I should also note that I'm using Nvidia drivers 180.13 with a GeForce 9800 GTX, or GTX 560 Ti (when the latter is working--in process of RMA). Some previous posters have mentioned a possible link to the video card and its drivers.

I'm currently doing a badblocks on my Linux drive, but in Disk Utility, there's something I thought I should mention, which I don't entirely understand:

5. Reallocation Sector Count: Good - Normalized: 200; Worst: 200; Threshold: 140; Value: 0 sectors.

Does this mean that no sectors currently in use are bad, but 200 have been reallocated; or that the 200 number is some kind of setting for when to worry, and there have been no such incidents? I don't know whether this could relate to this bug, but if it does, it would be good to know what I'm looking at.

Thanks, all, for your interest in this bug.
