| 856026 | 2010-02-08 00:39:00 | Installed SP2, im now assuming it might be the A/V - Microsoft Security Essentials | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 856027 | 2010-02-08 01:21:00 | Or hardware issues. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 856028 | 2010-02-09 03:18:00 | i think i know what the issue is. I have a WD Green drive, so it uses less power, which has a lower performance. this causes lags when i am trying to do things. i notice playing music has this lag halfway through, kinda like it would when i stream, it pauses for a sec. I think these drives are designed for storage, like server storage. | aidanmaz (7180) | ||

I think these drives are designed for storage, like server storage. I still think its a software issue. The transfer rate of these drives are not substantially lower. I would watch the processes, see which process is causing it. 'Sys internals' will show you more than you need to know aswell. I havent used them on w7 or vista though. technet.microsoft.com |

| 856030 | 2010-02-09 03:35:00 | Yeah a friend had much trouble with his as the primary, got a WD black series and used the green as secondary. All good now. I believe (but haven't been able to find) there is a dos utility which can disable the disc spin down (which is what I think is your problem) |

| 856031 | 2010-02-09 03:58:00 | i do notice...when the machine does freeze, an noise like an overdrive (dont laugh) kicks in.....not too sure what that is | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
| 856032 | 2010-02-10 20:02:00 | i do notice...when the machine does freeze, an noise like an overdrive (dont laugh) kicks in.....not too sure what that is you must mean a fan? This is espected when your pc is at 100% cpu use for any length of time. I dont see how the drive is spinning down unless it is has EXTREMELY aggressive powersaving.OSes will be accessing it so often it shouldnt be able to spin down. Normally I use say an ~80gb trusted drive for my OS too. |

| 856033 | 2010-02-10 21:47:00 | Have you tried running system diagnostic like Memtest to eliminate faulty hardware? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 856034 | 2010-02-11 04:24:00 | Yes have used memtest, no errors. In a period of 1 hour the fan starts up quite alot, yet there doesnt seem to be anything using the cpu too much. I checked airflow internally and its all sweet. | aidanmaz (7180) | ||
