So i built this system the other day with the following specs
Q9450 @2.6 Stock
4gb ddr3 1333 7-7-7-20 1.85v
Evga 790i Ultra
2x Seagate 500gb in Raid0
Evga 9800gx2
Vista64bit Ultimate
First thing first getting the Raid0 setup before Vista install was a nightmare, I ended up putting the drivers on a flash drive. After hours of Installing the OS and Up to date drivers i thought i would be good to go. But that was not the case at all.
After 2 successful boots it started to Hang on startup until it randomly decided to boot to windows 2 restarts later. Windows would be stable for a few hours then BSOD out of no were would hit me in the face. Random Bsod's left and right, and on top of that the thing wouldn't install Windows updates because when it went to shut down and update it would freeze and or BSOD. I have reinstalled about a half a dozen times and the ram seems to be fine from what memtest is telling me. Gah!
