November 11, 200718 yr Moderator I have a self-built system based on the 875P Neo chipset. Processor is Intel P4 3.0GHz. It was built back in Jan 2004.Booting up this morning a message was displayed saying the CMOS was incorrect. On further investigation neither of my two SATA drives are recognised in the bootup options - just a IDE CD drive. The drives are connected okay and it seems inconceivable that both have failed.I'm guessing that something on the mobo has failed - probably the SATA controller. Given the age of this system I'm finding it difficult to find a suitable mobo.Can anyone recommend a suitable alternative? I'm in no hurry to buy a new system and even when I do this system will be used in a network.Thanks for any help. Ray (Cheshire, England). System: P3D v5.3HF2, Intel i9-13900K, MSI 4090 GAMING X TRIO 24G, Crucial T700 4Tb M.2 SSD, Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero, 32Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000Mhz RAM, Win 11 Pro 64-bit, BenQ PD3200U 32” UHD monitor, Fulcrum One yoke, Fulcrum TQ (pre-production).

November 11, 200718 yr Author Moderator Panic over! Something had changed in the BIOS and had disabled the SATA controller. Phew! Ray (Cheshire, England).
