Whenever I play a game explore HARD drive go all wacky. Never seen this problem before today.

This NEVER happened before a few days ago. Don't know exactly when that I didn't play for a few days. I could alt tab off games, whenever I wanted to before that without any problems whatsoever.

Explorer keeps jumping from memory use normal and low of 10 MB and 30 MB, to the use of 500 MB, 1 GB, and slightly above, the use of half of my ram to 2 GB. Explorer goes from normal to that in a moment, when this occurs. That cannot be good. I just noticed that this happens when you do something more intensive you use Firefox or playing a video. First of all, I thought it was just when I alt tab out of any game, Mass Effect 2 in particular right now. When I alt label off ME2 it takes a few minutes for the drive to stop thrashing and to explore to stop using as much ram. Also, everything goes very very slow, virtually frozen since a few minutes. But I also tried a much much much less intensive game (Halo 1) and the same thing happens, it stops just less than a minute. It shouldn't happen even for a few seconds.

I just downgrade my GPU driver to see if he'll fix it (did not help) and I noticed the Explorer do the thing of the use of huge ram for a few seconds during the driver installation. That is how I know that it is not just about games as I thought initially. Also after I alt tab out ME2 after that I'm able to do things again once my HDD will always continue to do things for more than a few minutes. I watched the resource monitor to see which accesses the HARD drive. It seems to access many things unnecessarily. I have screenshots of the resource manager of the monitor and the task during the activity. Look at ways out of whack to me. If you need I can post a hijack this log journal and combofix.

If you have a setting in the bios. For the cpu cache, L1 or L2 cache, > settings > writeback, writethru.

Choose the writeback and see if that helps, don't know if it'll work or not, but it may be useful...

Looks like just a problem that I had where the computer seemed a little slow performance and could not find a reason any for her.

or

If it's showing the C drive is full remove unwanted files & Internet issues! This will help you

or remove the unwanted program by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE, end the process of unwanted programs. Try this also.

Note: it is not recommended to have more than 20 MB of data on the desktop, you can have shortcuts for each file, however there should be no large files or executables stored on the desktop, as the computer reads the contents from the desktop to the start so that it starts before your home screen appears.

Follow this thread here. If you are referring to the first post by Malkeleah, it gives a lot of good references on speeding up your PC's startup process. Let me know if you still have any questions.

  • Blue screen Crash 0x7a error - whenever I play a game fullscreen (in this case, Fallout New Vegas)

    original title: Blue Screen Crash - whenever I play a game fullscreen (in this case, Fallout New Vegas)

    For some reason that I was constantly blue screen crashes whenever I'm playing Fallout New Vegas on my computer. I'm positive my computer takes care of everything, I will list the specs below. He broke down twice today while I played for a good two and a half hours before the first, but then when I rebooted and went back into the game, he has frozen almost immediately so I ended the process. Then I tried once more, maybe got 10 minutes of play until a third crash...

    Here are my specs;

    Biostar H55 HD motherboard Intel

    Intel i3 to 2.93 GHz processor

    Mushkin 4 GB Ram DDR3 (1333 MHZ)

    500 GB Seagate HDD

    NVidia GeForce GTS 450 graphics card

    Orion HP650D 650W PSU

    I went into the Device Manager and ensured that all my drivers are up to date, that don't seem to not be.

    Here are the final details of the accident.

  • Whenever I play a game it sends me on the desk.

    Hello

    I need a little help... whenever I play a game full screen I get randomly sent on my desk, during playback. I don't know why it does this I just got this computer having windows 8 preinstalled so nothing is changed on a component. It can be very annoying when you play a pvp game. I can't g ORetour in the game without a problem, it's just can be annoying to go to the office every 10-60 seconds

    Hello Ninja,

    The game could minimize if one of the following conditions is true:

    ·         Applications that run on the mode full screen, including games may reduce if there are all the prompts on the message error or an update. Check to see if you get any prompt to install an update or an error message when the game reduced to a minimum.

    ·         Other programs running in the background can also cause the game reduced to a minimum. Check if no program or an application is running when you play the game.

    You can also consider updating the video card drivers on the manufacturer's Web site.

    I hope that helps!

  • Internal hard drive has all of a sudden the write Protection

    Hello

    My internal hard drive has suddenly developed the write protection and has resisted each of my attempts to change this. I found issues related to external hard drives, but have not met a subject that bears on the disk system hard to develop this problem.

    The last State of operational activities that are known:

    My main hard drive read/write functions were fine the day before. The only things I did today were the usual activities like browsing the web, watching videos, etc.. The only thing I did of note has been download a Steam game, which required the U-Play from Ubisoft. I installed the game and U-Play, so the game went very well. Then I played another game of steam which does not need U-Play, then attempts to transfer files on a USB key.

    Steps taken to solve the problem:

    When you try to transfer files, warning "the disk is write protected" appears. I thought that it odd, as I had never met this caveat on this PC before. I discovered that all the files in the C drive have been suddenly write protected. My attempts to solve this problem include:

    • Deactivation of 'Read only' file level and folder settings. The settings app doesn't seem to be a problem, but the moving folder gave the warning and she returned to "read only".
    • What allows all permissions for the users and system Admins for drive C properties > Security (I found it odd that users have all permissions, when I clearly remember all the usual permissions enabled previously)
    • Reboot/boot scan running for drive C to properties error checking > tools > error checking, which reported no error.
    • Opened as administrator command prompt and entering 'diskpart', 'list volume', "select volume #', disk clear readonly attribute, readonly attributes volume clear." The clear drive has reported a failure, while the clear volume reported a success.

    None of these steps have managed to solve the question of write protection. Might this problem be possibly related to the downloaded game, or the program U-Play from Ubisoft? Is there something that I missed? What can I do else? I have documents and files that have not been backed up, but I don't want to lose.

    Thank you for reading, any help would be appreciated!

    I'm really sorry for your time. The culprit is revealed to be the key USB is write-protected, not the drive internal (phew!). I guess I panicked a bit and don't think to test with another stick of memory, which transferred files very well. Problem solved, I'll just reformat the wobbly flash drive.

    Thank you for sticking with it, even when I probably don't have too much sense, you have been very helpful and patient.

    Windows 7

    64 bit

    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220
    It does not give me an error message simply stops and restarts auto.
    When it reboots it just tells me that Windows has stopped unexpectedly.

    First - check that you have the latest drivers for your motherboard chipset, your video device, your audio device and your network devices.  The first place to look for those who are on the Web site for your computer model & specific brand:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=4148392&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&lang=en&cc=us

    When you select your operating system (Windows 7 64-bit) I see that HP ony supplies those who they provided with the system originally.  It's practically worthless.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=4148392#n177

    Yes, where to from here?  I would say that you should at least install the latest video card driver - as more modern games can use those strongly...

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/Win7-WinVista-64bit-301.42-WHQL-driver.html

    Download and install it.  If possible, you still have the original driver installed - this is more recent than most 30 months.

    It's an AMD 785 G chipset card mother configuration, if their site is correct.  Looks like you can download and install latest drivers from AMD for this also:

    http://support.AMD.com/us/gpudownload/Windows/pages/raid_windows.aspx

    I'd say it's a good start.

    What else?  It could very well be a heat problem.  Since it is a desktop - I suggest she get everything, buy some canned air for cleaning electronices and opening of this case and blow off any dust.  It can be quite the accumulation.  After blowing out, make sure that all the components that look like they 'plug' firmly/well connected.  Carefully.  Then, put the cover on and connect.

    Make sure that there is enough air around the case - put a fan in front of him if you have to.
