I'm just copying the posts from a thread I started in the MB forum since I originally thought it was a MB problem. Any ideas or help is appreciated.
I'm having a strange problem with my system (P6N SLI FI with Q6600). Recently, it has been having brief (2-5sec) lockups when I open folders on either of the local hard drives and it is worse if it is a network drive. Defrag doesn't make any difference. Very frustrating. Almost like a SATA or IDE problem. Anyone else experience this or have any idea what is causing it?
Well, I don't think it is a MB problem after all. I have isolated it to drives/folders that have large HD video files in them. I have a lot of TV and movies saved in HD on my computers and windows apparently tries to look at media files and determine frame rate, resolution etc when you hover over the icon. There is a known problem with high cpu usage and lock-ups when you have a corrupt avi file, but these are all good mpeg2 files. So it is a windows problem, but I'm not quite sure what to do about it. Only one system out of 3 is having the problem. Any suggestions?
