Ever since I set up a RAID 0 setup my computer crashes whenever I try to do a windows update. Halfway though an update, no matter what I do, the computer decides to BSOD on me.
Basic Computer Information:
Bought the core components in summer of '09
Upgraded GPU, added SSD, and added second HDD summer/fall '11
Windows 7 x64, got from MSDN back when I had a subscription which has now expired.
4GB of DDR2 RAM
3.0 GHz AMD Phenom IIx4
Biostar TA790GXB A2+ mobo
1 128 GB SSD
2x 660 GB HDD
For a while I've had my computer setup like this:
C: (128GB PNY SSD) for my windows install
D: (660GB WD HDD) for storage and my windows user profile
E: (660GB WD HDD of the same model as the other) for Ubuntu
I today decided that since I haven't used my Linux HardDrive in over a month that I'd try to RAID my two identical HDDs to have one large drive with faster speeds. Since I didn't care to figure out how to replace my old drivers with the RAID drivers of biostar's website. So instead I backed up all my information onto an external harddrive and installed Windows 7 fresh again.
My setup was now this:
C: (128 GB SSD) with windows installed on it.
D: (1.2 TB RAID 0) for storage and my user profile
After a smooth installation I booted into windows, installed some drivers and started updating. Everything went fine and my computer restarted. After the restart two updates were left: a Security Update for .net 4 and Service Pack 1. Whenever I attempt to install either of these two updates it downloads all the way and then starts to install. Half way though the install I get a BSOD. Your help is very much appreciated
Edit: after shutting down my computer it tried to install an update. Now it won't even stay in Windows for a minute without crashing. Safe mode is doing the same thing.
