motherboard can't detect intel X18m?

update* the bios has detected the intel ssd, however whenever i try saving the setting the DRAM LED lights up and the whole system would just reboot.

hm anyone? it seems i can't save my bios settings. i tried changing the battery but didnt work.

Try changing the SATA port of your SSD. Make sure it is connected to one of the intel x58 sata ports and not a JMicron one.

its connected to my SATA 6 port atm. but i'm having trouble detecting the SSD from time to time.

i tried them all. the bios have a lottery going on. 3/4 times it won't detect my ssd

if you do not try to use the SSD, can you make changes in the BIOS & have them be saved properly?

If not your board is toast and needs to be RMA'ed. Forget about the SSD for now - get the BIOS issues sorted first, or you won't get anywhere.

everytime i press save and exit in bios, the DRAM LED on the mobo lights up red and the whole thing just restart.

sounds like a mobo problem to me. RMA time.

could be - try removing all but 1 stick, and re-try. Then change slots one by one, then change sticks and repeat. Not going to be easy to narrow the issue down though - any error could be either RAM, cpu or board.

A memtest run might also be a good idea...

i did the ram testing and still won't save.

so much for sata 6 and usb 3
