1135418 2010-09-07 21:25:00 Hi,

Just rebuild my win7 box with a WD black 1tb drive for the OS. Installed all drivers/patches etc. Problem is that it hangs for about 5-6sec on a regular basis. Most often after coming out of sleep/hybernation. This was never a problem prior to doing the rebuild with this drive.

Any ideas?

System Spec: gigabyte x58a-ud3r MB, 6gb ram, i7 920, 1xWD black 1tb sata3 (OS), 4.25tb RAID6 (adaptec 4805)

Probably something wrong with your install itself? MS' patches? Spyware? Problematic drivers?

Have a look at taskman and see if anything is out of the ordinary.

Click start, type in reli , select "View Reliability History", takes a few seconds to open - Where there is a problem there should be a red circle with a white X click it, and below will give a description of the problem at that time.

Sometimes they are helpful other times not.
