Hi. I just built my new system with the Asus Rampage Intel x48 motherboard. I've been having a few issues with it.
First of all, the stupid processor heatsink and fan has the worst mounting screws EVER. The POS plastic pieces keep coming out so when I turn my comptuter upright, it falls out sometimes and hangs there. I've tried countless times to make it secure. But that isn't my main issue...
With the computer booted up and I get the prompt to install Windows, I press enter and it tells me... no hard disk is installed. But it is. The exact same way it was an hour ago when it was attached to my previous motherboard. The only difference is a new power supply. I have a Thermaltake Tough Power 750w. I use the same cable to run my case's door fan, and the fan works great. So the parts connected to my HDD should be fine. I don't know why it won't read my hard drive.
I have an IDE drive as a backup, but I haven't tried it yet because my DVD-RW drive is also IDE, and the Rampage only has 1 IDE slow on the motherboard. Any ideas?
