Quad core motherboard

[jangoux]

Hey,

My PC started giving all sorts of data corruption errors on my 4 hds at the same time (just dont ask why 4 hard disks hehe). So I narrowed the problem down to 3 parts : Power supply, memory, motherboard. Tomorrow ill be buying a new PS (currently have an AKASA one), then ill try other memory and lastly, if nothing works, i guess it is the mobo. I currently have a asus P5B premium VE, with built in firewire (TI chipset), but those arent being sold anymore in Brazil. So is there anything else you would recommend with built in firewire (TI) ?

Thanks,
Ivan

what sorts of data corruption?

I just did a build for my bass player with a Gigabyte GA-P55-UD2 motherboard. It has an LGA1156 socket for i5 and i7 quad core CPUs and firewire.

Loose sata cables are bad for that

Yeah, makes sense to check the cheapest component first.

data corruption is usually the result of viruses, registry errors or the typical bad sata cable. unless there is something catasphrophically wrong with the motherboard or ram could that happen, but you would be having other problems if not an already 100% HDD failure from such mobo defectiveness.
