Hey guys, i'm stumped.
i5 2500k (back to stock)
16 gigs of corsair ddr3 (memtest'd)
2 x crucial m4 ssds in raid 0 (removed from raid array and formatted)
7970 (not showing any issues)
asrock z68 extreme 4 gen 3 (think this is the problem)
Since yesterday i keep getting very slow lock ups and crashes. It takes a long time to grind to a halt, task manager doesn't work and eventually crashes, everything is unresponsive except the mouse then flash to post where it often doesn't restart.
i reformatted, ran one ssd, ran memtest, no issues on all the easy stuff. Skype has given me an i/o error and it seems to lock up when i make it do reading and writing so i think it might be the sata chip on the motherboard?
Should i try to RMA my motherboard or is there something else i can do??
Thanks guys!
Answered: Ahnilated was right. It was both of my SSDs that died at the same time. nightmare but we figured it out! Thanks!
