Hi all,

A couple of days ago i bought a new mobo, cpu and ram. After having some trouble getting raid to work i finally manage to install windows, i installed drivers, including the onboard vga. I wanted to use another vga so i uninstall the onboard vga drivers and reboot.
But after the reboot i cant get past the windows loading screen, can't get in safemode either.
So I figure its something with windows, so i try another cd, installation went ok, I install everything, was using the system for a couple of days but now and then when i was playing starcraft 2 my screen got all vertical lines for a second, then a blue screen and the system rebooted.
I tought it might be my gfx card drivers, so i uninstall them, reboot and ... same problem, windows loading screen freezes and im forced to format because i can't do anything else.

Couple of notes.
- system: Asus M4A89GTD, 4 GB DDR3-1066 OCZ gold, AMD Phenom II X4 965
- Even though Raid0 is working, i do not see my 2 sata samsung drives in the bios in the list of sata drives, is this normal(can only see my dvd)?
- I am currently using a 450W psu, with only the 4pin powercable connected to mobo(instead of 8pin)

What do u guys suggest? Monday im buying a better psu and was thinking of switching the mobo to a gigabyte.

Hi leendert86 ... :) ..:)
first buy a proper PSU...make sure its 80 PLUS Certified..here...

i do not see my 2 sata samsung drives in the bios in the list of sata drives

you should see 1 hard drive listed when you use RAID 0...both drives should be the same size and from the same manufacture...it will then show as 1 drive approximately twice the size of 1 of the drives
