Using the external dock via one of the USB 3.0 plugs in on the back of the board and consistently have access to this HDD. It is even recognized as the correct drive letter and programs that used it work without flaw. No errors or problems when hooked up like this. Will be traveling for the...

Ok, latest update. I am running the 3tb hdd from the external dock and it behaves fine. So probably the board or the sata cables. Will do more troubleshooting after Christmas break most likely.

I was able to run the BIOS update. The situation is still the same. The odd thing about this board is that if I do not immediately access the folder/drive on the storage drive after boot (within minutes) I then cannot see the movie files on that drive and other files and folders on the drive...

Ok, I had some trouble at first because I was not unzipping the downloaded drivers before running them. Ran chip set drivers today without issue. Other items of note: I would be able to access the 2nd HDD if I opened it in file explorer immediately after boot. (now after updating drivers)...

Having trouble with the old "If this program didn't install correctly, try reinstalling using settings that are compatible with this version of Windows." I used the Win 7 64 bit drivers, which are the correct ones. I'll keep troubleshooting why these drivers are not installing.

Hi everyone, I have a new question in regard to this new board not always detecting/seeing my 3TB storage drive. Sometimes when I boot up the board will recognize the drive but I will not be able to access the folder with all my movies, etc. It will see the folder but it looks empty like there...

Thank you for that reply! I trust that this board will work with a clean install. Have you done the upgrade and kept all files and programs without issue? That's the question that I am most curious about.

The first time I tried, I still had the Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 installed and the Win 10 update accepted the product key. Now that I have switched mobo to the ASUS P8H77-V LE, I tried the upgrade again and for some reason it is not accepting the product key. I may have also used that product key...

Hi everyone, I am considering purchasing a copy of Windows 10 for my trusty desktop, and I want to know if anyone has upgraded with this particular board. (Not clean install) First a small history then system specs. I used to run an asrock z77 extreme4 and tried the free upgrade and it took my...

video card may be on its way out...make sure all your power connections to the graphics card are secure and you may want to re-seat the card itself too. sometimes cards just become unable to play games anymore...they dont always die dramaticly with smoke and a bad smell. Do you have an old card...

Likely this will be the final update. Installed the new PSU and the system has been stable the whole time. Identified a possible problem with the plug on the side case fans. The 4 pin peripheral connector plug had the pins slightly miss-aligned. As a result it would push the pins back every...

Without a spare PSU your options are limited. You could manually test your PSU for the proper voltages but it is very hard to do. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/ht/power-supply-test-multimeter.htm Also don't forget to visually look at each plug to make sure none of the pins...

powercfg -devicequery wake_armed lists a few devices like mouse and keyboard mostly. Not sure what that did. Mostly generic information that I have been over several times. Waiting on the new PSU and I'll see if that helps.

Made suggested changes no improvement. I would like to add that since update to the BIOS that the computer will not reboot automatically when coming out of sleep. It simply spools up the fans and the case light goes solid, but nothing on the monitor. I have waited up to 10 minutes to be sure...
