S5520SC MB and windows XP Pro

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 04:12:40 GMT

Hi I have a SC5520SC MB with an AXX4SASMOD card and an AXX6DRV3GR cage with a single SAS HDD in it. When I try to install Win XP Pro I can load the LSI PCI Fusion-MPT driver from a USB FDD but when XP tries to install after formatting the HDD it gets to a point and asks for the LSI driver in Drive A and press enter but nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated.

problem rebuilding RAID

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 03:09:56 GMT

i have a Del DM051 motherboard with 2x 259 GB samsung HDDs set to raid1 with Intel® Matrix Storage Manager.

WinXP SP3

1 of the HDDs failed

I replaced the failed HDD (checked the serial No so got the right one) following the instructions at http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/cs-021014.htm and using the basic mode rebuilt the raid volume.

All appeared to be going well and I visibly saw it had got to 52% rebuilt.

The next time I looked I had a 'blue screen of death'

Now the computer will not boot to XP ( I get "A disk read error occurred" message)

Looking at the storage manager using ctl-I at startup shows

raiud volume with status = 'Rebuid" Boot ='yes'

Both physical disks are shown as 232.9 GB and as "Member Disk(0)

with a line at the bottom saying Volumes with "Rebuild" status will be rebuilt within the Operating System but I can't boot to the operating system.

I have tried booting from the Win install CD and can get to the recovery console but there are no drives visible.

Can anyone suggest how I can get to the disks to get the data

regards CJ.

E6850/XFX NVIDIA 650 MB problem

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:05:04 GMT

Two days ago I started to have Windows XP boot problems. The next morning It wouldn't boot up at all. I switched the boot sequence to the other HD which has Windows 7 on it. It booted once. The next time it wouldn't boot. I checked the BIOS and found the following wasn't recognized: 2nd core in the processor, both serial HD's(both IDE DVD drives were shown).

I think I have a MB problem but what else could cause these problems???

When trying to install Windows 7, I get a BSOD with igdkmd64.sys as the culprit.

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:35:05 GMT

So recently I attempted the jump from 32-bit to 64-bit in the form of Windows Vista 32 to Windows 7 64. My processor has 64-bit architecture (It's a Q9400), so I assumed if I did a clean install of windows 7 and formatted Windows Vista off of my hard drive completely, that I would not have an issue. When (I think) i'm almost done with the installation, and when windows is "starting up", the BSOD comes up with the error:

"igdkmd64.sys

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xFFFFF88103878FE6, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF880049A51DB, 0xFFFFF880049A50000000000005)"

[Could have misplaced a zero..]

Anyways, if anyone could me know what my problem might be.

Specs:

Intel DG43NB desktop motherboard

4GB DDR2 @ 800mhz

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 processor

If any further information is needed let me know but I do not have the exact model names for the hard drives that I am using.

PS: ANY information will probably be helpful please I cannot find anything about this error really. Thank you for your time!

Problems with pre-logon connection with proset 13

rgochako@bidmc.harvard.edu — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:17:58 GMT

I am having issues with pre-logon credentialing with the new proset 13. I set it up with a common pre-logon profile, but it doesnt pre-authenticate. It will eventually authenticate, but by that time all my domain scripts cannot run. This is something I have noticed in the last month. This is across Dells and Lenovo's, also downloads from intel's site here. I dont even see the script that runs, where it tells you it is authenticating, it is finding its domain controller, etc. I have also tried going down a version back to 12, but once i am lost, it stays lost.

Anyone seeing anything similar?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:15:46 GMT

I have a S3000AH(V?) motherboard in my server, the processor is a X3220, this week I wanted to upgrade this server with a X3370 but the cpu did not want to boot, both CPU's are socket 775 and if Intel is sellign server boards which cannot even be upgraded once...I seriously have my doubts about buying a Intel board ever again... can I make this work by a bios update or something?

Kind regards, thnx in advance

Intel Turbo Memory - Does it even work?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:41:51 GMT

Bought a Fujitsu ST6012 beginning of the year with optional 4 GB Turbo Memory installed in addition to 4 GB RAM on board

Owing to terrible driver support by Fujitsu the PC was almost unusable with Vista Business so plunged in nice and early to W7 beta.

Radically improved performance BUT Turbo Memory has never performed - sometimes completely uninstalling itself, other times misreporting use etc etc.

Waited until RTM of Windows 7 to see whether this cured the problem but it hasn't.

Current position: Pinned applications equate to 3.6G B but dashboard reports 100% Full?? Actual RAM in use 1.6 GB.

Am I the only Joe Sucker who shelled out for this pile of poop or has anybody got a glowing review which will allow me to reconsider my current opinion that Turbo Memory is a failed Intel experiment. And yes I am using the latest drivers.

Intel Turbo Memory Dashboard questions and feature suggestion.

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:10:12 GMT

I have been using a 4GB Intel Turbo Memory card in my Thinkpad X61 Tablet PC (2GB RAM, Win 7 Pro) for a week now. Overall some software has benefited tremendously from User Pinning, really nice. However I see some weird behaviour of the ITM Dashboard application (driver version 1.10.0.1012), and I was wondering if I am alone:

Over time, the used space goes down (i.e., 25% ---> 15%), some files in accelerated applications get unchecked. Do you think this is normal? And if not, does it cause performance loss?
Sometimes CPU usage of the ITM service goes up to 50% for extended periods, basically using one of the cores fully. Is this normal?
I noticed in one occasion User Pinning caused a software to malfunction: MS Word 2007 didn't create backup files even though I turned the option on (after having it accelerated). After long troubleshooting searches, I thought of removing it from the accelerated list and putting back again. It worked. This gives me a huge concern on the reliability of the ITM Dashboard application. How does ITM Dashboard keep up with the changes in software options?

As a solution to these problems I created an empty profile and chose to switch back and forth between my default and empty profiles. It helps. 15% full card jumps back to 28% again. But this is a time consuming task and I would prefer the software to do it, automatically.

I'm wondering if Intel developers are reading these forums, but I have a humble suggestion as a solution: Why not put an option like periodic re-generation of accelerated software list (if it is not there already). And why not another option to do this manually, on as-needed basis?
