I setup two (2) 200GB hard drives (SATA) in a raid-0 on a nforce 3 based board. The system also contains an 80GB boot drive (IDE - contains XP) and a 250GB drive (IDE). It has been up and running for about three weeks or so. Now it reads "detecting array..." and just sits there. I can't even get into the bios at startup.

I've removed the new stick of memory, reset all the drive cables, and still no luck. Also updated bios to latest version.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Any help would be very nice as I need this machine up and running.

unplug the RAID array, reset the BIOS, disable RAID, shut down the machine then add the new memory stick. have it post with the new stick correctly then plug the array back and set BIOS correctly.
