Raid 1 failing to rebuild, causing total system crash.

I have a Asus Maximus XI Formula Board with 2 2TB Samsung 970 EVO M.2 drives in raid 1. Today I tried to install a USB 3.1 gen 2 header and after about 20 minutes of use the whole system crashed. When it came back online the bios auto populated saying the raid failed, rebuilding. I signed into windows, Intel RST said rebuilding. Once it got near the end it crashed. I repeated this about 4 times and even tried letting it rebuild while in the bios with no luck. It didn't say which drive was bad but I took both drives out of raid and booted into windows on drive 1 fine and am having 0 isues even with the USB 3.1 gen 2 header installed. I do not think I have a bad M.2 drive. I want to format my 2nd raid drive and then tell the bios to make my first drive a raid drive again, then trying to rebuild on the newly formatted drive using Intel RST. Is this possible or will telling my drive one to go back to being a raid 1 drive wipe the drive?
