I'm using the latest RAID Windows Vista x64 driver.

Maybe it's not RAID issue at all?

Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks.

    • Temporarily disable RAID to see if the issues persist. This can help in determining if the RAID configuration is causing the problems.
    []Check System Resources:
    • Monitor your system resources using Task Manager to see if any specific process is using an unusually high amount of resources.
    [    ]Test in Safe Mode:
    • Boot into Safe Mode and check if the issues still occur. This helps in isolating whether any third-party software is causing the problems.
    []Check Event Viewer:
    • Look at the Event Viewer logs for any specific error messages that might give insight into what's causing the system to hang.
    [    ]Perform a Clean Boot:
    • Perform a clean boot to start Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This can help identify if a third-party application is causing the issue.

      Regarding the Windows Experience Index HDD Test:​

    • Ensure Indexing is Enabled:
    • Double-check that the Windows Search service is running and indexing is enabled for your hard drive.
    • Check Disk Health:
    • Verify the health of your hard drive using tools like CrystalDiskInfo to rule out any physical issues with the drive.
