Faulty Hardware??

[jmuth197]

Hello, I am building a RAID using gaming hardware because I need speeds that only gaming hardware can put out. The specs are listed below.

OCZ 1000W PSU
Asus p9x79
Kingston 16gb RAM
250GB Sata WD re4 OS drive
20 x 2tb Western Digitial HDD
24port RAID controller
nvidia crap video card
4 other PCI devices

when the pc is turned on it will randomly display no bootable device, and when taken to the bios the cd rom and os hdd will not be detected by the bios, when restarted the computer will boot to windows 7 pro 64bit just fine. When in windows, the computer will randomly freeze with lines in the display and you must force restart.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

What devices are connected directly to the SATA ports on the motherboard and what are connected to the ports on the RAID controller?

Also, what other devices do you have plugged into the motherboard's PCIe slots?

Are you attempting to overclock anything?
