Intel Application Accellerator & Hypertreading:Event ID 51

[Moto Guzzi]

Problem:EventViewer Event ID:51
"An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation."
>>Whatching the blue bar on bootup, it sometimes hesitates for 2-3 sec, then I know
the problem has occured. At the moment I am booted up 100% without the problem.
>>I noticed on Internet a lot of users has this problem.
>>>This only happens during BOOT, near the end of it, blue bar...

##########
This has to do with speed: Disk mode=UDMA-5
#########
Details4 3.06Ghz,MB=GA-8IEXP Rev2.1, Chipset=845E, M=Twimoss 768MB.
##########

History-1:I never had this problem, till I upgraded from P4 2Ghz to P4 3.06Ghz with HT.
The MB supports HT. With HT disabled, the problem is gone. I managed to get rid of problem while on SP1 and upgrading the Intel Application Accelerator to 2.3....
Never saw it again...

History-2: Untill I upgraded to SP2 from CD. In the mean time I have proved it has to do with the IAA from Intel & Hypertreading.
1-If I disable HT, it never happens.
-or-
2-If I uninstal Intel IAA, with HT enabled, it never happens.

>>>But doing the above slows the PC noticibly down....

I have 2x diff makes of disks, Maxtor 40GB & WD 40GB, happens with both. They are not brand new, but the WD is 3.5 years, and max is 1.5 year.


Question-1oes anybody know more about this problem ?
>>This has to do with speed to the disk, via IDE/controller

Question-2o you think buying a brand new disk with 8MB cache could solve this problem.

Have you tried new ide cable ? and different ide slot on your mobo cause that is what sounds like it's releated to also make sure you have the newest chipset drivers for your motherboard installed

I assume this is not comming off a fresh format?

A new hdd with an 8mb cache may be noticeably faster, but I think your problem is software related. I'd try a fresh format w/ latest drivers and SP2 if you havent. That would be the cleanest route i think.

Good luck!

Problem Solved

I made a decission: I dished Intel Application Accelerator!

The influence of IAA: I proved the following:


To make the PC work,....

1-Disable HT, but then P4 runs 10c with cooling hotter...

2-Uninstall IAA.

3-Disable IDE2....If IDE2 is disabled, it also works 100%[Without CDROM & DVD]

After uninstalling literaly every possible thing from Device Manager and re-installing, I decided removing IAA was the best option. It clearly has a problem with IDE, effecting boot progress & prevent stuff from loading properly. If it hesitates on boot, I know the fault is on, after which the PC feels sluggish.

After uninstalling IAA this time, XP re-installed a newer version[2003] of chipset drivers, unlike previously[2001], so uninstalling the HAL etc, may have made the diff.
It boots right/smooth & feels right now.

Note:I have looked at my work PC[Dell], and there is no IAA installed either.


After 100's of reboots, I still did not reformat, and all is still in tact. I must say I gained some serious respect for XP-PRO/SP2.

Is IAA still popular? I wasn't aware it was still a must-have thing. I stopped using it a while back because it would make my 128MB video card only show 64MB. I have no idea why it did that, but I realized I didn't miss IAA.

My real chipset drivers are with XP, but when I go to Gigabyte website, the IAA, is the only chipset drivers they presented to me, that was how I got onto it a few years back.

Maybe the chipset drivers should be doing what this Job from Intel promised to do.

On newer PC's you must load .INF files 1st[With some chipsets], that is suppose to make installation correctly configured for the MB, in my case this is not applicable.



According to Maxtor, this type of error message is not caused by the disk, but they don't say either by what.....
I have swopped the new rounded Coolermaster IDE cables I used[1x year old].

I now, don't think a new disk, will solve the problem, cause, if I disable IDE-2, the problem is also gone....I think it is Software/Speed related[HT + Faster Processor]
