Weird problem, I run an abit IC7 - G with a segate 120g sata hard drive, i used to have the system at 233 fsb before the sata so i know all the current hardware in there can perform at that speed, but now when i tried to up the fsb it does not detect my sata harddrive. I am fairly certain i have the latest bios updates as well. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I'm pretty sure that it is your northbridge/southbridge (i forget which is responsible for sata) that is overheating, i have read into this a little and found that most people cure this problem by moving the heatsink from their northbridge to their southbridge (usualling attaching it with thermal tape as there aren't usualy any holes for it) they then put a bigger HSF on their Northbridge (which has holes for it) I know this info is a litle sketchy but is all I can remember, can anyone else help? Merry Christmas!
