Here is my rig:

Mobo: GAP45-UD3P
CPU: Q6600 OC'd to 3.2ghz Linx stable for 50 runs
HD: x2 250gb in raid 0 via intel ports on mobo
ram: 8gb gskill ddr2 800
video: 4850x2 2gb
PSU: Corsair 550hx

I left my PC on for 2 hours, the monitor turned off after 30 mins, and the PC went to sleep after 60 minutes.

I come back to my PC, figure its sleeping, press the power button and nothing happens...no lights, no fans spin, nothing.

I open the case up, and pop the CMOS battery out, wait 30 seconds and it turns on and boots. After my DMI Pool screen, it says missing OS.....I go into the BIOS and reset my HD modes to Raid and my raid array has failed.

I take the drives out of raid and pop in my vista cd, and it takes 3 hours for it to load the first screen up...I turn it off come back this morning, and was able to re-install everything normally without issue.

What the hell happened? :-(

Sounds like the psu had a hiccup and trashed alot of settings. Please list PSU
 
I think you meant 550VX, HX.

Anyway, sounds like a mobo issue or fluke or even fucked up RAID
