Hi,
I'm having some very strange issues with my brand new Intel Desktop Board DZ68BC (newest BIOS) paired with a Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad-Port Server Adapter (newest ROM) (NIC card ID: 39Y6136 PCIE GEN2)
Every now and then after a restart or cold boot, the card won't be getting ANY power from the PCI-E 16x port. I tried to move it from the top one to the bottom one, but the behavior is the same. Another restart or two gets the card going again. This happens with two different cards, and with both tested in the two different ports. But very randomly.
These NIC's worked fine in a HP G7 ESX server for a year without any issues.
My RAID controller works flawlessly in either 16x slot btw...
I know it's a real server part and that my "server" is nothing more than a fancy PC, so maybe i'm just asking for trouble here...and getting it!
But have anyone here experienced this, or maybe have an idea on how to fix this. Maybe recommend me another board than the intel DZ68BC, i can find another purpose for it, i just liked it because of the onboard video....and the fact that it's an intel, and i didnt really need a overly expensive ASUS ROG Extreme ++.
my setup:
intel i7 2600K CPU
Intel Desktop Board DZ68BC
32768 MB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
IBM ServeRAID M5015 controller with 512mb cache and IBBU08 BBU
Intel Pro/1000 PT Quad Port Server adapter
8x WD RE4 7200Rpm 2TB SATA drives in RAID5 (WD2003FYYS)
3x OCZ SSD's running off the motherboards onboard controllers
Fractal Design Define R4 midi-tower
Corsair H100i CPU watercooler (exausts from case through 2x 120mm fans in top)
3x Corsair AP140 Quiet 140mm case fans (two intakes in front, one exaust)
Corsair AX750W Gold PSU
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Right now im using two Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter´s Teamed (LACP), and it's not the worst setup, but i really like those quad NIC's, and i got them for free.
