So I just did a fairly complete rebuild on my system... went from an AMD rig to an Intel rig, added another VelociRaptor to run RAID 0, etc... in any case, it's all together now. Here's the issue:

Whenever I restart the computer (except for when it restarts after exiting the BIOS), in order to get it to POST again, I have to run through the whole "power the system on and off 3 times" deal. No exceptions, even with every BIOS setting at default. Any thoughts?
 
Did you set up the RAID configuration prior to having these issues?

Have you've tried following some of the instructions listed in the troubleshooting sticky?
 
Power source, Power Supply, or Mobo issue, me thinks. Though, you could run memtest to rule out the RAM.

Do you have a line conditioner or UPS w/ AVR for the system?
Have you tried another PSU?
When you benchtested the system outside of the case and with only the bare essentials, did it exhibit this problem?
 
Well I fiddled around with it a bit and got things to work... it looks to have been something to do with having both 4870x2's installed without any drivers yet (obviously as I had not yet installed Windows). Things are good now... although now (even though both cards work fine individually) I can't get both of them to show up at once. Seems more like a driver issue I need to work out than motherboard related though.
