right... so my trusty P965-S board (third PC) has been acting funny for quite sometime now.
It seems like the onboard ICH controller (ICH8R) is completely buggered up since I can't use my USB devices properly. Not only that, its starting to effect the HDDs as well, with random self shutdowns and general I/O date error. But the biggest problem is that USB device will restart itself if I try and copy any files over 400mb onto the USB device.
So here is my question.. can I buy a PCI sata controller and fix that problem??
Has anyone else encountered any similar problems before? I'm thinking of doing a BIOS flash but not sure if it will fix the problem.
btw the board is DFI Infinity P965-S
