Here are the issues my mobo has. Is there anyone who has encountered them and found a solution? 1) I bought two Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB harddrives (HD502HJ) and this motherboard fails to detect them after a restart - any kind of restart: CTRL-ALT-DEL during boot, proper restart from the OS or a RESET. They are only detected after the primary power-up. I find it hard to believe that it's the HDDs that are troublesome. 2) I can't power-up this motherboard straight after shutdown. I have to wait some time before it works again. Sometimes, pressing the power button lights up the Green led and all the fans start spinning, but the screen stays blank - no boot. 3) Is there an alternative BIOS I can install on it (I couldn't find one yet)? The current one seems to be the cause of all my problems. Thank you!
