Hi
I purchased an Optimus IV 15.6" back in May. I'm very pleased with the laptop but I have experienced an intermittent freeze. Very occasionally the hard disk light stays on and the laptop freezes for 60s or so and doesn't respond to mouse clicks, keyboard input etc. After this the laptop behaves normally again. Anyone else noticed this odd behaviour?
The laptop is running Win 7 64-bit, i7, 16GB, with Intel 240Gb SSD primary + Scorpio 750GB secondary.
I also bought an Optimus V 17.3" for the wife back in July. This has a 240Gb SSD primary, i7, 8Gb, Win 7 64-bit, but this has been fine.
Here's my Optimus IV spec in full:
Optimus Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3630QM (2.40GHz) 6MB
16GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 8GB)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660M - 2.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
240GB INTEL® 520 SERIES SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 550MB/sR | 520MB/sW)
750GB WD SCORPIO BLACK WD7500BPKT, SATA 3 Gb/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm)
8x SATA DVD±R/RW/Dual Layer (+ 24x CD-RW)
Internal 9 in 1 Card Reader (MMC/RSMMC/SD: Mini, XC & HC/MS: Pro & Duo)
ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND
Intel 2 Channel High Definition Audio + MIC/Headphone Jack
GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® ADVANCED-N 6235 (300Mbps) + BLUETOOTH
3 x USB 3.0 PORTS + 1 x USB 2.0 PORT AS STANDARD
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit w/SP1
Here's an Administrative Event log entry which seems to occur each time the laptop 'freezes' :
Level=Error, Source=iaStor, Event ID=9
Detail: The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.
Any thoughts? Thanks for any advice!
