here is my situation. recently my hard drive has been running at 100% all the time. there are moments when it goes down like normal and i can use my computer but every time i go to launch a game or even open up a browser is jumps to 100% and stays like that. i cant find what is causing this problem... whenever it is at 100% i cant use or even click on anything. its as if everything locks up. sometimes windows wont start up and i have to restart my pc. im thinking its windows itself?? any ideas? thanks.
