I have to re-occuring errors on SQL Server 2005 running on a virtual machine. The more pressing error is the "SQL Server has encountered 1 occurrence(s) of I/O requests taking longer than 15 seconds to complete on file" [Typically different file each time].
I also have a CPU not synchronized error and have read that IO errors can be caused by a "CPU Drift". I am not sure what a CPU drift is exactly and wondering if - this error is what is actually causing the I/O error to occur. Thanks you!
(Second error) "The time stamp counter of CPU on scheduler id 1 is not synchronized with other CPUs."
