Ok, I built a computer a while back andthough it's not cutting-edge, it should be fairly quick - but not. It will occasionally hang at random times and will have to be shut down via the power button. Yesterday I tried installing some software that should have only taken a few minutes and it took and hour. Well, I ran HD Tach and found that the HDs average read speed is only 3.5mb/s (my main pc is averaging 150mb/s). Anybody have any ideas on what could be causing the HDs to be so slow?
Here's the internals:
Board: MachSpeed X-Caliber PT88BS Pro Via Socket 775 ATX Motherboard (X-CALIBER PT88BSPRO)
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 641 3.20GHz - 2MB Cache - 800MHz FSB - Hyper-Threading
Mem: 2x A-Data Dual Channel 1024MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz
HD: 2x (In RAID 1 Configuration) WD Caviar 250GB SATA-3G HD 7200/16MB/SATA-3G
DVD Burner: Lite-on Super Allwrite LH-18A1P-186
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2
Video: PNY GeForce 7600 GS - 512MB GDDR2 - AGP 8x - DVI - VGA - HDTV
Thanks so much,
Brad
