| IDE, RAID or AHCI Hard Drive Setting As you have a single SATA drive you want SATA. IDE is for older type drives and the others are for running two drives together.

| IDE, RAID or AHCI Hard Drive Setting I tried Sata IDE mode It is stable and i did not need to install RAID Drivers. I tried Sata Raid Mode It install fine but after 30mins uptime it locksup. I tried Sata AHCI Mode it install fine but after 30mins uptime it locksup. I checked for Overheat Problem with CPU and GPU but they are fine. AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU Temp = 25 Celcius Ati Radeon Video Card Temp = 38 Celcius I ruled out Startup Programs. |

| IDE, RAID or AHCI Hard Drive Setting You want the first option you listed, and you don't need RAID as you are only running one drive, RAID is for two.
