Possible fault on 2x Acer Revo's

slipd · 18 Mar 2011 at 17:18

Hi guys,

Periodically, well, at least once or twice a session my parent's two acer revos freeze - sometimes for up to a minute! I've had a look in event viewer and they both have an application warning in common:

Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued.

I'm guessing its a hard drive-related problem? Any ideas

Try running a diagnostics on the hard drives, using seatools or some other diagnostic software.

My revo has a Hitachi drive, and they really are ****. I have seen one video of a guy taking his apart and he has a Scorpio Blue in his, which of course is good.

The amount of 2.5 Hitachi drives I've replaced is quite shocking.

Mines uses the Hitachi drive aswel, I was a bit gutted when I realised. It must be the american versions that get the Wester Digitals.

Hitachi drives are crap, that's not to say that's your problem all the same. Run a diagnostic to make sure.

Yeah, sorry for the delay mate!

Both machine now appear to be freezing more than ever with below error:

I tired seatools but that doesn't seem to work on the revos? HD Tune says everythings fine
