I'm a little embarrassed, but also perplexed. I think the solid hang ups (requiring a hard reset) I
was having were caused by a lousy f&^%&*ng SATA cable, that was coming lose from the disk. (cable
came with the WD disk) At least, after I noticed that, and got a cable with a locking mechanism, no
more hangups for 4 weeks now, and no other problems either. The only reboots were deliberate - once
a week after a backup.
Had I thought of it, I would have assumed a connection problem with a disk cable (while computer was
running), would cause an error message, instead of a solid hangup. Previously, I had tried leaving
the computer hung for more than an hour to see if some timeout would happen.
But no.

The D865PERL must have been a 1st generation motherboard with SATA.
There's no provision for cable retention. I've found the SATA cables that
come with the motherboard work best as they make a slight click when
inserted on the motherboard connector. While it doesn't take much effort
to pull the cable off, it does stay on well enough.

OTOH, I recently tried a locking SATA cable that came with a newer Intel
motherboard. When used on the D865PERL, the cable had no click and would
simply fall off with just the weight of the cable pulling downward when the
case was placed upright. So I went back to the original lockless cables
and all was fine.

The newer SATA design has an outer shell that is locked into by metal
springs on the locking SATA cable.

I think my original cable came with the HD. The new one I bought clicks when pushed onto the disk
connector (where the old one was coming loose), and it doesn't pull off easily.

Good eyes!! I assume therefore that since the Japanese do not
manufacture motherboards, the Chinese board makers use their own Chinese
manufactured cheap ****?
