Hello everyone!

My hdd seems to gone haywire. This error "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\D" keep pop up and spamming my event viewer. When this happen my system will freeze for a few sec and back to normal again. This thing happen like every 15min..

When to search around the net and found some info that this error might cause due to loose/faulty cable. I already check for loose cable, all fixed up properly but i got no spare cable to try on.

I have 2 hdd on my system HDD1 = G.skill SSD(OS and games on it) , HDD2 = V.Raptor 150GB (page file, my doc, download etc).

As for Hardisk1\D which 1 it actually meant? Thank you!
 
Swap the cable between the drives and see if the error message changes.

Yo DonDon :D

Tried swaping cables but still no go.. Any chance is a faulty Hdd / controller? Or just windows problem? Btw i got no issue when i was playing World of warcraft(Installed in the SSD drive with OS). The freeze only happen when first boot into windows and using in desktop environment..
 
I would suspect some program that is trying to run when Windows starts then. Either it has a corrupted file that it is trying to read, or it is trying to ping some server in Eastern Europe with your Credit Card info.

Wa, but i did scan my com for virus and spyware! Oh ya i just did a reformat, but i have a bit minor problem that i didn't face b4 when doing windows install.

Everything when fine on the install, but when i reach the part where i need to enter my name, organization and follow by the cd key. The system face the shuttering issue like my first key was 'A', i pressed it few time and nothing came out but after awhile all the 'A' pops out. Took me quite awhile to have the cd key entered properly..

So far on the fresh install system no error appearing yet but theres some freeze on installation of software, think most likely from the SSD freeze/shutter issue.

As for freezing at cd key part, are there any chance of faulty HDD / controller? If i can play World of Warcraft normally without any issue, most likely my hdd is safe? I also swap different sata port that was on my motherboard to test it previously tho, but still having errors.. So i guess a reformat is the only way out..

Opps sorry for the long post too :p
