Everytime my HD's spin up, Windows and Winamp freeze for a couple of seconds. About 5 seconds.

Crappy mobo huh?

I never had this problem on TheMajorMMX.

Is there any way to configure the power safe option in windows for both drives seperately?

Maybe I should use the BIOS feature, it can be configured for each HD seperately I think.

I do not want to leave them on all the time because I am mostly browsing TF and only using 1 or no drives at all. (TF must be entirely in my cache by now )

I think its winamp, i had to many problems with winamp in the past, but it also might be that your hdd cables are connected bad.

[TheMajor]

I reconnected my cables about 4356 times in the past weeks. And its not Winamp cause I have been using it for at least 2 years on my old computer without problems. I think its just the mobo.

[comrad]

well why would it be the mobo, its only like 15 years old! lol ,(joking, for those that dont know what a real ipod spam is and what a joke is) (again that is a joke to)

[TheMajor]

Cause mobo's can suck, too. And its the only part (besides CPU) That has changed since I upgraded to this crappy IBM.

worth trying new cables too ??

in winamp, set the priority to above normal and see if that stops it from freezing.

It also happens without Winamp running.
