BIOS freezes after enabling RAID

Even since I setup my RAID array, when I try to go into the BIOS, it is frozen. I cant move the cursor at all. I have tried waiting about 2 mins to see if it just needed some time to initilize the RAID but nothing. If I clear the CMOS, I can get back into the BIOS fine, untill I enable the RAID again.
I have 2 IBM 60GB in a raid 0 array on IDE primary master and slave. I have looked around and havent found anyone else with a similar issue. My OS is installed on the RAID array, and I cant boot into windows fine and everyhting is stable, so I dont think it is a hardware issue.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

If you unhook the hard drives and all the IDE devices, cdroms and such can you get into the bios?

Itunes freezes after enabling Home Sharing

I've got a 64bit Windows 7 Machine. I've also got an itunes server on the network. I try to share my pc library in home sharing and it causes iTunes to freeze. I've tried deleting the preferences file to no avail. I'm assuming that it's some sort of conflict between the iTunes Server??
Any help apprciated!

I am having the same issue. My music is on a NAS and any time I put in my apple ID in Itunes and click on "Enable Home Haring" it freezes itunes and I have to use task manager to shut it down... any ideas?

HP Pavilion dv6-3071tx bios freezes after bios flash

I updated my BIOs to http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55299.exe
Now it freezes at the BIOs on boot. I think it's due to a bad flash. I want to reflash it and I've followed the instructions where I place the BIOS file 01448F29.bin onto a usb stick named HP_TOOLS and held down Windows Key + B, however it just stays on a black screen.
How can I flash the BIOs again?

Bios freezes after jumping jbat1 (msi P41-C31)

In school we built a computer that has the following motherboard msi P41-C31, 500gb hdd, Pentium dual core 2.80 ghz (E5500), two 2gb ddr3 1066 ram, sparkle nvidia geforce 8400s 256 ddr 2. When we installed xp 32bit and vista 32 bit it only showed 2gb memory usable memory. We went in the bios and it says 2gb usable memory. So someone in the class jumped there jbat1 and got the 4gb of ram to work. I did that with mine and it worked. And today the teacher did some things to the computer. I fixed every thing she did to it. Now i don't have 4gb of ram I'm back down to 2gb. so i jumped the jbat1 again when i go into the bios to set the time and date when i save, it freezes. The power button wont shut it down so i had to turn it off with the power supply button on the back. Now it wont turn on so i have to jiggle the jbat while pressing the power button to turn it back on. Then i go into the bios to set the time and date it freezes i have to keep doing the same thing over and over again. I didn't tell the teacher yet any ideas?

This is just speculation in trying to help your situation: Maybe she set the CMOS jumper and didn't remember to set it back into its proper position??
she did not mess with it other then switching the voltage meter and one memory slot was not seeded correctly. Before fixing it she told us to power on to see which one of us she messed with. So i did then i fixed it every thing was fine but that took me back down to 2gb so i jumped it.

Hard drives do not detect after enabling hardware raid controller

hello every one
I have 2 hard drive and want to make them RAID 1.after enabling raid controller in bios,when I want to install windows server 2012,it says no hard drive detected.when I load driver of raid,it dont work.i used "list disk" and "diskpart"
command in command prompt to show my online disk drive,but it does not show any hard drive.I think hard drive are in offline mode.how can I enable them?hard drive are sata 1T.
atiye moghaddam

Hi,
As RAID is enabled on motherboard, the configuration should be finished in BIOS as well. So the RAID1 should be already configged before installing Windows system.
When boot with an installation CD, you should have an option like "load driver for hard disk" or so. RAID will not be directly recognized so you should use that option to install a driver first.
If it will not work, contact motherboard manufacturer for more support on this function.

Freeze during boot after enabling Hyper-V feature in Windows 8

Good day.
I'm using AMD FX 8320 with 990FXA-GD65. After enabling hyper-v my pc freezing during boot. Google told me that it might be issue with USB 3.0 controller, so i disabled it in bios, but result still the same.
Can you please tell me where should i look at?

Hi,
Please try to boot into WinRE and run the Startup Repair option.
Generally speaking, when you add feature like Hyper-V, system would take a long time to get this feature configured. if your computer still stay updates configuration steps, you can use Windows 8.1 installation image to repair system. In system repair mode,
you can access into Command Prompt mode, and check CBS.log under C:\Windows\logs\CBS.
This log file would record Windows installation process, we may find the problem of Hyper-V installation.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.

Recovering RAID1 after non RAID boot

The system was setup to use 2 sata disks in raid-1 (mirror) configuration
with Windows XP (SP1).
Because of some other issues I did a bios update and forgot to activate raid in bios....
Windows XP booted up ok, propably doing some automatic driver update.
I wasn't allerted at that time, because I have previously seen
XP reconfigure itself after minor bios changes.
It was only latter when I noticed the new disk on explorer, and started to worry.
Turning RAID on in BIOS causes the Windows XP bootup to fail, because
of "missing system file" in windows directory. Trying without RAID
system boots ok.
Is there any way of recovering RAID operation without reinstalling everything?

It's strange that it wouldn't boot off the raid anymore simply because you unknowingly allowed it to boot with the Raid disabled after the Bios update. It Really shouldn't do that.
The only thing I can suggest is trying to restore the driver. Can you boot to safe mode with the Raid enabled? Then run WinXP system restore to before you updated Bios. Failing that try running system restore with the Raid disabled as it will boot that way and when it does the re-boot, go into Bios and re-enable the Raid then allow the reboot to continue.
Finally, you could do a repair installation of XP. Load the XP CD and hit F6 to load the Intel Raid driver again. Then let it find the XP partition and follow the prompts to do a repair install. This keeps all your settings and programs but any updates to XP(ie: SP2 etc...) will be gone. Again you should backup all crucial data before doing any of this.
Personally, if system restore doesn't work I would just burn a Slipstreamed Copy of XP with SP2 built-in from your original disk and do a fresh install.
Not what you wanted to hear I know....anybody got any other ideas?

Y510p bios freezes

Hello there,
As from recently when i go inside bios of y510p it freezes after second or two. It does that everytime i get inside.
I noticed that when i tried to install fresh/format windows 7 and must enable prior booting from CD.
Should i update my bios to the newest version. Curently i have the 3.05

Does the freezing go away after a few seconds or is it permanent? If it starts working after a few seconds it should be fine.
Y510p - i7 4700MQ (Overclocked to 3.6GHz), SLI GT755M, Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2133MHz, Samsung 850 Pro 256GB, MyDigitalSSD SuperBoot 128GB, Intel Wireless-AC 7260, Windows 7 Home Premium (SP1)

W700ds: Enable RAID using created recovery media

Hello!
I own a ThinkPad W700ds, though I'd imagine that my question would be just as well answered if it were a W700... Please, any help would be great!
I purchased a 'used' W700ds with Windows Vista Business (COA and recovery partition intact, but no media supplied). The laptop was advertised with RAID0 but I was always dubious that it was set up correctly. I spent some time investigating it this afternoon and noticed that the BIOS was not configured correctly - It was set to AHCI rather than RAID.
I did the following:
1) Created Recovery Media using the facility in ThinkVantage software.
2) Enabled RAID in the BIOS
3) Entered the RAID configuration (Ctrl+I) during boot up. I configured the drives as RAID0.
4) Reinstalled Windows Vista using the recovery media created in (1) above.
After completing the installation Windows Vista would did not manage to boot - Always BSOD'ing.
I repeated step 3 & 4 above, selecting RAID1 instead. Exactly the same issue.
I have since returned the BIOS setting to AHCI and reinstalled Windows Vista using the recovery media and I am back where I started (Windows installed but in a RAID array).
I have done some research and it would seem that in the RAID drivers are not included in the recovery media and this is the reason for the BSOD. I have included some of the numerous websites that I have read, both for your perusal and, in some way, to verify that I have really spent some time considering this issue before requesting help.
The recovery media that I have created is all that I have - Is there any 'self-contained' way for me to enable RAID? I'd prefer RAID1 (I would favour redundancy over speed) but would be happy with RAID0 if this is not possible. It seems a terrible shame that Lenovo (aware - and obviously not 'intended' as using alterative installation media is considered a 'work around') offer the opportunity of creating recovery media, which cannot be used to reinstall Windows using a valid configuration.
It seems that it is not possible to maintain RAID configuration through Lenovo R&R, which probably explains why the seller listing the ThinkPad as RAID but it did not come to me as such (the seller used the recovery partition to restore the laptop to factory state for me before completing our sale - makes sense!). Still, it seems a shame to have a laptop which offers RAID functionality and has the necessary hardware (RAID controller and two drives) and hitting a brick way over software restrictions. Can anybody give any advice how I may proceed to reinstall Windows with the drives in a RAID array, considering I've only the Lenovo recovery media?
Lenovo support are closed today due to the UK public holiday but I will try at the next opportunity - However, I fear my fate is in your hands already, as the ThinkPad is out of warranty.
Thank you!!

Hi LavaChild, welcome to the forum,
here's a thread missing from your list where I describe how I have done this in the past using recovery discs created from the system.
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/How-to-enable-RAID-0-on-my-W700/m-p/82856#M2048
That said I remember a rather long thread where one member had difficulties going this route, the solution turned out to be that for whatever reason their optical drive didn't want to play ball. Unfortunately I haven't found it after a quick search. I'll give it another shot tomorrow.
Edit; found the thread, it was about creating a RAID1 on a W700ds, but the steps aren't really any different. Please note the solution.

Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE - Windows 7 - freezes after sleep/hibernate

I have a Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE running dual boot Windows XP/7
Using Windows 7 - either 32 or 64 - the system always freezes after sleep/hibernate.
This never happens with XP which sleeps and hibernates OK..
There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
I like System 7 and use it on my other computers but without sleep/hibernate I will revert to XP.

Hi
> There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
Sorry mate but you are wrong.
All Win 7 drivers for Satellite Pro A210 are released on the Toshiba European driver page I recommend checking it again
Since this issue does not appear using Win XP, I can say for sure that this has nothing to do with the hardware but its a software related issue
I recommend updating the graphic card driver
Furthermore there is a new BIOS for Sat Pro A210 PSAFHEits v2.0
Check if you are using the latest version

Freezes after playing video playlist

My 60G freezes after playing my video playlist. I have to wait until the battery runs down then plug it in to reboot it for it to work again. I took it back to Best Buy where I purchased it, and they installed the latest update. They claimed this would fix the problem. Wrong! Any suggestions?
Thanks!

There is no screen event triggered when the video finishes playing that you can use to jump to the next slide or unhide a button to enable the user to navigate forward at a time of their own choosing.
If you know the duration of the video, you can place a navigation button on the timeline at that point so that it appears just after the video finishes playing. However, you may find that on different PCs with different system specs the video may take slightly more or less time to play.

[SOLVED] System freeze after upgrade linux-3.12.9-2 to linux-3.13.4-1

After upgrading from kernel 3.12.9 to 3.13.4 (booth x86_64 architecture) i detected system freeze after round about 0.5s of the login screen about 80% of the time.
So i first thought it coulbe be the the ati driver and uninstalled that via livecd/chroot.
But the same thing happens in comand line only mode.
Afterwards i setup at ssh server to get into the maschine if it is still running, but is was also not responding to that.
Downgrading to 3.12.9 solved the issue. In journalctl i could not find any usefull information.
