Ok so I just got my SSD and installed windows 7 (took me 3 trys to set it up perfect I don't want to redue it again, it cant be good for my drive) on it and had my 2 other WD Blacks for other files (Games, DL's, some drivers, ETC). I installed skype, AMD 11.4 drivers, HW monitor, CPU-Z on my HDD's (nothing important) So I decided to raid0 my 2 drives. I did and it deleted everything on them and tried to boot up only to get a BSOD. I tried IDE & ACHI and still BSOD. I tried to delete the raid0 config. and still get a BSOD..

I dont want to reinstall windows 7 on my SSD and set it up all over again. Is there a way to fix this? My HDD's had nothing important on them so I dont understand why i'd get a BSOD on bootup.. Would appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Is your SSD set up in ACHI mode? Could be a bad stick of ram, try switching the ram by using only one stick in a different slot, and vice versa.

Yea.

Another possibility is that your overclock might be unstable. Have you tried to reset bios?

Bad sata cable, or port. Try using a different sata cable.

Lol i'll try that, but I dont think thats the issue either. Could it be I didnt have the raid config. drivers? I didn't install anything.

The only thing I dont get about this is why would it BSOD??? WHY? I didn't have anything on my HDD's except junk.. Music,League of legends, HWmonitor, GPU-Z,AMD 11.4 Drivers, Skype, Razer mamba&lycosa drivers, Avast antivirus, and I think thats about it. Nothing that should cause a BSOD if deleted tho.

Yes, raid drivers are necessary. What you need to do is download the raid drivers from another computer, put them on a flash drive. Boot with your Windows 7 CD, and theres an option to choose to install (load) drivers when you do a Custom windows installation.

What BSOD error are you getting? I'm making some assumptions:

All this hardware has been working in your rig

Your overclock is stable

The SSD is the only new part

So you reset your CMOS and deleted the RAID and it's still getting a BSOD?

Need more info Bro. It sounds offhand that you have a failed overclock and/or a bad SATA port as mentioned above by Stealth

He doesn't need to boot from his Win 7 DVD to install raid drivers, unless he's running a RAID on his boot drive. I thought the WD Blacks were just for data.

Just copy the drivers to a USB and load them like any other utility software.

Write down the BSOD error code and find out what it is here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff542347.aspx

I'm a little out of date on my troubleshooting skills. LoL

Have you tried switching SATA cables, and SATA ports? Can you even get into BIOS before the BSOD?

Disconnect the WD drives completely. Boot with one stick of memory. Take your rig to the minimum and if you have to, reset the CMOS one more time. Disconnect the AC cord and short the pins or hold the button for several seconds. Remove the CMOS battery if you have to. Then load fail-safe defaults or factory defaults from the BIOS. If THAT doesn't work, I'd have to say that your Windows 7 install is corrupted

You can try to use the Win 7 install disk and try to repair it. There is an option whether to load it fresh or repair. Try the repair option.

i tried differnet sticks of ram and I dc/ed the WD drives already. i'll try a new sata slot and reset CMOS again. but if this doesnt help ill just do a fresh install... Again
