Welcome to the Forums!

AFAIK, the RAID BIOS is always contained within the motherboards BIOS for motherboards with onboard RAID controllers. So it would normally be updated at the same time as the mainboard. This isn't always the case, sometimes they have mainboard issues that need to be resolved, and the RAID controller BIOS remains the same.

I would go to High Point, and get the latest drivers from their site, rather than Soyo's.

I would run the board at failsafe defaults rather than overclocked (if it is overclocked) until you have this sorted out. I would also relax the memory timings as well, just to be safe.

Ok I did what you said and got the new driver from Highpoint and that seemed to take care of this issue I always went off of soyos site and never thought of the actual raid makers website thank you now finally after months I can run my OS on my RAID setup this is great !
