Windows 10: Need help/2 950 Pro NVMe in RAID 0/Asus Z170-A

Hi, after some struggling I was able to clone (using Samsung Cloning Tool) my original Windows 8.1x64 from a Samsung 830 SSD to the Samsung 950 Pro in the Z170-A
onboard M.2 slot and boot Windows 8.1x64 from it.
Then I added a 2nd 950Pro mounted on a PCIe card to the 3rd PCIe slot and was able to successfully build a RAID 0 array in the BIOS using the EZtool.
The problem is that I was unable to see the RAID0 array in the bootable devices list, so when I try cloning or restoring the image with a 3rd party tool (Acronis True Image),
the restoring software reports that there's no disk detected (it does not see the RAID 0 array).
I'd appreciate any help on how to do this successfully.

:)

Extremely high DPC Latency from Directx Graphics Kernel since Anniversary Update.

This is a huge problem.

I have the exact same issue.

Huge ISR time for the directX Kernel.

There are also enormous amounts of people on the Nvidia support forums with pascal GPU's that are reporting similar issue. There may be something to that.

I have also done every conceivable manner of debug. I tried tracing but couldn't find nvidia symbols nor could I get the directX symbols to help figure out what within directX was interrupting all the time.
