Question

Windows 7 freezes after HDD Power Down

by otisg1922 Jan 11, 2013 11:34AM PST

My system freezes (the mouse & keyboard do nothing) sometime after the HDD has powered down. Changed the 20 min time to more than the hibernate time as a work around. Trying to figure out why this just started happening.
