OmarGuzman Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hello I understand this is pretty late to post but I have been having issues with my 800D for sometime. I do not have RAID just have 4 HDDs. When they are all connected or in the bay I get a blinking grey/black (with green line at the top) screen and the OS never boots. System will not boot unless I remove ANY 2 drives. Cannot boot up with all 4 drives in the bay. I have been running only 2 drives in the bay and two separately connected below my optical drive. I still receive that annoying blinking black/grey with a green line at the top every time I boot but it disappears after 20 seconds. I wish to connect all my HDD in the bay, but cannot get the OS to boot. Any info will help. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 You're using the hot swap drive bays, correct? Have you tried bypassing the drive bay therefore eliminating it from the scenario and seeing if the motherboard will run with all 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarGuzman Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yes I connected all 4 drives with separate sata/power connections and the PC booted Win 7 normally. So I then started bringing back the drives one by one into the bays. Once I connect the third drive; OS will not boot. It does not matter where or which drive I use, system will not boot if 3 or more drives are in the swap bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Fill out the RMA form on the left and they'll help you get the controller for those bays replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
