LHC writes checkpoint data every so often, and while it does so it's waiting on Windows to write the data to the disk. This might account for what you see.

What can I do please :( You have a disk problem or misconfiguration. Check it (DNA access, Raid pb, full disk ..) and repost your result with your OS/memory/Disk config etc ID: 14200 · Reply Quote

There's nothing wrong with letting your hard drive turn off. It helps the drive run cooler. I'm not the LHC Alex. Just a number cruncher like everyone else here. ID: 14228 · Reply Quote
