Windows lockup problem

Anyone have this and fix it. I search around and it only happens like once a week. It locks up my computer for like 2 minutes with the hdd light staying solid. Any thoughts.....

Hmmm have you run any programs to check up on the hdd and/or something software/malware related?



Id run the chkdsk utility, Microsoft Security Essentials, and Active Hard Disk Monitor

perhaps the hd is trying to stand by or something?



I'd check the power settings.. advanced tab..

did the full chkdsk on both my hdd's

I have a C300 128GB SSD and ST9500420AS 500GB HDD



Im running in high performance but will check power settings now.



Ok in high performance it says turn off hard disk.

20 mintues on battery and 20 mintues on plugged in

Could this be doing it?????



EDIT







My system disk shows up as my second hdd is that correct????

Hi antisniperspy

I would change the 'turn off hard disk' to never if I were you. Especially for de SSD. SSD controllers need or use the idle time to do their maintenance on the 'used nand' (garbage collection, trim). But you could check the Crucial forums for that. For a 'sandforce drive' like mine it definitely should be set to 'never'.

It looks to me that your Seagate momentus is your system disk.

Werid because my OS is on the SSD and I only have games, backup files, paging, temp internet files on the other drive.
