Got a pair of 500GB seagate SATAII drives on newegg, with the intention of striping them as the boot partition for windows as well as installing all of my games on it as well
after installing vista with no issues, and applying most of the windows updates, i'm getting this error upon startup:
now, before you all jump the gun and claim I need to do a chkdsk, or reformat/reinstall, or claim i have bad ram, you need to realize this is a common problem right now for people running RAID0 with 4GB of RAM on Gigabyte boards using the RAID0 setup for their windows install
anyway, when I boot into safemode, and then boot back into windows... I'd say 50% of the time windows will boot without any problems
It's clearly an issue with the combination of RAID0 with Windows installed on it, Vista 64bit, 4GB of RAM (removing 1 or 2 sticks stops the issue from occuring, it doesn't matter which sticks I remove, I've tried all of them, meaning none of my ram sticks are damaged)
Has anyone here had this issue, and know of a fix/bios update?
I had Vista Ultimate 64bit installed on this same machine prior to using the two new harddrives, and never once saw this error. my other harddrives that I used prior to setting up the RAID, were IDE drives however.
my system:
gigabyte ga-p35c-ds3r
intel q6600 @ 3.2 (400x8)
microsoft windows vista ultimate 64bit
4x1GB DDR2-800 @ 4-4-4-15
