First post - be kind!
Specs:
E5300 @ 2.6 GHz
2GB generic DDR2
IDE Maxtor HD (200 GB)
IDE LG DVD-RW
Win XP SP3
Onboard graphics (ftm, anyway)
I installed the board yesterday and encountered no problems at all. However, every time Windows loads I get a balloon saying "found new hardware - IDE channel". After that, "primary IDE channel" comes up in a balloon and then a message from the hardware monitor tells me "there was a problem installing this hardware... an error occurred during installation of this device... driver is not intended for this platform". I have enclosed a cap of this message.
In Device Manager I have disabled every IDE channel except one (see cap in following post) which I cannot disable, and every time I uninstall it the required reboot just finds it again and tries to install it again.
Am I missing a driver here, or can I tell Windows to ignore this IDE channel? The Intel storage controller surely handles my IDE drives...
My other issue is with crashing caused by games. I was in the middle of playing on ZSNES when it froze, after which I noticed that the chipset was running VERY warm - are the onboard graphics responsible for this? I never had crashes with my old AGP board.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Mark.
