My machine: i7-4790K OC @ 4.5GHz, MSI Gaming 5 Z97 mobo, MSI GTX 980Ti 6G, 16GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz, 2X250GB Samsung EVO 850 SSD in RAID 0 + 1TB WD Caviar Blue HDD
So I was opening up Rise of the Tomb Raider just now (great game btw, played it yesterday) and the display went bonkers, crazy colors everywhere, and froze (also the debug LCD on the mobo that usually shows CPU temp froze reading "36"), so I forced a shutdown by holding the power button. When I booted back up, first it gave a message saying all settings were reset to default values, and gave an option to F1 Enter setup or F2 Continue, so I hit F2. Then it showed the BIOS prompt and then said "No operating system detected" or the like, my CPU/RAM speeds are showing to be back at stock speeds (4.0GHz and 1333MHz respectively), and lo and behold, my RAID array is showing as two separate drives.
So what I'm trying to get at here is that I need to tell my PC that drive C is a RAID 0 array made up of the two SSDs but I don't want to reformat the drives as is the default process. Is there any way to save my data or do I have to go back a couple weeks to the last backup I made (please God no)? Also, was this a mobo issue? It seemed like it to me, since the temp display froze and all values went back to default, no?

No idea why it worked...
