HD Problem

Basically my setup is as follows:

160gb WD SATA C&D- Partitioned, with vista and XP Pro
320gb WD SATA F
320gb WD SATA G

These are all on the ICH8 controller of the DS3. Now say if I unzipped a folder from drive G to drive C my computer virtually dies. The file was 8gb in size. Basically my mouse jerks everywhere and the system becomes un responsive until the file has finished. My PC spec is:

DS3
E6300 @ 2.8
Geil 6400 Ultra @ 400 @ 55518
Xfi Fatality Pro
Samsung SATA DVDRW
8800GTX
Enermax Galaxy 850
Logitech G7
Logitech Ultra-X

Help :/ oh and I've changed the HD settings from SATA native to normal in the bios and it still does it.

That is a pretty big operation to perform, what is your CPU and memory usage like when you do such a thing?

I don't know - because my PC becomes so unsresponsive I can't get to that info. If I move the same file from G to F everything is fine...

are you runing out of disk space on drive c and the swap file is being eaten up? Try moving the swap space to drive F and see what happens.

Space is fine at the moment.

Anyone else?

Do you get the same problem with the system running at stock speed?

Also have you checked the event logs to see if anything is being reported there?
