After a power outage here I’m getting RAID errors like crazy. Since I have no parity I’m going to lay low until I can get a 1TB backup drive ordered. I’m also ordering another 250GB so I can use RAID5 on the reinstall.
The problem is sporadic (it’s fine right now) so might play some but I can’t guarantee any activity until early next week. HL2.exe was freezing my system earlier tonight so I proabably have to reinstall it before playing anyway.
Backed up user’s files, stopped bad services and startups, reinstalled Nvidia chipset drivers. Computer now works.
/End Remedy Log
Apparently the 680i has RAID trouble with certain BIOS revisions and chipset storage drivers. It’s mainly a false positive error that causes the Nvidia RAID service to freak out and start causing all sorts of problems.
It’s working (now) so hopefully my troubles are over.
Here’s the knock on wood, my array is still acting up randomly. As soon as my order comes in I’m going to backup and reformat. Bright side is that I wanted to install Vista64 anyway.
