Asus A8N SLI RAID showing both drives as "degraded"

When i bootet this morning, the drives were shown as "degraded" in the RAID-Bios. I continued booting and Windows asked wheter to start in safe-modes or in normal mode. Windows bootet normally after i chose normal mode, but the message in BIOS still displays and every time i reboot, windows asks again which mode to boot. (as if i had not shut down properly)

The system shuts down with blue screen but sometimes never boots in win xp or in safe mode.

This problem usually occurs if: 1) The computer never finished booting 2) A sticky button on you keyboard (F8 or Control Key for win98) 3) Less Memory for windows xp and ME. Try checking if all the memories as well fixed on the board and are being read. 4) Corrupt system files. 5) Incorrect bios configuration (Try changing the bios settings to optimum performance of fail safe to confirm that. All the best.

Asus A8N sli Premium - sli problems

I went through your bios manual three times & did not come across a setting that gives you the option as you listed above.
What I did come across & triple checked your Manual Pg. 2-28 section 14. Asus EZ selector card connector (144-pin SLI_CON.
When using two PCIE SLI cards make sure the card is seated correctly & set for Dual Video Cards. (extreamly important).
Pg. 4-34, section 4.4.9 SLI mode Recommend kepping to Auto. Than the Bios detects the setting of theSLI selector card.
Refering to the sentance above the manual recommends all settings be set to Auto. Your Bios will do the rest. If for unknown reason you no longer have your manual you can download it from Asus. You'll need to fill in the 3 windows under, Please Select the Product.

Make sure that you have the lastest Firmware installed in your BIOS.

What causes ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe chipset fan and RAID failure

Don't bother with another ASUS chipset fan...
just get hold of a Zalman ZM-NB47J Northbridge Cooler. :thumbsup:

i've been running one of these for a month or so because my chipset fan started to rattle, and make more noise than usual

i haven't had any trouble with passive cooling, maximum motherboard temp is 39C.
i run all my drives on the nvidia controller, and it's overclocked a bit too.

plus you'll enjoy the silence :thumbsup:
