Does anyone have any info on a bios update specifically for the Sil3112
SATA controller on the A7N8X-E Deluxe board? I have downloaded the bios
file from Silicon Image, but they have a disclaimer that states the bios
file is for add-in cards only, not motherboard integrated controllers.
They say to get that from the mobo manufacturer, however, I can't seem to
find anything from ASUS. Here is my situation in a nutshell.
A7N8X-E Deluxe board
AMD Athlon XP 3000
1GB (2x512) Crucial DDR 400 (PC 3200)
Celestica Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB 8x Gold Edition
Maxtor 80GB 6Y080M0 SATA 150 HD (2)
WinXP Pro
Windows is installed and all devices are properly configured...Device
Manager shows no conflicts. However, I am periodically getting a blue
screen stop error stating "page fault in non-paged area". This would
indicate an issue with virtual memory, which points me towards the SATA
controller. I have bios version 4.2.27 or 4.2.47 (can't remember which)
currently on the SATA controller. Silicon Image has a bios version 4.2.50
that is downloadable, but states it is for add-in cards only. ASUS has
nothing for download as far as the Sil3112 bios. All they have are the
drivers and utilities. Has anyone else run into similar problems with
Maxtor drives on the Sil3112 onboard controller on the ASUS boards?
I ran across an "uber" driver. Make sure to back up your bios first, but
this one says it is rev 1013 with SATA Raid bios 4.2.50. I haven't tried
it yet, but good luck!
