asus rampage 2 extreme

intel i7-965

xfx hd 5970 black edition

Corsair Dominator GT 2000mhz

ASUS XONAR XENSE 7.1 Sound Card

ok il give u the full story. i have 3 pci expess in the top 1 there my gpu in the 2 there nothing and in the 3 my sound card.

so i put my raid card in the 2 pci slot and when i started the pc up it bios hangs. tryed fiding with the bios nothing. I swoped

my sound card with the raid card the pc boots and im at my desktop boot my raid card is not working. so i swop my gpu and raid card the

same thing it boot in but duz not work. so i have a bit of a google about and come to the conclusion that it a blank card ther no bios on it

so i got the up to date bios and folow the instructions to install the bios. and i cant install it haha.

ok you have to put all the file on to a memory stick and booted to the stick and it opens win95 or 98. and opens me to a command prompt

and then you type AFU.EXE to install the bios and it says no known controllers detected. quitting. lol . so i do some more googleing and get

no were. iv been emailing adaptec and thay want £50 off me so i thort id ask hir to see if any 1 can help any advice will be gratefully received.

ps if i cant fix it haz any 1 got a hammar i can borrow!!! haha thx
 
Sounds like the adaptec card may be dead. Have you ever had it work properly? I have the same card, and it works fine in both my sabertooth X58 and X58 Classified. If the controller isn't being detected, go back to the store you bought it from to test it properly.
