Windows 7 Windows 7 x64 Hangs on Gigabyte 965P-DS3 with RAID-0

[micha90210]

Hi Everyone.

My Windows 7 x64 beta v7057 hangs after a few minutes of activity.

Also, it doesn't pass the Windows Score HDD test, saying HDD indexing needs to been turned on, when it's already turned on.

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.

It seems like you're encountering stability issues with your Windows 7 x64 beta version 7057. The hanging after a few minutes of activity and the problem with the Windows Score HDD test can be frustrating. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve these issues:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Check for Driver Updates:
   • Ensure that all your drivers are up to date, including the RAID driver you mentioned. Sometimes outdated drivers can cause stability issues.
   []Run Disk Check:
   • Perform a disk check to scan and fix any potential errors on your hard drive. This might help with the HDD indexing issue.
   []Disable RAID:
   • 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.
