Hey all,
Built a Conroe E6600 system about 6 weeks ago, and this issue started the day I built it.
I have a Plextor PX-708A IDE drive, as well as 3 SATA HDs. in the BIOS, the Jmicron controller is enabled and set to IDE. Current driver version is 1.16.1.0 (8/23). Oddly, the latest version on Softpedia is dated 9/23 and is 1.14.0.1, and on Asus' site, it's 1.12.07.00 dated 9/1.
anyway, sometimes when writing CDs or while doing DAE (digital audio extraction), i'll get really bad mouse lag.. something I never had on my previous system with this drive. It's to the point where I can't use the computer. I move the mouse and 5 seconds later it will catch up. It happens in bursts, and stops immediately once the drive isn't writing or active. It happens most often when it's struggling to read through errors on a CD.
Anybody else have this issue with their P5B and an IDE optical drive?
Steps I'm about to take:
- try the 1.14.0.1 driver (it seems as though i updated to the new version through Windows Update on 9/29)
- check to make sure i'm set as master in the jumper
anything else I could try?
thanks!
