Re: Freeze problems when using primocache
It is working perfectly at the moment! I shall post if any issues recur. I will try to 'stress' the system a bit to see if that replicates it. This might be nothing to do with npelov's problem, but when I read his post I knew I had recently been experiencing something similar.

Re: Freeze problems when using primocache
Try checking the Windows Event Log - freezes which affect the mouse cursor also are typical of a hardware problem (disk or disk interface), which could be caused by a loose connection or cable. Look in particular for event entries reporting a timeout.

Re: Freeze problems when using primocache
Everything is working perfectly for me now. 2.4.0 seems to be a very good version...

@gotterdammerungly, thank you very much for the feedback and follow-up!
Re: Freeze problems when using primocache
Well I had it happen once or twice with no write caching at all. It is less frequent though.

Re: Freeze problems when using primocache
sad to say there was another total lock-up tonight, requiring a hard-reboot.Primocache does seem to be involved. The Sandisk Extreme 64 GB is connected straight into a USB3.0 port. It can easily shift 200mb/s , and its access times are similarly good.I tried another SD drive, a 32, and it was just the same. these issues did not occur when i was using Primocache on both of these machines running Windows 8.1
The machine locks absolutely solid....sporadic activity flickers between the hard drive and the Sandisk Primocache drive. Data is passing through...but only vvvveeeeerrrrrryyyy slowly........
if you wait it could take house or never, if you reboot you might trash your PC
Life is too short.

Re: Freeze problems when using primocache
Okay...I am happy to try to help. I have reinstalled 2.2.0 as asked. I am trying to pin down exactly what situations this is happening in - but I use this PC for many tasks, and it is usually doing the same things. The only other significant factor that has changed with this machine is that it is now Windows 10, and personally I think 8.1 was much better and certainly more stable.
I shall report any incidents, and also if they go away with 2.2.0
Until now I have found Primocache utterly stable, reliable and a great boost to the performance of all my PCs. I consider it one of the most impressive pieces of software I have come across.
There is of course a good possibility that the problem lies with my machine, or the Windows 10 installation on it. However, I am pretty good at keeping a PC healthy and I do all the right stuff, regularly.

Re: Freeze problems when using primocache
Yes, we'd like to know if the version 2.2.0 has such problems with the same Windows OS in the same machine. Let's wait for the results.
Thank you very much!

No problem so far with 2.2.0.
