For months my computer system has been having problems, and throwing

all kinds of errors.



In particular the dreaded "Event ID: 51", combinded with errors and

warnings about failures "during a paging operation".



HOGWASH!!!!!



I finally got fed up with it and dug in for the long haul. I took my

drive to work and mirrored it onto a known good drive.



Installed the alternate drive in my system, and all was well... for

about a month, then right back to the same old crap.



This time a purchased a new drive and mirrored again, and did

diagnostics on all the drives. All say OK. I put the NEW drive in, and

right away - paging operation errors - along with an entire host of

errors and warnings too numerous to list!



Finally, after much Googling, I found a suggestion which in my case

turned out to be the source of the problem...



The SATA Cable going to the drive in quesiton turned out to be the

problem!



I replaced the cable with a high quality one, and cleared all the

event logs.



That was 3 days ago. Since that time, "informational" log entries, a

couple of simple warnings (tracelevel...), my machine boots and runs

fast and clean.



If you get errors about a paging operation - especially if there is no

pagefile on the drive! - or Event ID 51, then check the simple stuff

first! Cables are inexpensive and simple to try.



Now you know!
