SR-X has failed!

think its time to sell my SR-X board and get something better/working

Anybody try on an SR2?

windows 10 with sr-2 no problems with the board, lots of little things on some programs to fix or run in compatibility modes but nothing major.

i have win10 pro x64 on my sr2, Works really good.

Has anyone tried installing Windows 10 on their system with the SR2? Did you have any problems? I'd like to make the jump, but I'm curious if it will work well.
 
Thanks!

Works here!
 
Only thing is GPU drivers.
 
Games crash when i exit them, damn NVIDIA drivers!

SR-2 working good in Win 10 here too. But then I looked at my event logs. Does anyone else have this error over and over again?
 
A corrected hardware error has occurred.

Class Code: 0x30000
The details view of this entry contains further information.
 
That's what I get for being curious. Many of the posts on the Internet suggest some type of conflict between a hardware driver and the Intel Chipset drivers.

Thanks for the response everyone! It sounds like I shouldn't have any major issues running WIN10. I'll do the install and I'll post my results as well. :)

Recently a Windows 8.1 update that screwed my system convinced me to reinstall the whole system from scratch. Finally, I decided to make the switch to Windows 10 at the same time. Device manager doesn't show any device driver missing. Those who have already installed Win10, can you tell me if you installed any driver that's been available from Evga: chipset, sata/esata, Marvel/Intel Raid, network, audio, USB 3.0? Should I bother install any of them?
 
I have noticed my USB 3.0 is now much faster than when I was on Win 8.1. Do you have similar experience?
 
 
I have also made a series of significant hardware upgrades: X5690, 2X 1TB Samsung 850 Pro and, 96GB of ECC Registered Ram is on the way! 

If anyone in Europe would like to part with his/her SR-2/X because of Winblows 10 then I'm most certainly interested. :D

I'm using one to type this comment.  It's still as powerful as it ever was.  Dig this:
 
holdon, it's stripping a URL.  Let me try something...
 

 

Cheers, good luck with the sale

Do yourself a huge favour and put in a decent motherboard. Some variant of Supermicro X8DTH will almost certainly serve you better, especially for a server.

If you have an older SR style EVGA motherboard that still works you can use this as a server but if you want more up to date CPUs then you will need another motherboard as suggested here.
