Svchost.exe creates the disk activity that freezes my computer for several minutes
After installing Windows 7 with everything working well, I started now get frequent (every few minutes) drive activity periods that are so intense that I can't do anything until they stop. I tried to disable services (indexing, superfetch), my pagefile is set to automatic and the memory usage is only 50%. I even uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2010 to see if it would eliminate the beating. Even with only a single program running (I tried IE, Opera and Firefox as the browser), I still have this problem. Nothing seems to stop it. I'm going to uninstall W7 and go back to XP. Any suggestions?
Hello
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.
No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.
It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.
Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT and add Prevx to be sure that he is gone.

The disk activity light Board is necessary for my laptop to function?
Hey, so while dissassembling my HP Pavilion G6 1154, I accidentally, through my own clumsiness, managed to break the cable connecting the light activity (640215-001) Board to the motherboard. I would just buy a replacement, but they are expensive and local, or at low cost and far enough. So my question is my laptop can work without it? is it really necessary?
Not all laptops have same them so not essential but I would really like to see at a quick glance if the hard drive is connected.

Remove the material creates the disk activity
I have an external hard drive, it is encrypted for Bitlocker. I have only checked in the performance monitor, there is absolutely no activity on this drive. Then I try safely remove the player and boom, Security Essentials comes in some internal (system volume or almost) directories. Then there is the system that accesses $Mft and other things and then comes an error that the drive is in use and cannot be deleted. No idea what is wrong and what can I do to solve this problem (unless you finish the session or restart the system). Y at - it no harm in simply pulling the plug when there is no activity?

I get out of the freeze with ctrl alt del, but it does not download the directx file. I need it to run a demo game, I got from the internet, it is called "spore creature creator trial edition. How can I download the file? Alternatively, could you tell me what is wrong with him?
In addition, the file is:

Thank you for posting. You will need to download the DirectX 9 .0c and install it to the necessary file added to your system. It will not replace DirectX 10, but you give the necessary file to make your game work. I have included the link below to download.

Original title: at the start of Windows there is always a dialogue box that flashes on the screen, but I've known idea what it is.
How can I determine which program is using this dialog box? I also don't expect high utilization of the processor (over 50%) after that I connect sometimes for several minutes. I see not all applications running in the Task Manager. The amount of CPU utilization in the services tab doesn't match what I see compared to what the gadget is read in my sidebar. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Process / task manager has a svchost.exe thatreally slows down and sometimes crashes my computer. Windows XP Media Center Edition with
SP3. Is there any solution for this?
It is usually associated with the Services. One instance of "svchost" can support multiple services.
The first step is to download and run the "Process Explorer" from Microsoft
<>http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653 >
This program is the the Task Manager on steroids (once you try it, you'll never go back to the Task Manager). Once you start, you should have no trouble to identify which instance of "svchost" consume all your CPU. When you do this, place your cursor on this "svchost" in the process column. A pop-up menu lists the services that are currently covered for this instance of svchost.New commissioning Services (start-> Run-> "services.msc"). Find running services that correspond to the list that you obtained in the previous step. A double click on this service will give you a screen that will allow you to Pause or stop this service. Try to stop the appropriate services until you see your CPU down to normal. This will determine what service is the consumption of the CPU. How you handle this from here will depend on what you find.
(As a side bet, my money is on the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service.)
HTH & good luck,

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.
For more information about Process Explorer, see here:

I often have problems with General slowness and svchost uses a lot of ram.
Any ideas?

First of all, it's normal (in general).

When I connect windows, the hard disk works for several minutes
Hello
A few months ago and after installing some windows update (XP Sp2), I see when I login to windows, drive hard work continuously for several minutes and speed goes down.
What windows software using the hard disk with log in?
Thanks in advance

What you see could be linked to a task that you have schedules (such as anti-virus, defragmentation of the hard drive, etc)
Check the tab startup in MSConfig for items which currently running as part of the startup of your PC. See
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310560
The foregoing is for XP, but also applies to Vista.

5 m is the maximum length of a USB cable. A lot of points 3 and 4 on the above page dealing with how to deal with scenarios beyond this length.

I have a question: if I use an OEM of Windows 7 key from a pc by the same company that makes mine (ASUS for example), it will be valid? Note that my PC doesn't have the mobo it is changed or upgraded. I ask because a friend gave me a key which it has been used on another computer (same System Builder) saying that it will improve the Windows 8 operating system, and it will no more need. I really don't want to have any nagging restriction because my copy has been hacked, upgrade in Greece, costs 100 euros.The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
