Intel Application Accelarator & Hypertreading

Problem:EventViewer Event ID:51
"An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation."
>>Whatching the blue bar on bootup, it sometimes hesitates for 2-3 sec, then I know
the problem has occured. At the moment I am booted up 100% without the problem.
>>I noticed on Internet a lot of users has this problem.
>>>This only happens during BOOT, near the end of it, blue bar...

##########
This has to do with speedisk mode=UDMA-5
#########
Details4 3.06Ghz,MB=GA-8IEXP Rev2.1, Chipset=845E, M=Twimoss 768MB.
##########

History-1:I never had this problem, till I upgraded from P4 2Ghz to P4 3.06Ghz with HT.
The MB supports HT. With HT disabled, the problem is gone. I managed to get rid of problem while on SP1 and upgrading the Intel Application Accelerator to 2.3....
Never saw it again...

History-2: Untill I upgraded to SP2 from CD. In the mean time I have proved it has to do with the IAA from Intel & Hypertreading.
1-If I disable HT, it never happens.
-or-
2-If I uninstal Intel IAA, with HT enabled, it never happens.

>>>But doing the above slows the PC noticibly down....

I have 2x diff makes of disks, Maxtor 40GB & WD 40GB, happens with both. They are not brand new, but the WD is 3.5 years, and max is 1.5 year.


Question-1oes anybody know more about this problem ?
>>This has to do with speed to the disk, via IDE/controller

Question-2o you think buying a brand new disk with 8MB cache could solve this problem.

 

Any suggestions ?

Problem Solved

I made a decission: I dished Intel Application Accelerator!

The influence of IAA: I proved the following:


To make the PC work,....

1-Disable HT, but then P4 runs 10c with cooling hotter...

2-Uninstall IAA.

3-Disable IDE2....If IDE2 is disabled, it also works 100%[Without CDROM & DVD]

After uninstalling literaly every possible thing from Device Manager and re-installing, I decided removing IAA was the best option. It clearly has a problem with IDE, effecting boot progress & prevent stuff from loading properly. If it hesitates on boot, I know the fault is on, after which the PC feels sluggish.

After uninstalling IAA this time, XP re-installed a newer version[2003] of chipset drivers, unlike previously[2001], so uninstalling the HAL etc, may have made the diff.
It boots right/smooth & feels right now.

Note:I have looked at my work PC[Dell], and there is no IAA installed either.


After 100's of reboots, I still did not reformat, and all is still in tact. I must say I gained some serious respect for XP-PRO/SP2.

 

Re: Problem Solved

Congrats, Izz!

I have never seen a really dependable assessment of the IAA. I have it on my main machine, but never saw any difference after I installed it.

I hope and trust that it's not just vaporware.

But I have no hard evidence.
