McJokerr · Aug 11, 2014

Hello i bulded my pc like 2 weeks ago everything works fine till now before this bulls**t happened i was installing software like spotify chrome no problem but now everytime i try installing something or download a game from steam the Disk Usage goes to 100% costant its not surprising that when i'm downloading and installing it should be high but the thing that bothers me is that it causes my pc to slow down and i do mean really slow down like i can't even open my computer folder chrome for example i wait 5 min for chrome to load a 30 sec video and it's not the internet conenction if i turn off the installation the video loads up fast i can't even get to open the control panel it just stops working here are my specs.

This is why high end PCs usually have something known as a "SSD".

sorry

Jokes aside, can you look at what is using your disk? Also, set the Page file to more than 8 GB and max Page file to 16 GB.

System process and the installation the installation takes around 53% AVG of the disk usage the system however takes up the remainin that is 47% if the installation uses 80% the System uses 20% which is the dumbest shit ever!

If you are using windows 8 use task manager to find which program is using your disk and see if that helps you narrow your search for a solution.

It looks like there's a fault in your HDD, bad sectors maybe.

Here's what you should try:
-Use CCleaner to clean all the junk and clean boot.
-Use HDTune or Seagate SeaTools for checking HDD for errors.
-Unlikely, but check RAM with MemTest for safekeeping.

Also, if the above don't work, check your PC for viruses with MalwareBytes, Hitman Pro, Avast and AVG. Use ATLEAST 3 different softwares to scan.

Also get procexp.exe (Process Explorer) from \\live.sysinternals.com\ It's better than task manager, from there show disk coloums and reduce the priority of whatever is using your disk (temporary fix).

Solved and Solutions
Plz refer to my solution http://superuser.com/questions/759152/windows-8-1-updat...
It is because of regular routine of scheduled defragmentation. Turn off the schedule for defragmentation and the problem will be solved. Right click on drive->properties->tools->optimize->turn off the defragmentation schedule.
