Topic: strange ASIO spikes when recording only :(

Hi there,
I'm using a HDSP Multiface box through PCI card, and it's until recently been fine...
For some reason now when i record, even on a single track with no effects (CPU load is like 1% and playback ASIO load is miniscule) soon as i start recording, there's spikes at approximately 1 second intervals that just make recording impossible - i get constant robotic interuption...

using the dpclat tool when not recording its all green but then goes up to between 4 and 8000u??

Ive tried going through components and disabling them but nothing seems to help (plus it used to be ok without any system changes)

using a quad core 3.59Ghz PC on winXP with 3gig of RAM.
driver version 2.94 and latest firmware update on card...

any ideas?? sad

Obviously the hard drive. Check PIO modes etc etc.
