I have set up my raid and in the process of installing windows when at different parts of the installation a blue screen appears saying it had to shut down my comp......Now the first time the problem occured was just after i had formatted the hdd and partition. The next time happened it was when i was in the actual final stages of the install.......so it is a bit random.

Could this blue screening be because my 8800gts with the thermaltake hr-03 heatsink is absoloutely roasting? The heatsink should be 20% more efficient than the stock one and yet it gets very very hot during installing windows.

Is there a way to check the graphics card temperature in the bios?

Is there a way of doing a troubleshoot in bios to see why it is blue screening.

When i restart the comp it says everything is running ok and all that until it crashes at the later part of installation.

Again i am in debt to anyone who can help.
