Well I have one problem posted here already, please take a look:

Okay, now for the 2nd problem. I installed 2 WD800 80gig SATA drives in my computer. I plugged them into SATA ports 3 and 4 becuase they are locked so I can overclock. My system is not overclocked right now though. Alright, when I have them both hooked up, whenever I need to reboot, the screen turns black like it should, and then the HDD activity LED lights up and remains lit and my system never reboots. It just sits there. Now I have to hold the reboot button in for it to work again, and sometimes that doesn't even work I have to turn the power off and let the system sit for about 5 min. Now when I let the system sit for 5 min and then I turn the power back on, the machine turns on all by itself. I don't even have to push the power button as I normally would have to. This all seems a bit wierd, how can adding 2 harddrives alter my computer power up/down sequences..
If I take out the power cord and the data cord for one of the drives and then start to work with the system, I do not have these problems at all. The machine boots up/down and reboots fine. When I add the 2nd drive back in, I get the problems all over again.
One thing I have noticed when I have both drives hooked up and it hangs when I reboot is that the harddrives stop spinning. When they stop spinning and the HDD LED is lit, and I hold the reboot button, it may come back and I may be able to get to the bios, but the Harddrives never start spinning again. So I have to either reboot, which usually doesn't work or I have turn off the power and wait for 5 and then turn the power back on.
I have no idea what the source of the problem is, I think it may be bios related, like its not commanding the harddrives to spin when I reboot. I have Sata ports 3 and 4 enabled in the bios and I have Sata RAID for 3 and 4 enabled becuase I want the drives in RAID 0.
All in all, I can't seem to isolate the problem, how can adding in one drive alter my computer so much? Any solutions would be greatly accepted.
