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.

  • How can I solve the problem of slow computer or what nested steps I need to take more things that I mention below to slow computer speed?

    Hello

    I know that for your computer to start faster, you can disable in msconfig certain applications or auto-start services

    I also know that to make your computer faster to do a virtual and half larger than the memory size, more you will need to start it and the value of the same size virtual memory, for example start value 3000 end value3000.

    I know also some malicious spyware can slow down your computer.

    In addition, you can add more memory to mke your computer more fast, your drive hard must be empty of 25%.

    In addition to these things I mentioned before nested thing wat do I check to solve the problem of slow computer?

    can you give me some?

    Thank you

    Johan

    The size of the virtual memory required will depend on the type of requests and is influenced by the installed physical memory. The 1.5 times value really applies to computers with a limited amount of ram and the use of virtual will decrease with an increase in physical (but remove never virtual memory altogether) while Shawn says investigate fitting over RAM.

    Setting the pagefile identical to max and min values will reduce fragmentation but was so moving to a less actively used by car.

    The largest suites 'internet security' may have much more impact than the plain simple AV (that's why I use MSE).

    By far the biggest kick in performance should be move to the SSD, it reduces by half my boot time.

    If a desktop computer fits a discreet graphics card, she discharge the graphic CPU and restores memory used.

    As well as Msconfig, check the contents of the process in the Task Manager tab. Most will be perfectly legitimate, but you can identify the odd thief of uninstalled programs.

    NOT tempted by claims of speed countless programs available. Rarely, they make a significant difference and can do serious damage.

  • 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.

    Hi Sarang_982,

    ·         When exactly you get the error message you at startup of the computer or when you open any application or when you try to run chkdsk on his machine?

    I suggest that you put your computer in a clean boot state, and perform the steps below.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    You will need to disable automatic disk check, and then run the disk of the WINRE (Windows Recovery Environment) command prompt check and check if the c: drive error (there) get fixed.

    You try to run the audit from WINRE for drive C: disk drive and if it helps. Here are the steps to open the command prompt in Windows RE:

    Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer by using the power button on the computer.

    b. do one of the following:

    1. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    2. If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

    c. on the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select repair your computer and press ENTER. (If your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer doesn't understand no repair preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has disabled the.)

    d. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

    e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt to open.

    f. Type "chkdsk/f" and enter.

    g. Type "chkdsk/r" entry.

    Check if the HARD drive is encrypted or not if yes then decrypt and see if it works well or not.

  • 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.

  • How to navigate on the disks to a computer using a command or powershell prompt

    Hello

    I wanted to know if it was possible to browse the readers of different computer from my computer. The two computers are on the same domain/network.

    Lets say that I am an admin on a network that has the right to access anything on the network. Each computer maps a network as a letter Mr. I drive uses the computer dellcomp1, and there is another computer on the network called dellcomp2. I want to be able to navigate to dellcomp1 to dellcomp2 and open his drive M and run a program. The program that runs I will get that I need information on dellcomp2. Is this possible?

    My goal is to be able to run this program to get the information I need to computers without disturbing the people who use computers. I know that I could just go to people's computer and run the program or the remote control even in their computer and run the program but I want to know if there is a way to do it without interaction with people who use computers.

    I know that in Windows PowerShell, I can navigate to more than just my C drive on my computer. If I could find a way to navigate to other computers and do the same thing my life would become a little simpler.

    Any information is appreciated.

  • 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?

  • Change the clip in slow computer

    I am now under first pro on a new computer build.  Enjoy a few previous comments, I'm on this forum.

    It worked fine, so much better than my old mac.  However, I ran a problem that significantly slows down my system:

    When I edit clips in the timeline panel, moving the length of the clamp to be more or less long, it takes a long time for the clips to adjust.  In the program window, it displays both clips side by side before he finishes the change in treatment.  First did not crash when this happens, I can still do other things, I can't just play what I have in the timeline panel.

    I suspect that, although I'm not sure that it may have something to do with the way that I put in place the hard drive and the drive working.  I hoped it would speed up my work flow and initially for a day or two, I have no problem.

    I have an SSD that I have the OS and Applications on.  I also have a regular reader I partitioned in 4 drives:

    1 media

    2. export files

    3. make and previews

    4. media cache

    When this took probably place that I moved the Cache of media and Previews and rendering for Media Player in the hope, it would solve the problem.  There can be no.

    I made just one example of this edition before I wrote this, and it is still in process...

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

  • Access the disk very slow and steady

    Running VMWare Workstation v6.5.0-118166-Build, on Windows XP SP3 host (Dell Optiplex 755).  VM sessions are stored on internal 500 GB SATA 3 GB of disk.  After Windows XP SP3 is started in a virtual machine session, system response seems very slow; IE, by clicking on an icon takes several seconds to respond, launched apps take unusually long to load, etc.  Symptoms persist for several minutes after the start of the session XP.  Meanwhile, the indicator disk in VMWare Workstation shows status bar access the constant disk.

    I defraged the session, both within Windows and using the VMware Workstation defragmentation utility.

    Anyone have any ideas why this disk access continues for so long?

    Thank you

    Jack

    Yes, snapshots are, as well as all the contents of the folder of the virtual machine.

    Well, it seems that you have.  Using a virtual machine of independent origin identified the problem as long as the virtual machines themselves, who all had the same problem, because they inherited from their parent, all 46 chromosomes from the same source.

    So unless you want to determine what virtual machines is defective, you may be ready to mark this as a response.
