System hangs after a while
Hi,
I recently installed a new SATA disk, Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB, unfortunately my motherbord has run out of SATA ports (6 total and 7 disks ). The thing is that I started to transfer large amounts of data from one of my other disks to this new one (after it has been formated ofc) and after a while my system hangs.
I can't for the life of me understand what makes the system halt. I have installed the latest drivers for the PCI-E SATA II card from St Lab, the controller has the SiL 3132 chip and I've also downloaded the recommended BIOS for that chip as well as the drivers for Windows 7 x64 but the system still hangs after a while. I have tried not "using" the drive at all for instance only boot up and start a game from another hdd and I can play for a few minutes than halt.
I've also recently scanned my memory with memtest and no errors so I'm starting to think that it's either the drive thats faulty or that the SATA controller card won't play fair/nice with my system
Any ideas?
