First off let me list the components of the computer in question.
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth P67
Ram:CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 Model CMZ4GX3M2A1600C8 (2 of these kits for total of 8GB)
GPU: EVGA 012-P3-1578-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) Classified 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 VTX3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive
HDD's: Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive and
Western Digital RE4 WD1003FBYX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Enterprise Hard Drive -Bare Drive
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
CPU Cooler: Corsair H80
Case: NZXT Phantom (Pink Edition, She likes pink and so we named the computer Pink Taco lol)
PSU: COOLER MASTER Silent Pro RS850-AMBAJ3-US 850W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V v2.92 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
So I did a favor for a friend. I helped her to build her current rig (Parts Mentioned Above) and now that 6 months later she decides that she needs more speed/space so she orders a second OCZ Vertex 3 drive. Well it arrived yesterday and I install it with the first Vertex SSD and go to boot from the windows install disc (I changed the settings in the UEFI BIOS to RAID for the drives instead of AHCI) and i get to the point in the windows install where it asks you for what language you want to install and all of that. The problem is that for some reason, right before it gets to that screen, the lights and lcd screen on her Logitech G510 keyboard and on her Razer Deathadder mouse shut off and both become unresponsive. I cant get past that part. I even tried to switch it back to AHCI and remove the second SSD just so I can format the original SSD (As it was still loaded with windows on it). I was able to format the second drive from within windows but thats as far as I have been able to get. I made sure that both drives are up to date with the latest firmware from OCZ which they are since I flashed them. Do you think that If I use the same OCZ utility to secure erase the first SSD and then try this with both drives blank that it might work? Im hesitant to do this unless its required because as of right now the computer is still useable. Windows still boots on the original drive, but if I format the drive then I run the risk of this problem still happening but not being able to use the computer at all until I figure this out. Any and all help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys.
