Evga 680i A1 Raid 0 locking up?

[halcyon]

Just picked up an Evga 680i A1 mobo and Q6600 chip. I have 2 74GB Raptors in Raid-0 with Windows XP installed. The installation goes flawlessly, even installing all the drivers seems fine. However once I start installing World of Warcraft (no puns here please ), the system will randomly lockup anywhere between disc1 and the burning crusade dvd. It is never in the same place so it is not a media problem, I tried a IDE dvd drive which didn't solve it either. However I did try windows XP on a single raptor and WoW installed there without a hitch.

The lockups are strange too, the installer becomes unresponsive, then the other sections of the OS become unresponsive when clicked on..

Any thoughts/ideas? Banging my head on the wall here.. using the latest posted nvidia drivers (seem really old though, from 2006)...

Using the latest BIOS (7/2007)?

Both drives are known OK?

Check evga's site for drivers as well.

Ya I am running the P30 bios and the 9.53 drivers from Nvidia's website.

I ran the western digital drive utility from ultimatebootcd, extended test, on both drives and they passed. I installed XP on one by itself yesterday without incident.. trying it now on the other drive but going smoothly so far.
