this doesn't reboot your machine it opens task manager providing you have a windows operating system. Generally used to monitor programs, processes, computer resources and to end non-responsive programs.could add some additional details on what you want to achieve by doing this? If you are running windows, click start > shutdown > restart. That is the safest way i know of and has never caused any problems for me.

Pc Random Reboot Problem
My pc will randomly reboot. Usually, it means that the cpu is overheated. But in this case, the cpu fan is still running normally and the reboots mostly occur when i just boot up into windows xp. Also, sometimes, when i power on or restart the pc, the pc will just hang at the part where the motherboard brand and name is displayed. It will not continue to boot up the diskette drive or the hard-disk. I have to switch off the main power and power up the pc to get it to boot properly. Pressing the restart button doesn't work. I feel dat it could be caused by the motherboard. The motherboard's brand is 'soyo dragon ultra', does the problem lie with the motherboard?

Pc Just Shut Down And Reboot Repeatedly
It's an abit kv7-v with a sempron 2600+ i believe, 512 mb with a radeon 9200. I can get more details if you need. Anyways, starting a few months ago it would just shut down and reboot, repeatedly doing this, sometimes after it had booted to the os and ran for 15 minutes, sometimes during the boot progress so i don't think it's a virus. We replaced the psu, for some reason the hardware monitor in the bios is detecting the processor at 200 degrees fahrenheit! This cant be right, the fan is sinning the heatsink is applied correctly with thermal paste so i'm thinking either the mobo or processor is shot. Can anyone shine any light on this?
P. S. I replaced the psu because the computer would'nt boot when plugged into this power strip of his, sometimes when he opened the garage door the computer would reboot, and when he shut the computer down the case fans would still run unless you actually shut the power switch off on the bakc of the psu. Maybe this actually indicates a mobo problem? Although the 200 degree processor temperature, even though it's obviously not true of or the proc would have melted by now still worries me anyway in regards to the processor.

Hp 4000t Goes Offline After Reboot
I have just upgraded our file server on a peer to peer network to winxp pro. The "print server" (really just another peer which does little but run the printer) is running w95, as is most of the rest of the small network (one client on win98se). Upgrading the other computers (hardware or software) is not currently an option. When i set up the printer (hp lj4000 t) on the win xp box as a local printer (which i have to do in order to be able to name it what i need to), everything works fine, until a reboot. Then the printer is listed as offline, and i cannot bring it back online without re-installing it from scratch. Efforts to do so bring various error messages, none of which want to happen now that i want to transcribe them . How can i get the printer to remain "online" after a reboot? Queries for obvious details that i have forgotten to include will be responded to promptly! All suggestions that involve working with current hardware/software will be tried.

System Unstable After Reboot
I've a quite strange hardware problem on my system. After reboot system becomes quite unstable, so in windows i usually get a blue screen of the death. If the system survives about 24h to 48h running, it becomes stable. It's not a software issue since i've reinstalled xp, and have also the same trouble on linux (ubuntu). Memory test (with memtests) says no problem. And video card changed and problem persists.
