@theyipster- That sounds alot like what happened to me although nvraid would occasionaly report the drive as bad at post. The board would occasionaly even fail to post, which dosent even make sense. It happened out of the blue. My pc locked up one day with no bsod after being stable for a long time. Then a couple of hours later another crash that required a hard reset. Then the board failed to post and after another reset nvraid showed me a bad drive and would not boot into windows. Then it would boot into windows and run fine for a while before nvraid started showing tons of errors on one disk. I finally removed the drive and had to do a complete reinstall. I havent had a problem since. I really like this board. Its served me well. I would wait and see what Amd and Intel has to offer in the coming months
