hi all need your help before i drop kick my external hard drive
ive recently swapped to a new motherboard (tomahawk x570) and now i have an issue with one external hard drive.
Everytime i try to transfer something to it it hangs at random % it wont go any further and it stalls my pc. As soon as i disconnect it my pc works again. I can read from it and copy stuff off the hard drive i just cannot transfer to it.
Ive been to device manager and enabled write caching, ive checked for bad sectors and none of this fixed my issue.
The external was working fine on my other motherboard and maybe just a coincidence that its decided to play up on my new motherboard
I have another external which works fine to transfer too.
Ive plugged it into the laptop and i can transfer to it no problem
I tried to format it on my pc and it just hanged again so i formatted it on my laptop again with no issues ive now plugged it back into my pc with a nice clean empy external and it still hangs on transfer!!
Ive done a new install of windows a new driver install and still no luck.
Can anyone help me out ?
