Hard drive activity causing BSOD

I have MCE and xp-64 on a RAID-0 stripe of two 36GB raptors. I also have two other 40GB IDE drives on the system. Whenever I do some heavy reading or writing from these IDE drives the system BSOD's and gives me a machine check exception error. I am running a DFI Lanparty SLI-DR, Athlon 64 4000+, two 7800GTX's in SLI and I have a Sliverstone 600Watt PSU. Any ideas, is there an issue with IDE activity in NF4 boards?
 
Just to get a dumb question out of the way as fast as possible... you got all four power connectors plugged in? Numbered in red in this pic, that floppy-style one is a new curve for lots of people. Also, what RAM do you have and what voltage did you select for it, since some RAM might be intended for more voltage than the mobo defaults to.

Also, if you used the nVidia SW IDE driver (opted Yes at this prompt), then you could easily try switching back to the standard Microsoft IDE drivers in Device Manager as a test. Some people have trouble with the SW IDE drivers, some don't.
 
wow, i have built many computers, but this was my first NF4 build. I totally missed that power connector you mentioned. Well I connected it now, I will monitor it to see if the problem comes up again. Thank you so much man.
