I'm about to bite my toe off.

I am attempting to set up a RAID 0 on my computer

Motherboard: P9x79 Deluxe

I have 4 identical seagate barracuda 3tb drives, 3 of which were new and 1 already in the machine being used as storage. A samsung 840 pro 256g SSD is being used as the boot drive.

I enabled RAID in the bios
hit ctrl + i to set up the drives and when i exit the config i get the blue screen crash.

To try and fix myself i went back and changed SATA mode back to IDE just to try and get back to desktop, still get the blue screen.

I have tried to disconnect the drives, still get the blue screen crash.

I have looked all over and saw that i possibly needed to install some SATA drivers before trying to set up raid, though if this were the case i can get back into windows to apply these drivers

Also when i run through the steps of changing the SATA settings back to IDE and save and exit i am presented with the "System unstable. Your CPU Ratio May Be down at 12x due to unsuitable conditions" message. which i have seen can be RAM issues, in which case i have 64g of corsair vengeance 1600mhz ddr3.

Also once again not sure if this has anything to do with this issue, but my idle temp is around 40 degrees celcius, which seem high, even with a H60 water cooler, which i know isn't the best but i would have imagined better temps.

Im new to the custom pc world, but i love learning :)  thanks to any help

Tried loading BIOS defaults?

If after that you still Bluescreen try changing the IDE to AHCI.

ok. resetting the bios to optimized defaults fixed the crash issue, so now i can get into windows.

Now every time I change the SATA mode to RAID i just get the blue screen crash at the starting windows screen. Is there something large i am missing, like driver updates or some step that for whatever reason i am not doing? I am just following what other tutorials tell me to do.

Thank you gaborbarla !

I had the same problem but after restoring Bios defaults, the operating system loaded again without the BSOD.
