Sounds like your DMA got turned off.

The first thing to do is to right click on ?My Computer?, and hit properties.


Click the hardware tab, then select Device manager.

Then find IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, and click on your hardrive.

Click the advanced settings tab, then in the ?Transfer Mode? box you should see ?DMA If Available?. If you are seeing ?PIO Only? then you need to click on the box and change this to ?DMA If Available?.

Click the ?OK? button to confirm.

Check your ?Secondary IDE Channel?. For the same thing.

hi

for the DMA issue you need to uninstall the drivers in device manager then reboot... to get from PIO back to DMA

a reboot on its own will be good for clearing the ram out thats it..
