100% disk usage, computer almost un-usable

jboydgolfer · Feb 15, 2018

i bought a couple HDD docks a few years back with USB 3.0. I gave one away to a good member here on TPU, and the cheaper of the two, i kept , once every couple months i plug a Spare Shitty old WD Blue i have into it, and run a full system back up (C\ drive) . its more a peace ofmind thing than anything, since my PC is 100% Samsung Evo 850, but everything dies eventually...and win10 has given me a few scares in the last year with shoddy updates.

BTW did you have onedrive on it? it's aria debig files get hella huge I'm talkin like 100GB I've had that and I stopped using onedrive entirely bc of that and even last week's update didn't fix it. They won't even listen to me and I have a premium 2TB account.

Wife's 6 month old Asus does this. It last about 1/2 hour, then good to go. Thanks remixedcat for bumping this.

Did you do a clean install when you changed the CPU, if not that may have caused the issue.

I replaced the hard drive with a new one and now everything runs much faster and better. Oddly while reclaiming some files and deleting all windows files and other stuff off the old drive actually made the 100% disk usage on that drive go away, but the drive is already dieing.

Wife is bringing me a new WD black 1tb from bestbuy in an hour. now i need to figure out to move everything over.

Yup. Bad drive.

I have a latest WD velociraptor 250GB, 10000RPM, 64M cache. it should have been the most powerful driver in SATA HDDs(I mean access time) but it still takes me 1 minute to start win10. and task manager often shows that it is of 100%....eh...maybe I need a 16GB optane...XD

You might not know how to optimize the services

i would check if you knocked the cable when you swapped the cpu as the drive might be ok and the cable (its connection) is the issue. failing that the drive is on the way out, as said.

Run CrystalDiskInfo to exclude hardware issues. To pinpoint what's using the disk, open Task Manager and go to second tab. Down below is Resource Monitor. There you can see which process exactly is doing disk writes and reads the most. This way you can pinpoint the offender that's taking over your HDD.
