Delayed Write Failed

by bimal_kumar_sanghi . Updated 16 years, 8 months ago

Hi,

From the past two weeks I am getting a Delayed Write Failed error on my computer.

My computer’s configuration is –
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 Ghz
4 GB RAM
Two 22x DVD drives
1 gb 9400GT Nvidia Graphics Card
Windows Xp SP2 updated to SP3
Creative Sound Blaster Card
5.1 Speakers
DG31PR Motherboard
500 GB Seagate harddisk

I thought it was because of my internet connection as I kept getting this message – Windows ? Delayed Write Failed : Windows was unable to save all the data for the file X:\$Mft. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

I switched off my internet and used to work on the computer, but still I get the delayed write failed.

I checked disk for errors many times and restarted. Kept the computer on without using the computer, I still get the delayed write failed error. It gives a message saying unable to save data….Harddiskvolume1/…..and then get a few messages after that. Since I will not be able to use the computer anymore. I restart the computer. I get a blue screen while it is shutting down. I ran Windows debugger and got the following –

Customer count = 3
BUGCHECK_STR: 0x8E
MODULE_NAME: 000
IMAGE_NAME: 000.fcl

When I am not connected to the internet and am playing Resident Evil 5 PC game using a USB gamepad in the middle of the game after about 10-15 minutes I get a message saying “Recording Device removed”. And I loose control and the whole computer stops responding.

Everytime I get the Delayed Write Failed, my computer stops responding. Get many messages saying was unable to save the data to harddiskvolume…

I have Seatools for Windows and had also installed Harddrive inspector. The hard drive inspector indicates 97 % health and performance and reliability at 100%. Seatools passes all the tests

I had to reinstall Windows Xp and never had this issue before for the 5 months I used the computer. And since two weeks am getting this error.

I used cacheset to increase the maximum cache size. Is there anything else I should now of?

Thanks in advance for your replies!
