Hi guys first post here, I hope I can explain this well enough.

Ok so I built my PC in mid december 2015, My setup is with 2 120GB SSD's on RAID 0 and
1, 1 TB HHD. I had Windows 10 Pro and drivers on the RAID and my steam games on the HHD.

I only use this PC for games so i setup steam mover so i can move a game to the raid when i play them since i don't have a lot of space on the RAID.

So it has worked great for the last month, Until last night it was working fine, I shut my PC down to go to bed but could'nt sleep so turned my PC on 30-40 min later and it started with the windows screen "loading" like the dots in a circle as if it were an update. I sign in and none of my icons are there just intel driver utility and a couple of other things as if it reset but not all the way.

I restart and realize it was booting from the HHD and not the RAID.

I restart and realize there are 2 non-raid discs so i open up CRTL+I and see that there is no RAID volume setup, Then i made the RAID volume again but Windows don't see it and boot options shows the RAID as seperate drives and i cant boot from them.

Also when i went into bios after this the bios asked what language i'm wondering if the bios reset somehow.

A few things;

A. What would cause the RAID to "unraid" itself
B. How can i get Windows to see this RAID
C. I will consider better setups and critcizm for the way I did but i want to understand why this happened first.

You should never RAID an SSD with any other drive, it'll cause instability. That's why Windows automatically un-raids the drives.
