hard drive priority light goes nuts while playing crysis

[gordesky1]

im geting realy bad lag when my hard drive light comes on sometimes it will make it stop for like 5secs than it will go again...

 

i even tried everything on low and it still does it so i know its not because i run with high settings plus i have a 4850:)

 

but this realy kills my performence if the light doesint come on everything is realy smooth but when the hard drive starts loading something it goes nuts and i get under 10fps or even lower:(

 

i also have raid 0 so it should be fast.

 

what causes this?

 

i was thinking its ram but i have 2.5gbs so it shouldint be a problem.

[gordesky1]

hmm ok seems like it was the 10mhz overclock was doing it WTH?

 

whould that cause that? like right now i have it at 645 core and 1045mem if i put it to like 655 or 660 and 1060 mem it makes the hdd goes nuts.

 

seems like i cant overclock much overstock with this card but if i lower my processor overclock it overclocks more?

 

 

 

edit hmm still doing it when stock.

 

can a raid get mess up somehow?

 

what it seems like im runing out of memory but how can i with 2.5gbs? or maybee crysis pushs it over that with vista?

wats your PSU

Is it scanning for viruses or spyware when you're playing?

[gordesky1]

nope i disable my virus scanner and spyware scanner and it stil does it..

 

my psu hiper 580watt i was thinking it was a psu problem but how can i be sure?

[gordesky1]

will it hurt if i hook up a 2nd psu and run some stuff off it to see if theres a diffrence?

 

like the hard drives?

 

the psu i was gona try was the one that came out of my xe783 which is a 100watt or a 150watt will that power the hdds?

 

what i like about that psu is its realy small and will fit right in the drive cage:)
