No POST, cannot decect RAID array

[burnin_squirrrl]

So I had just installed Skyrim and it locked up about 20 min in. Could not do anything so I hard shutdown my computer. Restarted a minute later and played again for about 40 min and locked up again. After I shut it down it would go though a cycle of either booting to windows and locking up a min or two in or not booting to windows at all.

I was just going to format my drives since it is all backed up but now I cannot even get to the BIOS because I gets to detecting the hard drives and just sits at "Detecting Array..." (I had a RAID 0 setup) and just sits there. If I leave it alone for awhlile I can sometimes get it past the "detecting" but still does not load to windows.

My setup is as follows:
-ASUS Striker II Formula
-Intel QX9650 Quad Core 3.0ghz
-Western Digital Caviar WD7500AAKS (2x750gb)
-Corsair Crucial Ballistix DDR2 (4x1gb)
-EVGA GTX 460 SE

Not sure if I have a failing hard drive problem or if I have a motherboard problem. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

unplug both hard drives and see if you can get into the bios to get to your raid settings. Maybe someting there got messed up. If the settings are correct shut down and plug the drives back in and try again.
