Is your environment also EFI/UEFI-boot?

No. It boots from SSD RAID0

FancyCache driver was not loaded correctly.

I think it does not matter but: fancycache used to work with this hardware with English Windows 7 Ultimate 64.
Now Russian version of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 is installed

Did it also boot from SSD Raid0 when the previous version worked?

Or do you have any other configuration changes?

Thanks.

Yes, it did boot from SSD raid0. There were no any changes in the hardware configuration. There is a difference although. This time during windows installation EFI System Partition was allocated on the raid.

How did the win7 be installed? Is it upgraded from an old windows OS? or it is a new install?

Can you tell us more about the previous work/good configurations on Windows OS and FancyCache version?

Thanks.

It is a new install. In both cases I used the same FancyCache version 0.6.2.
In work/good configuration Raid0 which consists of two 120Gb OCZ Agility 2 contained the only partition. In the current configuration the raid contains two partitions: 100MB EFI System Partition and Boot partition

So I was wrong, my system also EFI-boot.

Sure. Intel Core i7-2600, ASUS P8P67, 16GB RAM

By the way, I compared my PC performance with different settings of Fancy Cache and with caching switched off on my project rebuilding. Rebuild process compiles thousands of java classes, restarts JBOSS application server and imports several MySQL data bases. It takes ~8 minutes and the difference is several seconds only (Eh! On my old machine with Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM it took more than 45 minutes, it was terrible!), so Fancy Cache can only save my SSDs resource I believe. With my HDDs the cache makes great job although. They work much faster and very silently with Fancy Cache.
I was really upset when the cache stopped to work after windows reinstalling. From the other hand now I know what is EFI which appeared on my PC by accident and has eaten 100MB of my SSD raid
