100% Disk Usage on Secondary Drive
Awesome I believe I found the fix.
I was browsing some other forums to figure out what was going on. It seems page filing was the main culprit.
Whenever RAM usage was allocated to the maximum it would dump the rest of the task on my secondary drive (not sure why it defaulted to my secondary at least).
Anyway, I turned off page filing for the secondary drive, did a restart, and tried to replicate the problem. This time It reached 100% RAM usage but now my SSD began taking the load.
When my SSD is at 100%, it doesn't make 'as much' of a hassle as my secondary hard drive, Windows does hang but not for a very long time.
Since I didn't really want to be limited by that either, just cutting in half my page file usage for my SSD, it only gets to around 60-70% usage which allows me to do everything else that I need to without stutter.
Main Culprit: Not having enough RAM and Windows 8.1 Optimization.
Thanks, I'll be doing some more testing to 100% verify my issue is resolved.
