I'm not entirely sure on what you want to do. But: You cannot a Firewire motherboard header to a USB port or motherboard header The voltages are different = you can't use a Firewire header to power USB stuff

System cannot normally boot from My base hard disk.

Under "Main" --> "SATA configuration" Then set "SATA configuration" to "Enhanced" Next disable the Jmicron or Marvell SATA to PATA controller "Advanced" --> "Onboard device configuration" Then select the Jmicron/Marvell controller and set it to "Disable" (Hope that the images will display correctly) -

OK once having some trouble with a Asus P5K motherboard myself (not the pl-am/ps version however) I think you should first try to disable the on-board PATA to SATA controller (made by ether Jmicron or Marvell I think) Maybe the motherboard it disabling your SATA 3 and 4 ports because it set to use them with the SATA to PATA controller. So it will kick both your 2TB HDD and 500GB but only give your a warning about the 2TB as that's the boot drive -

Wait... Just realized that my old desktop was a 1.6GHz Celeron socket LGA775 in a cheap ECS motherboard!

Ok. The last thing I want to do as a new forum user is to post pointless crap :D

Well if the forum is already flooded with threads about this should I so (if a can) delete this thread?

So some times hardware conflicts happen. And two or more pieces of hardware just won't work together in the same system. So what it the worst hardware configuration or combination you ever seen/had. Ether due to extreme bottle necking or just terrible performance with parts that should work fine? I once tried to run two IDE HDD (one 40GB and a 160GB Maxtor) off the integrated SATA to PATA controller on a Asus P5K motherboard. To be honest this feature was probably only meant to be used for DVD drives. Because of that the performance was absolutely terrible! Vista wouldn't work as it would completely freeze up before I had any kind of chance of installing the driver for the SATA to PATA controller. I got it to work on XP but every time it needed to access something on the other disk the computer just hang for a few seconds. There was also this weird problem that if I opened a folder with a file lager then about 1GB explore would crash and restart. But I was able to copy the folder itself to a USB stick and the read the file! So do you have any Tech stories like this? (see what I did there)

Also betting on that its the harddrive. By the way what HDD are you using? Maybe also try to reinstall your chipset driver?

When the computer turns off, does it then turn on shortly after? If it does try to go into the BIOS and there might be a setting called something like "On power loss --> Last state. Stay off. power on" (Last state = if the computer was off when power was lost it will stay off. If it was on while the power was lost, it will turn on again) Set it to "Stay off" or what ever its is called in your BIOS If its not that cheap'o PSU the I think its the ram...

Not being an expert of any kind. But I think that its related to the SSD Reading a little on a few forums, other people have reported spontaneous reboots with no BSOD http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Solid-State-Drives-SSD/RealSSD-C300-Random-reboots-using-AHCI-IDE-is-OK/td-p/36852 Also as they mentioned in the thread, maybe its a dodgy SATA cable (Linus ones had a SSD problem because of a dodgy SATA cable, can't remember what his issue was though) Or it may just be a firmware conflict between the SSD and motherboard If it is not SSD related the I think its the ram Could you say exactly what motherboard, and SSD you are using (Firmware and BIOS version could also possibly help, but don't know) And maybe also try to swap the SSD with a spare HDD to see if it keep rebooting.
