Hey guys,

I'm running the 64 bit windows 7 on my computer that I built about two months ago. Recently, I installed two spinpoint f3's and put them in a RAID 0 and use those to boot out of. Ever since then, about 70% of my startups blue screen on me saying the pqrl (or something like that) is not less_than_or_equal_to. Is booting out of a RAID a bad idea, or is this something completely different? I've reinstalled windows 7 four times and each to no avail with these blue screens. Any suggestions?

Note: Before I changed the HDDs I had a WD caviar green as my boot drive and only drive for that matter and I don't think it ever had start up issues.

I boot from a 4 drive RAID 10 with no problems. Even after I just changed out my Mobo. Before that, i booted from two in a RAID 0 with no issues.

You sure both drives are ok?

Haven't got a clue. How would I go about checking?
