Acronis hangs, then restarts my PC

I have Acronis TI-11 running on Vista Business. Yesterday my incremental backups stoped working and now I cannot complete a backup of any kind. The backup hangs with 2-6 minutes left, and then restarts my PC. Looking at the event logs afterwards I find an entry that says "The default transaction resource manager on volume C: encountered a non-retryable error and could not start"

I have the latest version. I have downloaded the acronis drivers and enabled logging, however no log file is generated. I've run chkdsk /r /f and defragged. I've also deleted and recreated my page file. Not sure where to go from here.

Daily backups are essential to me. Please advise.

Thanks.

 

More...The last time it hung, before it restarted the PC an error message flashed which stated: The instruction at 0x6ce864ea referenced memory 0x6ce864ea. The required data was not placed into memory due to an I/O error Oxc000000e.

 

That error message sounds like a Vista error - maybe this link might help.

Still more...

I have no anti-virus installed. I also tried turning off the compression, and ignoring bad sectors. I was able to do a folder backup of my important documents so it is working on some level.

When I use 'show log' the last entry says "Locking partition C:..."

 

Thanks, I'll try this and get back to you.

 

Microsoft are not that helpful - the error code according to them means

0xC000000E, or STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE: the drive went unavailable, possibly a bad hard drive, disk array, and/or controller card.

They advise and I quote

That means in my estimation - throw your computer at the wall and turn it into an ornament. Have you tried swearing at it?

The fix from that link didn't help. I'm trying a different backup location now to see if that will make a difference.

 

Very annoying.

 

FYI- this worked. Now I'm going to get some sleep and I'll see what can be done about my USB drive tomorrow.

 

OK, my USB drive otherwise works perfectly. It seems that something in the Acronis process is causing it to hang right at the end of a backup. I tried splitting the backup into smaller files, and it created many of them, but still failed creating the last file. The USB drive is NTFS.

Any ideas?
