Guys i need help please....After adding a RAID 0 array to an existing RAID1 array, i get freezing in WIN7. This is the exact issue im having:

"In the last month I have built a new desktop PC around an ASUS P7H57D-V EVO motherboard with an i7-860. Since day 1 I have been having serious issues with stability in Windows when I have 2 RAID arrays enabled. If I only have my primary OS array enabled, I have no stability issues.



This board, while not an intel mobo, has only intel RAID, so I turn to you for assistance. Device manager calls it the Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/DO/5 Series/3400 Series SATA RAID Controller. Google suggests that this board is using the ICH10R flavor.



I have 1 RAID0 array that is my primary OS drive.

I have a 2nd RAID1 array that is my backup drive.



When the second RAID array is enabled (tried both RAID1 and 0), Windows (Win 7 Ultimate 64bit) will freeze after 10+ minutes of use. This initially manifests itself as my internet "going out". While I can open new tabs in the browser, I cannot connect. I can't ping via CMD either. I can't open Task Manager, but I can open Event Viewer (and nothing really is shown in there re: this). If I try to Log Off or Restart the PC via Start Menu, Windows hangs on the "Logging Off" or "Shutting Down" screen for at least 10 minutes, up to several hours (or indefinitely).

Any ideas?
