sirlordcomic Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I've updated from 1.3.3 to 5.03 following all the advice except PartMagic step and I'm now getting lockups all the time. Updated BIOS and cleared with no drives attached, and about to roll back the BIOS but will try PartMagic first. Of note, mine is the 90GB GT and I have never been able to get the last (2) new C600 x79 SATA Controller drivers installed without BSOD, so I use one from 2011. And now I have installed the Standard driver, but still get lockups. Here is ATTO score: http://i.imgur.com/yHTnNl.jpg Here are some driver screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/7jqAQl.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/eq6Yal.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlordcomic Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Also of note, is that I have tried the separate ASROCK 6bg/s SATA III port with the same problem using the ASROCK controller driver and the standard; as opposed to the Intel Sata 0 port. I have removed my Optical SATA from the system as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 The ATTO results don't look too good. What BSOD error codes are you getting? I would suggest a secure erase with Parted magic and reinstall Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlordcomic Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Done, but I used R-Image to restore my Win7 x64 install: http://i.imgur.com/BjzoKl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Are you experiencing any BSODs or lock-up after the secure erase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlordcomic Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I wish I still had the extra 90GB GT I bought to try that one, as I am still getting lockups. The one BSOD was some kind of Machine_Check error. The strange thing is I have run Prime95 for about 6 hours w/ 8 threads, and ran a NasTest file copy app @ 40 iterations of 400mb file. I did the NAS tester on both my NAS units which are currently both connect direct to my PC. Came home and everything is fine. The first lockups, days ago, started while music was playing from NAS or SETI @ Home running; I started getting the lockups randomly after updating my ASROCK BIOS and the 90GB GT to 5.03. As soon as I start trying to backup my data from one NAS (synology DS411j) to a WD Duo NAS I get the lockup, so maybe it's a NIC driver/hardware issue? Can I roll back to 1.3.3? Should I now try the Standard AHCI controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 2, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 2, 2012 You are using a old driver version have you tried the latest drivers at Intel's Site? And have you tried the drive on another system to test it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlordcomic Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 @ RAM Guy Was running great all night and moved my NAS units off to the router and was getting no lockups. Then I connected my USB3 drive and ran a file copy overnight from LAN, and wokeup to locked PC. I was running Standard AHCI all night. 1. I can't install any new drivers (2 latest Intel) without the "fast" BSOD at boot and then always have to use Last Known Good Configuration. 2. Plan is to install a different drive today and see what happens. I have updated quite a few drivers since the lockups started in the hope it was NIC related or something else. thanks all!

sirlordcomic Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Bummer, got the new driver in after reading some folks would disable the other SATA controller. Went all day and locked up again during file transfer from NAS to USB3 drive. Prime95 Blend good for 6 hours the other day; maybe I'll run it over night. I have a dedictaed Intel NIC too, and both that and the onboard Broadcom have been great until BIOS update and moving to 5.03. Guess I need to drive another drive at this point or re-install Win7 x64. http://i.imgur.com/n6P4zl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlordcomic Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'm holding off on testing with a different drive as disabling my AsRock SATA Controller has allowed me to install the 11.x series of driver (which gave me the instant/fast BSOD on boot). OH, forgot to mention I installed .net 4.5 too which someone made mention about needed for the Intel GUI to run. http://i.imgur.com/ZqHhJl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0zPbil.jpg Although I never had lockups before BIOS/SSD firmware update, things seem to be pointing at some kind of network bottleneck imo... Prime95 Blend 14 hours with Furmark running torture as well R-image backups written to and restored from USB 3.0 drive no lockups until some kind of network transfer...we'll see!
