Hi all, Brief synopsis: Working on a SB PC, with a i7 2600K & ASUS P8P67 LE. PC will boot fine if DVD-ROM and Boot HDD are attached to the 6gbps SATA ports. HOWEVER, if the second hard drive is attached to ANY of the remaining SATA ports (be it the one remaining 6gbps, or any of the 4 3gbps) the PC will freeze during boot on the "second" ASUS splash screen. CPU, RAM and PSU all check out OK. And Windows boots if I put just the one HDD in. Any ideas? PS. Both drives are SATA 3gbps drives, tempted to try a couple of 6gbps drives and see if they work. |

Yeah, send it back to the etailer/Asus for a replacement. After all the SB hoohaa, you're entitled to one anyhow. And it wouldn't surprise me if this was an innate chipset issue. |

^ this, worth contacting Asus or your retailer (are retailers replacing these???). I take it it's not a B3 motherboard? |

I assume you have checked the BIOS (or whatever the new name is) that the 3Gb have been enabled correctly and] looked for any BIOS updates |

Is it a 'B3' revision board? If not get it swapped. |

Turns out it's not the board, it's the HDD. Samsung HDDs have some sort of firmware issue with SB, a swap to a Western Digital drive sorted out the boot issues.  As for swapping - already registered.
