Switching out various hardware (motherboard, cpu, memory, etc) didn't seem to have an effect. Only after deleting the array and re-creating it did it start to work. I have since used a 3Ware card in 10 different machines and have not had any problems. So try deleting the array and re-creating it from scratch.
