Re: Inexplicable PC Problem: Genius required
Thanks for all the replies so far.

It started doing it from cold this morning, so I don't think it's a heat issue. Also, I haven't lost any BIOS settings, and the mobo is only a couple of years old, so I think the battery is okay.

The PSU is an interesting one, I hadn't considered that. The thing is, wouldn't that affect the whole BIOS process, not just the RAID controller? The other thing is that when I was testing, I swiched off "quick POST", so that it spent a long time checking the memory before going on with other tasks -- wouldn't this have given the voltage time to stabilize?
