    anything i install i always get raid hard drive failures even though ssd drive test shows that everything is fine,
    also they program or games i install run ok.

    you can start from new install of windows that always... works do not save settings reformat ... did you change your raid software you could first try removing the drives in device manager and letting them reinstall on reboot

    check the settings in bios like raid mode ide ACHI ect. ... reset bios defaults.... disable all ports cd drive sound chip ECT disable everything you can in bios then enable one at a time till you find the problem

    set permanant page file
    3000 3000 uncheck system managed
    maybe you have a hardware problem
