That worked out just fine for me.

Thank you for sharing!

It is an AMD K52De but I can't really find the right file, that's why I'm asking. I've been searching for it but I'm not sure about which one I should download.

Hello, I've been reading this thread, and I have the same problem. But I can't find the Sata controller, where did you download it?

Awesome, thanks for your help, it seems like it was some of the stuff I had working with explorer, maybe some pdf creator (phantom foxit) or some nero plugin, but anyway it is fixed now :D

Cool. I have nothing like it though, still dunno what might be causing the issue.

Exact same problem, only that mine freezes for about 30 seconds after doing almost any action. And then goes back to normal
