After a power failure and restart, my Phoenix III 120G is running very slow and hanging after 5 minutes of barely working. The machine (built new in January) starts fast, but when I open task manager, it says it is working at a 100% max capacity of 100 kB per second--not megabytes, kilobytes. This is slower than my internet connection. After a few minutes of activity, it slows to a crawl and needs 30 minutes just to shut down. The processor is working under a 1% load, the RAM is at 14% capacity and runs anything already loaded just fine. The network shows no activity.
It is plugged into port #1 on my motherboard, which I assume is a non-marvell port, but I don't know how to tell the difference. I reset the BIOS settings to default, and double checked that all hard drives are set to run in AHCI mode, not IDE. I am running Windows 8 and tried refreshing it from the installation CD, which uninstalls all the programs, but saves the files. This also makes no difference.
Please advise; what else can I try?
