Accessing files on HDD causes Explorer to crash
Hello, this is my first post here.
I've been wracking my brain over this since March...
I built a new system consisting of:
Gigabyte G1 Sniper 5 motherboard
EVGA 760 GTX video card
16 GB of G.Skill Ripjaws ram...
two hard drives, a 3TB Seagate and a 4TB seagate.
1000 watt PSU.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit is installed on the 3TB drive.
The 4TB drive is split into two partitions, one for program installations and one for file storage.
The 4TB drive is GUID Partition Table/GPT.
Here's the problem.
Whenever I try to access... copy, rename, move or mount a large-ish file on the 4tb drive, Explorer crashes, giving a "Not responding" message, and hangs for several minutes. Eventually, Explorer restarts itself, and things are fine. Until I try it again.
Installed programs seem to work fine.
I cannot unzip a file onto the drive from another drive.
Right clicking to get properties will crash the drive.
I've run Seatools in both Windows and DOS. Drive pass tests.
I've tried different SATA cables and ports.
BIOS is set for AHCI.
I'm goign nuts trying to figure this out....
