I built this computer about a year ago and it works great with one exception. If I leave the computer on overnight one of the four drives in my RAID 10 array will become unstable and crash. If I mark it as normal in the ASUS RAID setup and rebuild it everything works fine until I leave the computer on overnight again. If I turn it off after I am done using it everything goes fine and I have never had a crash. Also, if I leave it on for an extended time more than one of the drives will fail and this has caused me twice to have to recover windows. I am thinking of either getting a different motherboard or a RAID card. I would prefer not to if it is something that could be fixed otherwise.
The computer is not used for gaming, but rather photo and website editing.
