Windows 10: Hard Drives: What's a "Frozen state"?

I'm running into problems with one of my HD (Toshiba N300 4TB). It hangs and freezes for 5 minutes a lot per hour so I'm getting hundreds of the following warning entries in the Event Viewer:
Source: Disk
Event ID: 153
The IO operation at logical block address 0x18c6c6a8 for Disk 0 (PDO name: \Device\0000002c) was retried.

Source: storahci
Event ID: 129
Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued.

I ran the Toshiba Storage Diagnostic Tool and it detects the drive as "Frozen". I have no clue what this means, nothing is explained in the tool manual. A Google search gives me result for password protected HD or something which is not the case of my HD.

Do you have any idea what this means?




I really don't know how to solve this freezes issue, if you have a suggestion, I'd be happy to look into it!

Frozen restart screen

Hard to do what you say to do when everything is frozen! No mouse or keyboard to get past "choose your keyboard layout"

 

Windows 10 Preparing Automatic System Repair

Hello guys,

Recently I was attempting to load something that required modifying a certain DLL on my computer. After 3 BSOD's trying to figure the application out, my computer entered "automatic repair" mode. Every time it loads up, I just get a frozen black screen after
"preparing automatic system repair".

I have an SSD which windows is installed on, and a hard drive where all of my games and videos are on.

I've tried the following:

-attempted to reinstall windows on my SSD:

Every time I do this, I get a frozen purple screen when the disk loads up

-Unplugged my hard drive and attempted to boot windows

Black screen that says: please restart and arrange boot order (SSD is being loaded)

-Unplugged my hard drive and inserted my install disk into my optical drive in attempt to reinstall windows

Frozen black screen instead of purple

What can I do?????

Look at the second and further replies. This may help.

 

Your Google search is correct. The Security State being 'Frozen' just means that you cannot change the security state, such as setting a password if you wanted to. It has nothing to do with the 'hangs' you may be experiencing.

Is there a reason you have it on raid port?

 

Thanks for clarifying this Frozen state.

@Samuria there's absolutely no reason for the RAID port. On my P8P67, I have 6 SATA ports. 2 of the INTEL ports are faulty "by design" if I could say (see: Intel's Sandy Bridge chipset flaw: The fallout - CNET ) so I'm using only the 2 working INTEL SATA ports (Samsung SSD + DVDRW Drive) and the 2 MARVELL ports (2TB Seagate + 4TB Toshiba). I'm not sure these ports actually have sth to do with RAID, I don't know how RAID is working, I'm not using it.
