Sound like a problem with a diskcacheing program or a hardware 
conflict.  I had a problem and  the ide and scsi controller where 
using the same I/O range!  Talk about strange happenings.  Another 
time the sound card was using a port the video card was using and 
windows would start playing a never ending opening or closing wav 
and never shut down!  I had to compare the I/O address in the 
document to find that!
