Is it set to power save the drives, it's possible that it just gets to the point of power down, and then needs to bring them back.

The other thing I think of is a dodgy drive power connector.

Are you sure its not one of the fans? - I had a PSU fan die once, and fortunately it didn't take anything else with it. A failing CPU fan might cause thermal throttling, though I'm not sure if the Celeron supports it.

@02coled in future to make a screen shot just press yer print screen key whilst holding the ALT key and this will capture the front most screen then paste into paint and save out as a jpg :)


not sure what you used to make your screen shot but as scarecrow points out the current ones are far too tiny to read :(
but no doubt if you had ghost running and polling or scanning your drive for changes this is what is turning or ticking the drive over :)
