I have just bought a new system with 2x200gb Diamond Max plus 9's in a RAID array and it has been unstable from the word go. When I looked at the temperatures I found out that the disks are running at 56degrees!
To check if this was causing the problems I ran the system with the disks out side the case with a fan heater, (set to blow cold air btw :haha: ) and it's ran sweet as for a few days.
Now however I have discovered further problems. Even once my hard drives are nice and cool my system continues to periodically freeze and occasionally but rarely it will reset or give a BSoD with an error about IRQ greater than or equal to something or other.
I have run memtest86 for a whole day, (26 passes!) and no errors were found. I am running out of ideas here – nothing else is running hot, the memory is fine – no spyware or viruses present – Drivers up to date.
Help!
