Hi Chris,

This is not my area of expertise, but this sounds like an ACPI problem to
me. You might try googling that (in conjunction with your motherboard) and
see what comes up.

HTH,

I have tried booting up with ACPI disabled.  I still experienced the 
same reboot problem.  I also thought that safe mode disabled acpi?  I 
have also updated the bios on the motherboard and the bios on the raid 
card to see if they were the problem.  Same problem persists.
