AVG free and RAID

There's your problem. nForce chipset. You have components from nVidia. [/horribly biased and no basis whatsoever in fact - perfect upstairs response]

Actually, to be honest I have no idea what could be causing that. My guess is that your install files got corrupted somehow.

Have you checked the event logs? [/Obvious]

I suspect you've answered your own question with that statement but what the hey. Calmwin works well and is FOSS so you could give that a try and see if you get better luck.

I agree.

Ironic, coming from the wingding. . .

You just got squirted out from a dripping virgin snatch.

Discuss.

I'll give that one a go. So it's ok with raid then you think ?

Do you really believe that this is down to your AV software? You were talking bent pins and things rattling round. Bottom line is that any AV software should be able to work with RAID, the OS simply presents applications with a file system. You don't need a special version of defrag for RAID etc.

Yes it will. If the cables aren't exactly the same length, the data won't be written at exactly the same time and, as such, may not be identical.

Twice.

And weight. . .

and coagulation...

And sound. . .

Is that a bit like a flux capacitor?

Well yes, when you think about it it's obvious. So the cables are identical now except for smell perhaps and i did erase and remake the raid but this time a raid 0 (stripping) as this is faster but at the expense of reliability. Unfortunatly during the XP install i got an error and now get errors with Messenger and C&C 3 doesn't always start up first time. So it's back to the drawing board again to try an get an XP install without any errors but i'll keep the raid at 0.

I suspect my ram to be of cheap quality though and also my drives aren't totally identical. The drives are both seagate baracudda of 80gig but the last few letters (or numbers) of the model are different.

Anyone have a good link to RAID troubleshooting?

Could be one of the drives is. . what I suggest is running as S.M.A.R.T. check on both hard disk drives.

I have to go wash my hands now.

Sinner!!!!

Yes he is. See the post a few up where he talks about bent pins on the CPU mounting. If you can't even get XP to install without errors then I'd say it's fcuked.

@Pike - Run memtest for a few hours and see but frankly I'd not trust that rig as far as I could ram it up the arse of those chunts that run the local bus company. [/Cheeky chunts charging tripple fare to get people home - Fcuk you Stagecoach you bunch of robbing knob jockies]

I know your kind.... My friend that has my old (2000) 1 gig Tbird rig still thinks he can help someone get on the Internet with it....

*blows a rank fart laughing my friggen ass off*

I agree. I just installed it and it got a lot of things AVG missed. Especially with AVG pruning back what they are giving for free.

Also, head over to MajorGeeks and pick up a copy of "Combofix". I am using that now to get rid of some annoying malware that crept its way onto my system (fake antivirus scan popups).

Other Proggies? SuperAntiSpyware helps too.

If it quacks like a duck. . .

the memory was bad, hense the bad windows installs. Have been running it now for nearly a week without errors and even installed RA3. Put 2 x 2gig of kingston ddr2 667 but the only thing is they don't run Dual channel. What % of frame rate do you think i loose by going single channel?
