cello,
I just built a pc with this mobo and a seagate sata hdd and a sata burner.

I was surprised, thought that having SATA devices would require a temporary floppy drive/sneakernet driver installation.
Is your XP install disk clean/scratch-free?
Maybe some of your ram is bad, try using just one stick (assuming you have more than one)...
Perhaps a power issue... noisy line/subpar psu?
Good luck,
Bob
I have a secondary EIDE Seagate Barracuda drive and in order to make it work I set the following settings in BIOS:I have a DS3 rev 3.3 with a E4300 running Vista. When I shut down, the screen looks normal, goes to blank as it should at the end of shutdown, the hard drive stops spinning, but the power light and fan stays on. I have to hold the power button for a few seconds to force it to totally power off.

nOOb question here. Trying to get my DS3 new build clean install to work on a single 200 gig Seagate drive. Everything seemed to be going well. It formated my HD loaded drivers so on and so forth and when it should have loaded the desktop it looped back to SetUp and now wants to do it allover again. For some reason it didn't continue. Any thoughts?? To load windows I set it up to boot from cd rom just like in an IDE syst. Do I neeed to do something special with the SATA drive?

I'm hitting a FSB wall around 350 with my e4300. I went through all the voltages and multipliers with no luck. The cpu will do 3.0 ghz rock solid 9x333 @ 1.4 vcore. But anything over take massive voltage on vcore, fsb, mem, mch, and pci to be stable. It feels like i'm hitting the 965 holes/wall, but dropping the multiplier and cranking the fsb over 400 wont even post.
Any ideas?
Fixed E4300 FSB266 with PC800

BIOS notes are always annoyingly vague.
I assume there was some issue with overclocking PCI Express, and now they've fixed it.

The Bios F11 is screwing up my system. I was only doing some very basic overclocking and everytime I turn off the pc completely and turn it on again the next day, the system is being reverted back to the original non-overclock speed and I need to go to bios again to change teh setting. This never happen to my old F6 bios, what wrong now?
