Anyone know what's wrong with this RAID setup?

I have done two complete clean installs and I keep getting the error message below every time I boot up.

I formatted in NTFS, loaded the latest nvidia raid drivers from the msicomputer site during the windows instal, installed SP1, then all the motherboard drivers (nvidia drivers) and then the video card, then the sound card.

Anyone know how I can fix this? Specs in signature.

Post the technical error report section. That has more info in it. It is the blue link in the error message that says "click here" for more info.
 
I'm not familiar with the Nvidia motherboards, but on some other controllers, the BIOS version and the driver version has to match.
 
I can't seem to cut and paste nor expand the error report se ction...it does refer to this text though.

If you let me know the part of the error page to go to, I can take a snapshot

Here's the beginning:

The first DLL listed advapi32.dll the size is wrong by MS DLL help database. You are showing a size of 558080 where MS is showing it should be 549,888. I wonder where the size difference comes from?

I was going threw this site looking at the DLL's listed in your error message. Most were showing wrong sizes.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/servicedesks/fileversion/dllinfo.asp


You didn't state why you were reloading windows! But with all the checksum errors showing on that error report. I would run memtest86 before anything else and see if you have a stick of memory that has died.

Also throw us out some system spec's So we know what you are working with.
 
Hmm, I figured the nvidia drivers just replaced those. I have the system listed in my sig. Using winXP proffessional. I just tried to remove and upgrade the vid drives and that's not it either.

I wouldn't know why those files would be wrong. I did the clean installs due to this problem.

I'll try removing some of the sticks of ram and booting up.

EDIT: I tried taking out each ram stick and rebooting and same thing happens.

Installing SP2 in previous installations didn't help either.

I am totally lost =/
 
Are you doing any overclocking? On the [H] review of this board. They noted that the PCI/AGP divider lock didn't work properly. This lead to corruption of the SATA drives at higher FSB settings.

Myself when I load windows on a system. I only use one stick of memory. I have seen Windows do weird things with large amounts of memeory on installs.
 
No overlocking at all. I might try as you say to install with just one stick of mem though.
 
try 2 things
using a different install disc
and using a different cd-rom drive

i've seen something very similer happen before because of a cd-rom drive that was Just starting to go out and was not preforming the error corecting right.

also
try installing onto a normal PATA hd with teh raid array as secondary storage
if that works fine and the system is stable
ghoast everything to the raptors and try booting from them

ALSO
call abit and ask them about known config issues
on an abit mobo i used to have the system would not post if it a had a combination of mem sticks including 2 512's 1 256 and 1 128....
any other combination worked fine
but this one caused the machine to fail to post every time
