    Overclocking failed + Raid Controller probs

    Hi guys.
    Recently I got a 'overclock failed' message at start up on my 3xs rig (an i7 920 @3.6ghz). Is this easy to fix for a not so technical person such as myself. The Scan guys did install some Acronis software but I've never used it before and don't know if this even sorts out overclocking problems. Perhaps it's best to leave as is instead of overclocking again?

    Also, when windows loads I get this message:

    New found hardware. Windows needs to install Driver software for your RAID Controller.
    3 options - locate & install driver (no good, doesn't find). Ask me again later (That's what I've been choosing). Never ask again is the 3rd option.

    I have 3 HDDs. (300gb raptor & 2x 500gb Samsung F1s) None in raid array. So Is it safe for me to choose the 3rd option, don't ask again?

    Thanks for any help on these prolems

    Thanks Ben, I should have checked the stickies before posting.

    I'm still getting this message at start up though New found hardware. Windows needs to install Driver software for your RAID Controller.

    Is it okay to to choose 'Don't display this message again' None of my drives are in Raid.
    Cheers.

    Hi Bletch

    You can select not to show the message again, its possible that one of the Raid controllers or SAS controllers (depending on the motherboard) is enabled and just needs turning off

    Regards
