Marvell RAID problems

Hey, OK so I have been having some problems with my Main system. So first off I pretty sure there is something wrong with the memory controller on the Asus P8 Z68 Deluxe becuase when I put the 2x8gb dimms in the recommended configuration on the board it will have problems (including but not limited to BSODs, every app crashing, and Steam games flat out not working) but when I put them in the other slots I get the Steam games to work, and less app crashes. Then When I take the 2x1TB HDD's in RAID 0 (The drives are about a year and a half old) Everything works just fine. So after some digging I found out that I have them RAID'ed off the Marvell RAID controller on the board. Just wanted to know what I should do and if the Marvell RAID controller is junk to begin with. I would contact Asus but the board is way out of warranty. System specs are

Intel Core i5 3570k

Asus P8 Z68 Deluxe

Cruciall Balistix Sport 16gb (2x8gb)

Sandisk 128gb SSD

2x1TB Hitachi HDD

Radeon HD 6670 2gb DDR3

Hi there. Move along, n0thing to see here.

Not the Memory Since I have taken it out and ram memtest with it a lot because that was my first idea
