I got a Dell Dimension 8100.
os: win2K
Whenever my comp goes on standby or hibernates and then the system 'wakes up' i begin getting problems.
I checked the Event Viewer utility of Win2K. I found a large number of alternating intelATA warning and error messages under the System Events section:
Warning:
A pending interrupt was detected on device \Device\Scsi\IntelATA2 during a timeout operation. A large number of these warnings may indicate that the system is not correctly receiving or processing interrupts from the device.
Error:
The device, \Device\Scsi\IntelATA2, did not respond within the timeout period.
As far as I managed to research, the real problem is not the IRQs, but might be the HDD.... does that make sense?
Has anyone experienced anything similar? ive tried to find something... ANYTHING about this problem for ages.
any kind of help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
if u need any more info, just ask.
the only way to fix this is to restart the comp after it's been in standby or hibernating, which is not very practical if the system is not restarted, soon i begin getting weird error messages from Win, e.g. files are in use, inaccessible, etc. the title bar on most windows becomes transparent or garbled... it's well weird.
thanks again. Avendeval
