Nvidia Raid and XP boot problems!

I'm looking for some help here. I am building a new machine with the
following components: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, 1GB Mushkin 3500 ram, 2 EVGA
6600GT video cards running in SLI, Thermaltake T2 435w PSU, AMD 64 3200 with
the Winchester core with 2 Western Digital SATA2 250GB hard drives running on
the Nvidia N4 raid contoller. I altered all of the bios settings to enable
the Nraid controllers and I disabled the Silicon controllers per ASUS
direction. I created a Raid 0 array and it is healthy. I go to load XP (with
native SP2) last night, load the raid drivers (6.70), all goes well until the
initial boot of XP. As the machine boots into Windows, I get the XP splash
screen for about 5 seconds, and then the machine just reboots itself. No blue
screen, no error codes, just a reboot. This will happen over and over until I
power down the machine. Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated!
 
Try booting into safe mode step by step boot to see which driver is causing
the problem
 
Hey Mike-

I tried to boot in safe last night with the same result. Any other
suggestions?

Maybe you need to juice up you power supply. Maybe its not providing
enough power for all of your hardware.
 
Here are 2 things to try boot f8 try debugging mode first and if that don't
work as a last resort try f8 boot into disable automatic restart on system
failure. Also check your power supply to see if it can support the system i
would say 450 - 550 amps supply
