Ever since I went RAID I have had a cold bug problem:
When turning my PC on after its been off for a few hours its really unstable, with random crashes including blue screens, RAID unable to find hdrives & self resetting.
I have to turn the water cooling off & wait till the CPU hits 25c & m/b is 30c before it will boot stable.

Anyone any ideas ? ta
 
Doubt its the mobo as it can run with or with any fans inside the tower (without any fans only for 30mins though), a bit concerning that it could be the PSU as i've already replaced it once & paid extra for 580w as the previous 530w gave 10.5v on 12v rail.
Perhaps Tagem PSU's are poo ?.
 
I asked OcUK sales staff at the counter which PSU they recommend & they say Tagem.
Guess its best do your own research.
May be OK in summer when room temp is higher when first turning PC on, lol.
I have read that Seasonic are the best ?
 
High temps are not my problem, lol !
I'll see if I can find another PSU to test.
Guess with dual cpu, ram, graphics and now hard drive, somethings gotta go wrong, perhaps I should get another PSU to supply my fans etc, lol.
