Are you actually trying to use the computer? I have found that in not using the computer
the problem seems to go away.
It is very worrysome this issue manifests from so many perceived "poor settings".
This sure makes it seems as though XP an 2K are quirky and fickle.
I might suggest you go back to Windows 3.1 as nobody reports problems with that platform.
(Can't beat logic like that can you.)
But before you do that, take a look at these and see how it might apply to your situation
(hint: don't think there is only one cause as there is likely multiple given the
reports here)

I myself have:
*disabled write cache (property for the drive)
*turned off indexing (how did that get turned back on)
*adjusted my power setting although i did not see it as an issue
*reloaded sp4 and ensuing hotfixes
*dropped my controller and drives drivers to get a new plug and play take on the
world
*reset my bios to make it forget whatever it might want to remember
*disabled block mode io for the drives
*prayed
One cannot seem to say with fidelity the problem is conclusively gone but one can
certainly know when the problem is at hand.
