Hi guys

I built a box using Gigbabyte H67N-USB3-B3 + i3 + MSI GTX 550 Ti + 2.5' laptop disk(not SSD) on SATA3. I'm running Ubuntu Linux 10.10 and Windows 7 on it.

Everything thing works fine except 2 things

My BIOS is on version F5, the only newer version is F6E and marked as beta bios on Gigabyte's web so I haven't upgraded right away.

1. My USB external drive (WD World Edition 2TB w/ USB3), can't be recognized if boot up with it plugged in, and it sometimes breaks USB keyboard and mouse. Plug the drive in after the OS is booted usually works.

I usually use the USB3 port on MoBo. I'm going to try other USB2 ports.

2. The ethernet interface drops loads of packages in ubuntu. This manifests only after I boot into windows. But I don't think this a ubuntu problem because in windows if I run the Realteck diagnosis tool, it show IRQ conflict and FIFO problems.

Only a BIOS load default or a cold boot would fix this. And it will happen again if boot into windows.

I have Intel RapidStorage installed. It looks suspicious to me. A couple of times RapidStorage says I have new hardware installed and asks me to reboot. I really don't have anything new.

Once, I see there is a BD-drive in Windows but I don't have any optical drives in the box.


Any insight?
