everything else runs fine (programs can take longer than i expect to open but once open they run fine).

that is what i was hoping, i dont really want it to be bent pins on mobo as that will void warrenty. got a couple of spare ones to try. the thing that gets me is, it happens in F1 2010 on lap 7 or 8 of a 10 or 12 lap race without fail. works flawlessly through practice and qualifying but every race, at that point, it gets to the same unplayable situation.

what are good games that should push the cpu and gfx but rarely access the hdd?

F1 2010 did that with me 7-8 laps in but since I have moved it to my new HDD its stopped.

awesome, you the man.
i did have my old system setup with raid0 with 2 different drives, so maybe this is a bad drive its on now.
will try a fresh install tonight on a different drive, might even set raid0 up again.

did you have any other symptoms, or was it just F1 2010?

Murray · 30 Jun 2011 at 15:30

I only really noticed it on F1 2010.

ok, i have found programs take a while to open, and notice it in fifa11 a lot more than f1. not sure if fifa is more hdd dependant.

reinstalled with the original raid0 hard drives i was using on my B55 setup, so will see if that helps.
managed to get front usb3 working (i had unplugged the lead whilst fiddling with the hdd light) and i got the hdd light working.
just praying that the fresh install on better hdd setup fixes it, else it will be a complete strip on saturday to check the cpu socket.

reinstalled on my original raid0 drives and it completed a race on F1 2010 without the issue, so hoping this has sorted the problem.
thanks for your help, was proper worried something expensive had gone.

paradisiac · 1 Jul 2011 at 09:58
