Random hard drive lock-ups

I think it is primarily a AHCI issue. Installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager fixed it for me.
Choose a similar driver depending on your motherboard chipsets and try again.
Hope this helps.

Fixed !!
Thanks

If you are running only 2gb of ram you may need to acquire some more RAM. With an Intel processor you should have at least 6gb of ram otherwise as you said the drive will lock up from to little RAM.
