Periodic error: Programs freeze and harddrive LED is constantly on
I'm having a truely annoying issue. I cannot figure out why.
All of a sudden, maybe every 10-30 minutes, the harddrive LED will go on constant light, and the computer will come to a halt.
It doesn't exactly freeze. I can still move the mouse, and do some minor tasks.
I'm running windows 7 Ulti x64 on it. It is my media center, hooked up to the TV through HDMI.
CPU is Intel I3-2100T and the motherboard is a Intel Desktop Board DH67CF.
It is running a WD Green disc.
It has been running, without any issues, for about three months now. Then a few days ago, all of a sudden, it started doing this.
No new updates were put on, or any new software.
I got home from work, and it wouldn't start. It locked up at "Starting Windows".
So I put the Windows CD in, and went into repair. It fixed some "Disc errors" and it was able to run again, but now with this stupid issue.
I have been unable to isolate what is going on. No CPU or mem usage looks strange or spikes when it happens. I have watched resource manager, but have not been able to see what is using the disc.
I hope you guys have some ideas.
Thanks.
