I am running pretty much the exact same computer as the first post except XP SP2 with 4 x 250GB Sata2 drives in raid . I am having the exact same problem as the guy in the first post stated. I am thinking that one of my drives might be stuffing up but am not sure. If anyone knows a quick fix for this I would appreciate it lol. Or any information.
Just in case people are still having this problem...
I've got similar hardware but the exact problem.
After viewing about 4 billiioins entries about the same problem it seems to be realted to having the wrong combination of Intel Matrix Manager and drivers installed. For sure most say do NOT use ver 8.9.0.1023 - Trust me...
In my case I found that turn off the write caching stopped the problem from occuring all the time but still didn't fix the real problem. I am still working on "WHY" this happened.
I first encountered the problem when about a week ago I tried to put my computer to sleep... I had never done this before... after waking I had problemsevery so often but more so if I were to try copying, moving or accessing large directories on my drive.
There is an article about changing a registry setting to make the driver think the config is bad... nice try but didn't work. It just loaded a new bad copy... LOL
I will find the correction... at least for my own problem and will share it here. I have read where most fixes where accomplished by going back in versions installed... now to just find which is the right version.
