hi guys, wanna ask, previously im using dfi dk p35 mobo on vista 32bit os with 4gb ram, and the os was logically detected about 3.25gb of ram..

but when i use this board it only utilizes 3gb..

i suspect this is caused by "memory remap feature" setting on the bios

am i right?how am i gonna increase the memory utilized?should i disable it? unsure.gif unsure.gif

Hi guys, got a problem here. My PC crashed several times already. And for each time, when I tried to boot it up, it will show "Disk Read Error". And I have to reset the BIOS. And then it would tell that the there is an error in BIOS setting. My PC will boot up back after resetting the BIOS setting.

My question is, why did I get these random "Disk Read Error"? Any way to troubleshoot the problem? Thx.

this mobo is a supa HDD crasher broo
would advise u to use a seperate OS disk for benching
but in my case...at times if u reset BIOS ie run stock setting
the problem goes away
but 75% of the time u will have to get ur boot cd/dvd to fix the the prob  whistling.gif

Ok, thx. So it seems that my mobo is crashing my hard disk only, not ruining it. Because before this I had a 500GB Seagate hard disk corrupted, and I wondered if my mobo played some part in ruining it. But I guess, my hard disk corrupted solely because of of its firmware (as widely reported).
