hayona Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Friends, For a long time i've got problem with my computer: My computer is slow (i can't even here mp3's). I've run all the tests using UBCD and AVG/AVAST anti virus and no problem is found (RAM, HD, CPU... are all ok). I have even reinstalled windows xp and completely formatted HD's (~5 times, each time installed a different version of xp). But the problem returns after a couple of days. Specs: core 2 due - 2.4 GHZ, 2 GB of RAM, 320GB of HD So you probably ask yourself why is he posting about this problem on the imgBurn forum.... The question is that i think imgBurn indicates about the problem: When i burn a DVD with imgBurn every 40 seconds i get the following warnings: W 19:05:54 Waiting for buffers to recover... (LBA: 1099808) W 19:06:04 Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level... So my guess is that the Hard disk is the problem. However it could be the RAM or the Motherboard as well. (And i don't want to replace all of them at once). Any idea what is mostly like to be the problem? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Check the fragmentation of your HDs. Are you using the latest storage drivers available for your motherboard's chipset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Check that you're using an 80-wire IDE ribbon cable and not a 40-wire. Also check the FAQ here for DMA problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
