First my current setup...
AMD Phenom II 940 @ 3.6 1.40v, 2.2 HTT/NB @ stock voltage
DFI LANPARTY DK 790GX-M2RS w/ latest BIOS (of course)
G.Skill F2-8500CL5-2GBPK (2x2GB @ 5-5-5-15-48 2.1v)
Visiontek Radeon HD 4850 @ 675/1125
2x74gb Raptors in RAID 0 128k Stripe (only used for games)
1x640gb WD640AAKS as main
So the issue...
On my old system which was an AMD 6000+ and a DFI Lanparty nf590 ultra board, I was also running the 2 raptors in a RAID 0 in vista x64 and I didn't have any issues that I can remember. However as soon as I built my new system with vista x64, I noticed that when installing certain games to my RAID my entire system would just lock up and I would have to kill the power and just keep trying and eventually it would install. It only occurs when installing something to it, and certain games seem to cause it more so than others, such as I physically could never install the Company of Heroes multiplayer balance test to it, but other games would be ok. Once a game is installed there is never any issues and I ran the WD HD test utility with no errors coming up so my question to everyone is if they think it's the controller on the motherboard having an issue or it's possibly one of the raptors. I wouldn't doubt that one of them are damaged since one came out of a friend's PC that I know for sure had some PSU issues but just seems strange the issue only has been occurring since my system upgrade. Also, I didn't have any of components of my system OC'd just until recently so I know that's not causing it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
