Im running a P4 661j 3.6ghz HT, with 2gb of Samsung 533mhz ddr2 memory, WD Cavier Sata Raid 0 500gb HDDs, ECS Elitegroup PT880-A Pro motherboard.

Before I set up my raid I was able to overclock my system safely, however I know I do need to look into better cooling for my system however since I have 8 fans not including PSU, HD Coolers, and GPU fans it seems to stay stable. However since ive overclocked my system Ive had this pecular issue. No matter how small the modification I make, it seems to force reset itself from boot. When I turn on my system you hear all the cd-roms spin quickly and the GPU fan kick on to max speed for a brief moment, then silence, force reset and does this continuous cycle until i reset the jumpers on the motherboard. N e ideas as to what would cause this to happen or do I simply need to invest in a better motherboard?
