Drive Running at 100% after installing new Video Card

Yeah, not sure why you installed something else.......CTL+ALT+DEL, Task Manager, And either sort the process tab, or go to performance to see which drive is doing it.

You should also upload using the forum... not 3rd party garbage that will eventually break the links.. ;)




Another good reason not to install the kitchen sink is right here people... regardless if this was the problem or not. For NVIDIA drivers, I install what I NEED. That means drivers and Physx. That's it. :)
This doesn't really give any help at all. In the task manager there's nothing "large" that is being used. The constant complaints about Gyazo conflicting with XenForo is ridiculous regardless if you think that's the cause of my computer hitting the fan... you're wrong. I've had the program for roughly 3 years and have never had an issue with it

Malware bytes - uninstall this stuff - useless . Invoke it , only when needed
Exit Steam for now !

Most likely there is an installation process/es still running . Who knows what - Geforce /Steam , Windows Update .....?!! This hogs the hdd time The hdd queue should be full

Edit :
Remove the GTX 1070 . Restart . See what will happen . Shut down . Then install GTX 1070 in the slot and then drivers .

Start > Run > MsConfig > Diagnostics Startup > Hit okay > ... then restart your PC. Check your CPU Load / Memory usage. If its at normal levels and your HD is not at 100% , its most likely a program in the background that is sucking up all that resources. It sounds to me like you have something stuck in the background. If you are still reciving errors after Msconfig then it might be your Hard Drive...

I don't believe that is what @EarthDog was stating... it is that off site hosting sites sometimes purge files (pics), the hosting site disappears/shutsdown, or the owner may remove them and the thread will end up with a broken link message.
Plus, some do not like clicking links to off site links and would prefer local hosting, here, at TPU.

Also, try this... un-plug your Hard drive from the PSU line and try a completely different line, if you have one.
And, if it has not been tried... try a different data cable.
 
Let's try to stick to the topic of this thread shall we? Back and forth between members from here on out will result in points. Fair warning!
 
5 things that stick out for me are:
1) Chrome, make sure it is up to date/newest build.
2) Team Viewer, seem to remember that it was hacked a while back, so uninstall for now. I see TeamSpeak as well.
(others can chime in here)
3) AVAST, I have had issues upgrading W10 with it installed, so it could be causing high cpu usage.
4) Spotify, I think it is very invasive, disable on startup.
5) TiWorker.exe, what is it?
