I'm having problems booting of my SATA drive on a cold boot, second time around is normally OK. Speedfan is reading 11.3-11.35V on the 12V line, bios reads just touch over 12V, could this be the cause?
I can be fairly eager to blame the PSU, but this does look suspicious. Specs are included below. Didn't expect any trouble from a seasonic, but its been at this voltage since day 1. When running everything is very stable, even under dual prime, but it won't overclock at all, raise FSB to >290 and prime fails within 1sec, although windows works. I doubt the extension cable would cause that big a voltage drop?
Failure mode is that it does not detect an OS, or that the disk is invalid, have done two deep (DOS) scans of the disk and it reports ok. My working theory is that the disk is starting up late into the bios start-up and the bios switches to my old disk, with nothing on it.
