Hello.
I've got a Seagate 2TB HDD.
About five months back, it started giving Read/Write issues.
And now, it has gotten severe.
The Issue:
Hard drive starting to stick at 100% usage without taking a breath, Making freezes, massive response time, non responding softwares/programs.
When it first occured. Disabling a few things before fixed it, Time after time.
Fixes such as :-
Disabling Superfetch.
Disabling BITS.
Disabling Windows Defender.
Disabling System Restore.
Reinstalling Windows.
Changing Page-File settings.
But the problem came back after a few days or hours.
Now, it has gone severe and im thinking of sending it back to my vendor. (1 Month left for warranty)
Currently, Changing my RAM Slots or Resetting the bios through CMOS jumper fixes the problem for an hour or two.
After that, any small task will increase the rate to 100%.
Its getting quite hard for me to rule out and pinpoint the issue.
Is it the HD? Should I RMA it?
Or is it the windows?
Help would be much appreciated.
I cant play a single game without it quit responding or have voice/texture/props desync issues.
Specs:
4770k
Maximus VI Hero Mobo
8GB Corsair Vengeance Ram (1600)
Xigmatek Centauro 700W PSU
R9 280x 3GB MSI
Windows 8.1 Professional
Currently backing up my important data, Its taking ages!
Can't run HD Tune Pro during the issue but was lucky enough to get breathing space for this one.
