The system freezes every 5 to 10 minutes for about 20 seconds.
The Event Viewer returns the message: The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period I recently ran into this issue at work. As far as I can tell Intel’s new SATA controller requires very special hardware that supports some new special power mode for hard drives (Link Power Management or LPM). If your hard drive doesn’t support LPM then, by default, Intel’s controller still attempts to send LPM commands to the drive which causes the computer to freeze for 10 – 30 seconds and it creates two events in the event logs.
You should see Event ID 9 from Source iaStor I had installed the latest drivers from Intel in an attempt to resolve this issue with no luck. I am pretty sure that I solved the issue on my server by renaming this registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor\Parameters] to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor\Parameters.Bad] Then reboot and see if that fixes your problem. Good Luck! If your computer is experiencing this bug you will somthing like this in your event logs: Event Type: Error Event Source: iaStor Event Category: None Event ID: 9 Date: 4/25/2007 Time: 10:48:29 AM User: N/A Computer: LocalHost Description: The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.
