WindowsXP doesn't boot, intermittent.
Morning,
I've installed and tested just about all the version for the Diamond, and I still experience the same problem.
Sometimes, when windowsXP loads - it gets stuck at the 'loading' screen, the one where you have the little green bar that indicates the progress. Sometimes, it boots, and sometimes the little green bar just runs forever. Sometimes, the disk light is on, sometimes it's not.
I've tried to play around with the voltage settings, the RAID settings, the board voltage settings. Nothing seems to solve this problem. Sometimes it just boots without a problem, other times - it just doesn't!
Tell me something, when I install a new BIOS with the WinFlash util and tell it to clear the BIOS, does it clear the BIOS? In other words, do I need to do a hard reset on the Mobo, or is the clearing of the BIOS in Winflash sufficient?
Please guys, this is driving me nuts! I can't find the problem..
Thank you.
David.

OK, MSI has definitly given up on Platinum/Diamond boards. One month or two - they're the best and brightest, and just a month later, they're giving up on them... Blah. Max Vcore I'm getting is 1.52.... How lousy is that?!

bios V3.6 - Tested immediately its released few days.
Verdict - still a bad bios !!! Becos the shutdown / restart prob with with Raid 0 still CANNOT be solved perfectly.
FSB can't seem to run past 265mhz stably ... occasional errors.
Currently still using V5.06 Beta which i think is the best version so far, with least bug.
No shutdown/rstart prob & No FSB bug ..
