Re: new xp 2 freezes momentarily

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Toni,

I've had that problem for a loooooong time. Eventually I found out
why.

It CAN be the harddisk on that port, which is failing, it can happen
if your haddisk get too hot, then you experience this kind of errors.
I found this out after awhile, I installed better cooling, and all but
one of the errors went away.

But even with better cooling one of the ports still failed, it turned
out to be the brand new sata cable, once that was replaced I have not
had the error since.

So try to touch the harddisk if it's very hot, that could be the
fault, Otherwise try to change the cable!!!

Regards Leif.
