Excessive disk activity

• Windows - Excessive disk activity and "ccmexec.exe.

  CCMEXEC.exe is constantly rummaging through my hard drives, apparently looking for something.  It does not appear to produce any type of output file (at least none that I can find).

  I created a batch file to disable the SMS service and kill ccmexec.exe, however this isn't the best solution.  Because the SMS service allows corporations to keep my computer up to date, I do not want to turn off permanently.

  Is there a way to know more about looking for the ccmexec.exe?  And what he does with the information that it finds?

• My Dell laptop has begun to consume 100% of his memory and then eating my hard disk activity, causing the light becomes solid.

  After the restart after that the most recent windows update, my computer dell laptop began to consume 100% of its memory, and then eating my hard disk activity, causing the light becomes solid. The computer is severely slow, I checked for viruses, malware, and registry errors with no chance to address the issue. The computer is a memory dump, but I could so he could properly start without doing a memory dump, it becomes all just slow and unresposive at the simplest of tasks. Any ideas of what it could be? What to check? How to fix?

• Satellite Pro L10, the hard disk activity?

  Hi, I noticed that on my new L10 Pro of Satellite keeps it hard drive light flashing every 3 seconds approximately and I can also hear disk activity, even when he's just sitting there idle. I was wondering if this is normal, if so why? I was a little suspicious, so I checked all processes running, nothing suspicious. I thoght maybe it's because my drive is fragmented, then defragmented but no change. I thought maybe theres a kind of disk being cached on. I have 512 MB of ram and adequate committed virtual memory, if its doing with VMM is this normal?

  Hello

  It is not easy to say what the reason for this. I had a similar problem with my Satellite. The HARD drive was very often active and very slow. In my case, the reason was the antivirus software. The scanning of the HARD drive has been the almost permanent process and something to work on the machine was almost impossible.

  After removing the antivirus software HDD is fast. Now, I found a new and there is no problem more.

• Equium L350 starts (led on) but no HARD disk activity

  Hi all

  I got this Toshiba Equium L350D since September 2008 and it has not been used often, it worked fine two days ago, but yesterday I turned on it, with attached cord and the "cap" light came and was solid, and has therefore the power and battery indicators, I could hear the fan and the light on the cd/dvd was on. But that's all, no hard disk activity at all.

  I could not turn off without unplugging the power cable and remove the battery as the power button does not seem to make a stop if pressed during 10 seconds.

  All the advice, set apart from taking it to a repair center, because I really don't want to spend too much money on it.

  Hi dude

  I think that you have no choice as to contact a technician for laptop.
  The point is that this issue sounds like a hardware problem serious, I think of the mother or the CPU issue because it was not possible to stop the unit by pressing the power button for 10 seconds

  The laptop was purchased in September 2008?
  Well, if you have saved the laptop on the Toshiba driver European page then the guarantee must be valid for 24 months. Which means that the guarantee must be still valid
  So you should not have to pay anything

• Satellite 3000-214: after CPU upgrade no screen and no HARD disk activity

  Hey all,.
  I have a 3000-214 Satellite that comes originally with a PIII-M 933 Mhz. (SL5CG)
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5cg.jpg

  I ordered on eBay a second hand replacement (1133 Mhz) CPU SL5CK. (same number of pins, the same processor family: RH80530)
  When I go in, the laptop starts, but there is nothing on the screen and no HARD disk activity.

  So I asked the seller if he had tested the CPU, it sent, he said no and sent me 2 CPUs of replacement, another SL5CG and a SL64Z (which does not appear on the Intel site for some strange reason, but which is of the same characteristics as the SL5CG..)
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5ck.jpg
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl64z.jpg

  The two processors give the same result with nothing on the screen and no activity of the HARD drive either.
  I checked my BIOS, it is the latest version: 2.30.
  Some laptops in the series 3000 Satellite (e.g. 3000-601), are delivered with a 1133 Mhz CPU (SL5CK) and also share the same bios exactly like my 3000-214. (upgrades to the bios on Toshiba website for my 214 & 601 are the same exact links and MD5 are equal). Also the 3000-601 & 3000-214 share the same chipset: Intel 830MP.
  But for some reason, it does not.

  EC which could I missed?

  It is always possible that all 3 processors that I was sent by the seller are dead, but it would be strange at this point, I think.
  So my question is, anyone have any idea what I might try to work or have experience with the upgrade a Satellite 3000 CPU?

  My warranty is looooong Sub anyway, so if a Toshiba employee could check in the basis of how fast max CPU can be used on the Sat 3000-214, I would be very grateful.

  Thanks a bunch for any info.
  Kind regards

  Alcahest

  Hello

  I studied a bit in the web and it seems that the Satellite 3000 has been bundled with Intel Mobile PIII 800, 850, 900, 1000 MhZ CPU

  I think that this will not work because of the speed of the CPU.
  In addition, I found this Toshiba document:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5300W5000XR01.htm

  It is said that it is not possible to replace the processor in a laptop Tosh because processors are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP tape carrier package.

• HP Pavilion 510 desktop PC: HP 510 desktop - no disk activity light

  I wanted to register my disappointment and disapproval than the HP Pavilion PC Office 510

  does not provide a disk activity light.  Otherwise, looks like a good solid system.

  @michael_coulter,

  Just for you, I downloaded and tested this indicator of hard disk activity of the task bar.    When he disappears, just press the 'up' arrow (show hiden icons) on the taskbar and drag taskbar icon.

• Is there a way to identify the reason for the disk activity?

  I am running Windows XP SP3. I often hear my hard drive makes a lot of disk activity as long as 20 minutes or more. No request probably appear in the Task Manager, and I don't think that the application using the more memory is necessarily the same responsible for application of the disk activity. I have not all the scheduled running backups, so this isn't the reason. Is there a software to help me identify what kind of reading/writing happens in the middle of this?

  Download Process Explorer.

• The disk activity slows computer to a halt

  Hi all

  I'm new and don't really know how things work here, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

  In any case, I just built a PC brand new and I'm getting my most SSD 120 GB disk activity up to 100% when he opened no process which is demanding. Basiclally what is happening is that my time of activity goes all the way up to max, causing windows to slow and even restart windows Explorer. Also, I got a BSOD message twice, but randomly. They were the two NPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION errors if it means something. It is running this miserable new computer and I would like to address it quickly. I tried many solutions including SFC \STARTNOW to see if there are errors with windows and they were fixed aparently. This seems to happen more often once I do start cold which means that I no longer use it and turned to nothing (no mode 'sleep' or restart).

  To clarify some things, it's a whole new SSD. I bought it is more than two weeks. I'm running on windows 64 pro 10 bits (a real one could add). I upgraded windows 8.1because it was cheaper just to upgrade to the windows. I'm running with two hard drives, SSD (the drive in question) in which I try my best to let him stay for OS and drivers only. I also have a toshiba 1 TB HARD drive for storing everything else (programs, files, ect.). I'm running on an AMD 7870IK a10 and 8 GB of DDR3 ram.

  Nothing is overheating and windows should be fine. If anyone has a suggestion or has experience with a problem like this. Can you please let me know as soon as possible so that I can begin to really enjoy this brand new computer.

  Thank you

  I'm sorry for the lack of my resolution, I solved not so long ago and I forgot about this post. In any case, I found that it was a mixture of a lot of problems. The first problem is that the windows 10 build that I had at the time (and even if I'm not mistaken) has a problem with the SATA controller drivers. Which would make sense that this problem occurred when any process was done on the SSD. Another thing that made my problem AMD display drivers. I have no idea why it was a problem, but the previous version of the current version fixed this issue. And finally, there are all sorts of drivers for the motherboard which were obsolete aparently that windows is not grateful. I used the driver toolkit to install everything that I needed.

  Again, I apologize for not posting earlier, but I hope this helps other peoples situations.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Mystery on this machine - a lot of disk activity

  My machine - under Vista Home Premium with all latest updates - seems to have a lot of disk activity, especially when waking upward or to the cold start. That, even when it is also slowed down - nothing running that I started.  I am connected via a wired router and have all the latest security software. Two other machines on my network do not have this problem.  The activity occurs even with disconnected network. How can I know what is running and stop it?

• Disk activity high start - CBS newspaper persist + DataStore.edb

  I am facing a problem with same high disk activity during each boot, for several minutes.

  I used the resource monitor to see what is happening and it whenever two points at the top of the list sorted in order descending of the column Total (B/s):

  • DataStore.edb . in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore, currently 1.13 GB in size.
  • CbsPersist_DateTime.log in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS, several files, on 0.5 GB - 4 GB in size.

  I have several questions:

  1. Why these files do not have the high disk activity even if no updates have been installed until the computer has been restarted?
  2. Y at - there no way how to limit the disk activity caused by the use of the DataStore.edb file above other than disabling updates (which are recommended to be activated) or do something with the treating process of updates?
  3. Is it safe and this will help if I delete the contents of the folder C:\Windows\Logs\CBS?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions. I have Windows 7 and it's the one big question I have.

• Csrss.exe high disk activity

  Csrss.exe is constantly reading e/s. You can hear the churning of disk as well as to see the activity with the Task Manager. I use Windows 7 64. I don't know what he thinks, he must do it, but I just want to stop it. If she did something like disk indexing, if the price is the constant disk activity then I have indexed disk.

  If anyone knows how I can stop this thing I would appreciate it.

  I am running out of ideas on how to determine the cause of my glowing disk activity led constantly and very slow computer and then hope you can offer any suggestions as to what to do short of re - install Windows.

  The problem goes away when I secure boot (all tastes). The problem remains when I clean the boot. I even finished by a force services/processes that survive the clean boot.

  I ran sfc and chkdks and neither found no errors. Resmon shows virtually no activity disk, processor, and memory after the machine installs start. Zero page faults.
