Delayed write error
LockedHello all. I have an issue with a computer of course. The machine is a little over a year old and keeps having this recurring problem. It will come up with a delayed write error and the computer will freeze up. When it reboots, it can’t find the boot device and asks for it or a disk. To get it to boot, what I do is switch the sata cables for the disk and dvd into each others ports, then it boots fine. This makes no sense to me. It first happened after about 4 months, then 3 months later, again 3 months later, then a couple months, and now 3 times in the last 2 weeks.
The machine has an AMD CPU, MSI motherboard with nVidia graphics chipset. The error log shows a bad block on drive D, which is the DVD player.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Kent
