Hi,
I've had this board for a while and it served me well in testing countless PCI-E video cards. It's an AM2 based board, with the nVidia mGPU 8200, 2 DDR2 slots, one PCI-E 16x and one PCI-E 1x, two sata connectors, no IDE.
The other day, I wanted to install an OS to benchmark some video cards, but it wouldn't detect any SATA HDD I would plug in, I've tried at least five different known working SATA cables, I've tried with each SATA port. It just won't detect the drives. No problem if I put a SATA HDD in an external case connected to a USB port.
I've attempted a reflow of the chipset (with flux) but it didn't make any difference.
Anyone has experienced this with this type of board or chipset ?
