I have a computer I built and use as a server. I am in the middle of upgrading the MB/CPU /OS. It is an I7 processor in an Asus Rampage 3 formula mainboard. I have Win 7 64 installed but when the raid card is installed and drives attached the system hangs intermittently for several seconds at a time with no obvious reason. The system does not hang up any when the card is installed without drives attached. Anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing this, or how it can be fixed? Thanks.
 
Verify if a Time To Spin Down Idle HDD value has been set in HDD Power Management of Areca GUI
 
Also look at the event log, see if there are any timeouts. It may also be a bad drive that hasn't failed to the extent the controller recognizes it as failed but its causing problems nonetheless. Possible to disconnect all drives but one, then test them one at a time to see if you can narrow it down to a single drive?
 
The array is raid 5, so when I disconnect one, the entire array is disabled. This can be seen in that the array does not show up during post, usually the array can be seen on the screen where it says to hit tab or f6 to go into the raid setup.
