My desktop has been acting quite weird for about a week. Sudden BSOD, freeze, and massive performance drop. Took me a while to find out the problem. The problem was I have 2 hard drives that are about to die. My hard drive configuration is Intel ICH9R Raid 0 with 2x WD 150GB Raptor (WD1500AHFD) hard drives. I wasted so many hours hours of my time checking motherboard and testing overclocked CPU, RAM, and GPU. Since I striped the hard drives I didn't get any warning from SMART. I run WD diagnostic tool Lifeguard on both hard drives. Both of them failed. I got error code: 0007 and code: 0101 on one drive. The other drive is no longer recognizable. What are the odds of getting 2 hard drives failing nearly at the same time...
I am going to call WD tech in the morning to get RMA. Glad it comes with 5 year warranty.
