The system is as follows
AMD 64 3.4
MSI K8T Neo Mobo(Bios V1.80)
2 120GB S-ATA WD Hard Drives in RAID 0
1 WD IDE Standard for backup purposes
ATI XT9800
1 GB Kingston Dual Channel RAM
2 DVD Drives(both new)

I sometimes get a loud clicking sound that appears to be the from one of the
hard drives. It locks the PC briefly and usually ends with me having to do a
hard reset. Then when I re-boot, I have had 3 different error messages. 1)
ATI XT9800 isn't connected properly 2) Keyboard has malfunctioned 3)Raid
Array is broken. Non of which I believe are the fault themselves. I've run
thorough checks on all the HD's and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong
there. I used tools from Western Digital's site, but I can't find anything
to check the RAID disks.

Thanks a lot for any help offered.
 
That's exactly the symptoms of a failing drive. Backup your data and format
each drive seperately. If you can't find the faulty drive during the format
then run diagnostics on each.

Thanks. I've since disconnected the "D" drive(backup) and all is well. There
wasn't anything irreplaceable on there anyway.
