Drive timeout during paging operation etc.

[FireShadow]

My PC started giving these errors in the Event Viewer
windows was locking up for around 30 seconds at a time and then carrying on without problems

Shutting down windows or attempting to Standby was blocking forever

I opened the case and pushed all the cable connectors firmly into their sockets
since then everything has been OK

Id recomend running HDTune's drive check see if theres naything amiss, sounds like might be on way out/developing a few bad sectors
