Error possibility #3 I read your touts and it just did not seem wright with what i have at my home (brand new hard drive that passed drive error test and my internet is limited by my ISP to 30kB/s) so my fear come back It is my first idea that proved right, my system regardless to the settings to be Always On in the Power Management is doing something to the hard drive (which is set to not fall a sleep) and it falls to sleep or slows down This of course happens only when i leave the computer for a long time, so for me to solve this problem i use AutoClick program for my mouse I set it to single click the mouse at interval of 1 second to my Desktop and leave the computer for days (Win XP used as my home file server) I hope this can solve your problems, waiting to see error #4 (hopefully not). EDIT: Not much of a tech guy but can it be the spikes are cosed by writing all the buffer to the drive for successfully setting it to sleep? Just an idea...
