Random hard drive lock-ups
Hi,
I have very annoying problem with 7 #7000/#7100 (not present in XP or Vista) - on random intervals, a couple of times per day the hard drive just blocks with it's LED constantly on. Windows still responds, except for operations involving the hard drive (like opening Explorer) - every program that reads from HDD just becomes "Not responding". Exactly after 2 minutes, everything is back to normal.
Drivers are installed, there are no unknown devices in Device manager.
The laptop is http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=1844615&lc=en&cc=nz&dlc=en〈=en&cc=nz - Centrino Duo, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB SATA HDD.
Any ideas?
