SN78SH7 shuttle anyone?

Thanks, Just wondering. Could it be that I have a different bios to you??

I flashed to the one older then you as that was recommended for my dual core. You think if i flash to the latest that would do the trick?
 
Right... i remember what i did however, don't change it just yet as you need to either apply a patch/driver first or reinstall... so just check first

in the bios follow

Integrated Peripherals > MCP Storage Config> SATA operation mode >

i would imagine your one says [IDE] but really you want [AHCI]

i think this is what i changed and that gave me a new boast on the windows score.

let me know what yours reads
 
Hmmm, thats not gone well.

Got the BSOD as windows was starting. Doing startup repair now and will try it again.

Could that be anything to do with flashing the bios and not doing this patch?

ok let me check my memory settings, do you happen to have a spare hard drive to hand? one you could do a install on? as after i realised that my wrong setting i did a reinstall.

i have the same memory and same amount..

OK hold fire...

one other last thing to try which i changed is this...

ENTER BIOS

Frequency / Voltage control > DRAM Config

> select manual

>change memory clock value to DDR 800

>change back to auto

you should notice the 800 stays in the settings, save and exit.

that is the correct speed for you memory. That may well do it. Falling that, try a reinstall on another drive with your now correct bios settings and you should get scores similar to mine
 
Ok so i need to be installing windows with the bios set to AHCI?

Think im gonna live with it for now as I really cant face doing a clean install. Thanks for your help.
 
have you tried the bios memory settings? you don't need to do a reinstall yet! try this

ENTER BIOS

Frequency / Voltage control > DRAM Config

> select manual

>change memory clock value to DDR 800

>change back to auto

you should notice the 800 stays in the settings, save and exit.

Yeah, sorry that doesnt work same old same old.

Thanks for your advice, a reinstall with ACHI enabled should get it working right you think then?
Click to expand...

well it did for me, i changed the ACHI and had the blue screen of death so reinstalled and had the better performance. I can't say for sure, its up to you my man :(
 
Ok thanks for your help dude,
I'll assume thats what the problem is, I dont have access to some of my install disks at the moment and to be honest can't really face a reformat right now.

Thanks again, Hows your new card by the way?
 
Hey Tom, strange one, i added my card and it reset the bios :(, i configured it and loaded into windows ran the test and i got 5.9 on the memory!

changed everything and reran the test and still 5.9, went back in and disabled the onboard graphics which uses some of the memory and it went back to 7.4!!

under device manger do you have this



or two entries one stating 8200?
