My Intel RST RAID array is "rebuilding", do I have a failed disk?

I've tried googling this but haven't found a straightforward answer, or maybe I don't understand the straightforward answer. I have a Samsung 830 SSD as my OS disk and two 2TB Samsung F4 5400 RPM in RAID 1 (Intel RST RAID and ASUS P8P67 mobo) for storage. Two days ago when I booted I got a...

RAID array in a new motherboard

Thank you for your replies. Luckily, the RAID array wasn't a boot disk, just storage. If I understand you correctly, the disks themselves "remember" that they're part of a RAID array? That information isn't stored with the controller? And re-building a raid array won't wipe the disks? That is...

RAID array in a new motherboard

I have two disks set up as a RAID 1 array (mirroring) via the on-board RAID controller of an Asus P8P67 board. And recently my less than week old motherboard broke down and had to go to RMA. Will I be able to restore the raid array without having to wipe the disks when connecting them to a new...

Computer is completely dead, won't boot at all, help please!

I'm RMA-ing the motherboard tomorrow. Here's hoping I'll get a new one before Skyrim is released! Thank you for all your help though, it's very much appreciated.

I've thought about the CPU Fan too, since that's where the trouble started. I've tried with three different fans, but no cigar. Only one of them, the original, has four pins though. Does the system really refuse to start without a CPU Fan?

Done, still nothing. I think I'll give the etailer who sold me the stuff a call tomorrow. This might be a very stupid question but: Does overclocking void warranty?

Thank you for your replies, and thank you moderator for moving this to the correct subforum. When connecting my old system to the PSU, it boots normally, so the PSU doesn't seem to be at fault (the only difference in connectors is that the old system uses a four pin connector to the mobo while...

Yesterday I assembled my new rig. i5 2500K with an Asus P8P67 motherboard. I've done a slight processor overclock (4.0GHz) but no other tampering. There were no initial problems and everything was stable, including massive file transfers and gaming (The Witcher 2). Two times today I got a POST...

Questions about my first RAID array setup

Nice to get input from someone with the same mobo :) Okay, next question, which is a bit off-topic but in the correct subforum: The 8GB 1600MHz Corsair XMS3 sticks I've bought are rated for 1.65v, which the chipset (right?) isn't. How much of a "risk" is it to run them upvolted at 1600MHz...

Questions about my first RAID array setup

Hello there, In a new system I'll use hardware RAID for the fist time. The plan is to have a single SSD for OS and apps (Samsung 830 256GB) and two RAID1 HDDs for the bulk of the data (Samsung F4 EG 2TB). The motherboard I'll be using for this is an Asus P8P67 rev 3.1 board. To enable RAID, the...

Old (but more) memory. Will I see an improvement?

Hi, I have a relatively old computer which was very good when I bought it maybe 2.5 years ago. Core 2 Duo, 8800 GTS, 2 GB ram. I honestly cannot remember more specific stats, I'm writing this from work unfortunately. Anyway, two weeks ago my gpu gave up on me, which was a sad day. I never...

Partitioning a USB-stick?

This question could go in a number of categories. It's got a little Linux, a litte software, a little hardware in it. I'm one of the guys who very soon needs to install a new OS because I'm using Win7 RC1. I have bought Win7 Home Premium but before installing it I'm planning to completely...
