I seem to have an issue, that is a first for me.
I just put a new EVGA 780i mb in on Friday, and ended up having to format
and clean install XP Pro SP2. I also have gotten all my udpates post SP2.
I have two sata hard drives, each with 3 partitions.
My system appears to be running rock solid. Thought I would go in and defrag
my C partition in Windows XP.
Very, very slow. The cpu kept stalling, then starting, I could see this in
task manager under performance tab. So, before my reformat I had Diskeeper
10, from Executive Software, 2005 version I believe. I liked the program, so
went ahead and purchased the new version, Diskeeper 2008 Home Version.
Installed it, and tried again.
Same issue, as with the built in windows defrag, I let the thing run over
two hours, before finally shutting my system down. It had gotten to app 80%
complete, but again, the constant stalls and starts of the cpu was
unbelievable.
Now here's the catch, all my other partitions, including the other two on
the same drive that C is on, defragment just fine and in a matter of a very
few minutes, no stalling and starting of the cpu.
I have never seen anything like this before, and while I am sure not an
issue with the new 780i, thought some of you being pretty knowledgeable,
might have seen this before and have a clue on what is going on?
Any tips here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
