Re: Reboot several times a day

Hi Gerry,

December 2002 - is that prior to SP2 or with it? I am amazed that you got
the "signed" numbers you got with a CD that, I believe, is close to mine in
terms of age... I'm at a loss to explain the difference between our systems
in that regard. Most of the unsigned drivers I have are from MS...

I just looked at my CD and it says "version 2002" but no month.

I ran HDTune, all options, against all drives. Surface scans showed no
problems with any of the drives including the USB attached drives which were
my prior C and D drives (boot and backup).

The two larger drives are for video and slides. I lost the setup once (RAID
stripe) and so lost all of the video and slides I had digitized. I'm
digitizing 50 years worth of my dad's 16mm movies and 35mm slides.

I also take motorcycle movies and digitize them.

One 232gb drive will be primary, the other will be backup.

MB is ASUS P4S8X. I like them and their products and have been using their
MBs for about 15 years now.

I got the Everest Home edition and produced all of the reports. Tons of
info. Is there anything you wanted to see?

I used the link for the HP driver and let HP check what I have installed and
it came back that I have the latest driver for the PSC750XI.

Everest discovered that I have my AGP disabled. Forgot about that. I did
that early during the process of trying to eliminate what was causing the
problem. Not a heavy graphics user (except for movies) so that has been
barely noticeable to me.

Let me know if there is any more information you would like to see.

Thanks.
