Windows - Delayed Write Failed

CaptainHaplo · 03-20-13, 06:00 PM

Feuer is dead on about the write caching problems with USB. Eject any usb drives, reboot and run a while - see what happens with them out.

Also - if your still having issues after that - the easiest way to do things would be using imaging. Either create - or mirror the existing drive. That way if the one dies, you unplug it, swap it with the mirror and away you go.

Ok, thanks. Yes, I have 2 USB external drives, I will shut those down and wait to see how it goes.

Neal, what make are your HDDs?

Seagate has a free program that will clone a drive to another Saves doing an OS reinstall and everything is copied over to the new HDD. . You can then just plug it in and continue on from there. That's one reason I only use Seagate, the other is their pretty dependable.

My HD is SCSI WDC_WD50
Whatever that is

Well, it went fine for a week, but now it's so bad I am running in Safe Mode.

I think it may have something to do with my g cards or connection cables. For about 4 months there has been a horizontal line on the monitor. And now the blue screen of death says nv4_disp is stuck in an infinite loop!

I guess I will have to check the drivers, cables, and clean the innerds, wish me luck.

Uninstall and reinstall your graphics drivers.
