over the last week... ive had 2 crashes a day... 1 has just froze my pc and have to do forced restart, other freezes for 5 seconds then restarts automatically... (though automatic restart is disabled) also while this has been happening sometimes my pc doesnt want to load after a restart (or sometimes in the morning), it freezes on the very first screen about half way through... i then have to turn pc off, unplug harddrive plug back in then it works... thoughts? (and eko dont say its cuz i have XP) |

Just means plugging back in parents pc to fix that... Go figure... |

i take it your writing to 1 disk and not a raid group? i would say the motherboard controller is fecked you dont write directly to disk it goes to disk cache and then it is destaged to disk the fact that the disk works fine in another computer ( did u write a large random file as a min test? ) says its not the disk or disk cache i dont know the tools in windows but they must exist , basically if you where to in unix terms DD a 1 GB file of zeros and read it back and write it again a million times over it would not still be a 1GBfile of zeros also what is your nonpaged pool utilisation when the erorrs occure? |

I've put it in my parents pc to diskcheck then put back in mine ... Takes between 3 and 6 months depending how much pc is used for it to feck up like this... Used to happen more often but I found if I turn switch off on psu on the back, it delayed it by 3 to 6 months (also replaced psu) |
