Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Hi! I'm not sure how long I've been having this problem, it only occured to me after Steam has been stuck in an update loop for long times on end for the past few days. My HDD (C:/) is constantly at 100%, and I can't find the problem through Task Manager or basic troubleshooting. My PC has been booting slowly lately (initial Windows boot is fast, but any other programs after seeing the desktop and taskbar are slow, e.g. Outlook 2013, Steam, Discord are slow) I'm in no position financially to purchase myself a replacement SSD for a while, so I'd like to get this issue resolved to avoid having to upgrade. Note: My C:/ drive is my Windows Drive, and is a normal SATA hard drive (Toshiba, not sure about specifics, it came with the PC) My D:/ drive is at 0% when not in use. This is a Samsung EVO 850 SSD at 250 GB. I bought this one later on, and don't want to lose data on my HDD to move Windows over. Tried solutions from here, Methods 1-4. Thank you for any help. EDIT: Additional info; sometimes closing programs (tried closing task manager earlier) causes said program to freeze up and not respond for a while. Chrome works fine, as does Discord right now, Steam doesn't (currently uninstalling to reinstall on my SSD) get past the "Updating steam, Extracting package" messages, and any other programs, once booted, work fine. Navigating through Windows Explorer is fine too, the usual loading, but nothing out of the ordinary. Steam might just work fine after a reinstall, but I still don't think my disk should be at 100% literally constantly so I'd like to have it resolved.

Posted July 12, 2017 Heb je een virus scanner aan staan. denk hier bij aan norton and MCafee. Ook raat ik je aan om de ssd je boot media te maken. Windows 10 is geboden aan het moederbord dus je kan Windows zo vaak als je wilt installeren "i reject your reality and substitute my own" --- Workstion --- GamePc --- "College great Dropout Engineering" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 12, 2017 Author Geen virusscanner aanstaan, alleen Windows Defender. Wat houdt moot media in? Ik maak me overigens niet druk over de licentie van Windows 10, slechts het kwijtraken van data, zoals media, games, voorkeuren in games etc (en te lui om dit over te zetten op een externe HDD tot na de herinstallatie) Spoiler CPU - i7 6700K Motherboard - Asus z170 Pro Gaming RAM - 2x 8GB HyperX Fury DDR4 2133Mhz GPU - Sapphire RX 580 Pulse Case - Cooler Master StrikeX Advance Black Edition Storage - 1x 1TB Seagate HDD, 1x 250GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD PSU - Energon 750W CM Display(s) - 2x VS278H 27-inch Cooling - Hyper Evo 212 Keyboard - Razer Blackwidow Chroma Mouse - Logitech G502 Sound - Razer Kraken 7.1 Pro OS - Windows 10 Pro 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
