Hi,
I am having an intermitant problem with my IDE drives setup.
Now and then, my computer will start freezing and unfreezing (stuttering) as it attempts to find both my DVD and my CD Rom drive. I checked out the event log and the following error is present:
Source: Cdrom
Category: None
EventID: 15
Description: The device, \Device\CdRom0, is not ready for access yet.
It also does this for device\cdRom1 too...i.e. both of my IDE drives.
If I happen to be reading from these drives when the stuttering starts, page faults are recorded (presumably because it was reading from the drives at the time).
I assumed this was a cabling issue, BUT a reboot solves the problem...
It is getting more regular and I wonder if it is a failing DMA controller...
This is a brand new motherboard so hopefully that is not the case, I would be interested in your views...
