P5ND2-SLI Deluxe Raid 0/SATA problem.. maybe? Help!
2 weeks ago I build a new computer for my college work (3d/2d/flash animator) and fun.
P4 3.6 gig 2meg L2 cache 64 bit support
Asus P5ND2-Sli Deluxe
2 200 Gig Seagate Barracuda 8.7200 sata drives in a raid 0 array
Creative Labs Audigy 4 Pro
BFG Geforce 6800 Ultra
Enermax 600 watt power supply
1 gig Kingston Hyper-X ddr2 667
Coolermaster Stacker with 3 120mm fans and 3 80mm fans plus cross flow fan
Swiftech liquid cooling with Asetek cpu waterblock
Windows installed fine, drivers updated, updated windows, and installed programs. Temps for cpu 35-40 C and motherboard 25 C. Periodically my computer just freezes and the HD LED pulses. I thought I had a HD problem so I ran every test in the book from surface to file integrity but everything is fine. Updated my bios, nforce4 drivers, and I searched the internet all over but I can't seem to figure this out or even what might be causing it. Is this maybe a SATA or RAID 0 problem? If I need to return something I want to figure this out before my return polocy is up. I thought it was when I was running too many programs or disk examining things like antivirus while unzipping because it froze up but it also freezes if I leave the computer on over night and it is just frozen but I do have mouse movement. I defragged my raid array, I checked my memory, I set the timings to optimal 4-4-4-10 because it comes factory at 4-4-4-12 latency. I've been monitoring my temps and its an ice box. If anyone can help I would be greatful even if you can just lead me in the right direction.
Thanks
Update - HD LED always pulses when the computer is idle =/
