SSD 100% usage/load ?

AltSean · June 3, 2014

While starting up programs like Origin, Steam, and ccleaner it seems as though my system completly slows down in the booting of these programs. When they do boot and I try to play a game the programs seem to crash. Currently while loading up steam I see my CPU at 1%-6% usage my Disk C (SSD) at 100% and my Disk 1(HDD) 0-1% . Hmm just shutdown steam and it seems as though my SSD is staying at 100% usage. I've recently upgraded my Motherboard to a Sabertooth 990fx v2.0 and am running an AMD 8350 cpu as well as a R9 290 GPU.... Wondering if this SSD 100% usage is causing a major bottleneck? My Win 8 is loaded on it but my origin and steam are loaded on the HDD. any thoughts?

hmmm curiouse... so I noticed the ssd ran down to 0% usage. So I went a head and tested by turning on steam, came on right away. Then I put Tomb Raider on, shot back up to 100% Usage. Also a Steam Client Bootstrapper not responding popped up . Planning on starting from scratch tommarow, reformat, but still a weird occurence, wanted to see if anyone else dealt with this problemo.

Also Tomb raider is loaded on the HDD drive.
