Yep.
The article is spot on.

My son's games PC sometimes gets quite warm when playing (and crunching DC at the same time)
He was having some problems with a CD-ROM yesterday.
A reboot gave us no joy.

I checked the mode setting on the device and it had reverted from DMA to PIO.
I set it back to DMA again and rebooted.
Checked the device setting again and and it was still DMA.
The CD-ROM worked no problems.

I'll keep an eye on it but I think that case needs another fan.

Stupid windows! If they are going to downgrade a performance setting they should {insert expletive here} well tell you.
Even worse it doesn't notify you of the problem like it should do in the first place.
I found nothing in any of the event logs. Grrrrrrrr :evil:
