Well call me a guinea pig…
I’ve got good news and bad news… well the bad news is all mine.
The good news, it works.
I was able to disable the idle timer (or change it)
The bad news, it didn’t fix my issue of having the OS lag every once in a while for 5-30 seconds.
I’ll have to look at it being either software (reinstall Win7) or it being a hardware issue (drive/motherboard).
It was working fine for months, and then all of the sudden it started doing the ‘lag’ thing.
I’ve been too lazy to pinpoint exactly how long in duration, or frequency it happens.
S.M.A.R.T. reports nothing wrong, and it looks as if the drives are healthy.
Suggestions?
