• 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?

  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

• The disk of light and SDS Cache activity

  I have a relatively new W530 with the installed at the factory 16GB drive HARD drive cache and the ExpressCache software (working properly according to the Lenovo-recommended test). I want to know if the drive activity light shows HD activity only or also SDS hides.

  My observation is that for a long time the drive activity light is on permanently. The first time that this has happened, the warranty support told me that the HD failed and sent me a new. (They don't seem to know anything on the internal tables of health HD I thought existed and could be interrogated with a special software). Anyway, this seemed to solve the problem for a few months, but it is recurring lately.

  Looking again at the Task Manager/Performance tab/Resource Monitor tab / Disk, I can see that the larger disk of the user's ExpressCache service (as it was the first time). I stopped this service and set it to manual, and the constant activity stopped shortly after. He has not re-emerged in the last hour or two. Although the light is off now (for the most part), I still don't really know what that means; the first question remains...

  No matter what light you can pour on the light function (no pun intended) disk activity would be appreciated! -JCW2

  
  

• 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.

• Size of the disk Dell R730 RAID5 and C for Windows OS

  I bought Dell R730 server with 1.2 x 4 HDD to.

  It comes with RAID 5 fault with two logical volumes, 1.8 & 1.3 to each. When I install Windows 2008 R2 operating system, I have two partitions C 1.9 TB with D = 1.6 TB

  Why this raid is defined this way? Is it possible for me to destroy the default raid and set a new raid5 like 1.4 TB x 4 HARD drive as a single raid volume?

  Hello

  Yes, you can delete the virtual disks in the controller and create a large virtual drive. In the system configuration, make sure it is set to UEFI boot and not the BIOS boot mode. It is necessary to boot a plu virtual disk of 2 TB.

• The database file Thumbs.db is necessary for the Web site application

  I work with a folder of images created in "My pictures", I copied the image folder in my site folder and inserted images on pages using Kompozer html.  I download using Filezilla.  When I open the folder, an icon of Thumbs appears at the end of the list of image files and is usually quite large [350, 000 bytes =].  It does not appear when I opened the folder on my computer, only Filezilla.  It is a necessary instrument for my images display correctly on my site?  I'm "challenged by electronic means" so that any help would be appreciated by mos.

  Thank you

  Thumbs.DB is a hidden file in Windows with thumbnail views of image files in a folder.  Probably, it is not necessary on your web site.  Try to set up the site without him.  You can always download Thumbs.db on the site if needed. Boulder computer Maven

• 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 lost the disk to cam, you will reinstall for me

  I lost my cam on windows vista drive would you please send it to me to reinstall.

  Hello

  Are you referring to the driver for your camera? If so, you can visit the manufacturer's website. If it's built in camera on a laptop, then visit of the one who made the site of the computer. If it is an external camera, go to the one who makes the device itself.

  Then, all you need to do is download the drivers from their support site and you should be good to go.

  Startup options (including safe mode)

  Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
