hi guys, built a few amd rigs but this is my first intel.
First the specs
Antec 1200
intel i7 930
6gb corsair xms3 ddr3 @1600 (standard latencys)
1tb samsung spinpoint f3
edimax wifi card
creative xfi soundblaster (oem)
corsair 750 watt psu (the top class one cant remember if its hx or something like that)
Asus p6t deluxe oc palm edition (thanks for the GREAT PRICE OCUK
)
right heres where my troubleshooting began;
at first my hard drive wasnt recognised at all. swapping the sata cable from the orange one (silly mistake on my part lol) to a red solved this
however i still get a message that comes up on p.o.s.t that says ''no virtual drive detected'' and ''no physical drive detected'' it then says hit ctrl m for bios or space to continue. hitting space just proceeds as normal to windows and everything is fine. I have gone into the bios several times and the hard drive is recognised but in the second sata slot instead of the first
i had a message to do a bios upgrade which i had never done before but the asus update utility mad it ver easy
the last part of my troubleshoot involves the sound card. whilst im getting audio from the rear ports i have an audio lead firmly pluged into the card that leads to the headphone port at the top of the antec 1200 but i dont get any audio from here. none of the utlities work which leads me to believe the drivers are not correctly installed either. i have tried the automatic update and new drivers where found but the issue has still not been resolved. I will try to download new drivers manually from the creative website later on today.
my main issue is the break in the p.o.s.t where it tell me about not having any drives installed and to hit space. has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance
