Windows 10, Amd A8 Core 4, Toshiba, Radeon Graphics card.
So, long story, I'll try to keep it short.
I was having issues with 100% Disk usage. Tried many fixes none worked, one thing did happen though and that's is the sudden death of my laptop.
I have no idea what happened but my two theories are 1. When i altered a value in registry relating to ide ata/atapi controllers, though it seemed like a popular solution so It might not have been that. 2. I used malwarebytes to do a full scan and some of the trojan/potential threat offenders might have been registry files. Other than that I can't think of anything.
So after trying these Disk fixes I restart (uninstalled AV software). I log in and all i get is my background wallpaper and the task-bar, no icons on the task-bar or on the desktop. Mouse only showed up on the taskbar as a loading symbol. Eventually after 5min I manage to open task-manager which then allows me to briefly use the task-bar before the screen flashes black and resets everything. I use this window to open cmd with run, it wasn't admin, I screamed at God, then i remembered a trick with task-manager and managed to get admin cmd(right click start brings up power shell for me which wasn't working). I run dskchk but it said no issues (err okay). I then thought what if I create a new user, would that maybe fix the disk/registry issue. And now I am typing from that user, disk issue still there but so far everything normal. So here is a quick recap of the issue and every minor detail
. Logged in, wallpaper, temperamental task bar, nothing else.
. Screen flashes black, few seconds pass, back to above.
. Before opening cmd I was receiving occasional pop ups about i/o issues and radeonsettings.exe issues. Both issues said can't read/write disk. I'm not receiving them now and it was just a bunch of random error numbers so no chance of remembering exactly sorry.
I use a big flatscreen for my monitor as my laptop screen received physical damage so system reset methods were out of the question (bios doesn't show for me through hdmi)
While I have your attention:
Will using a system restore point prompt me in bios? I seem to remember it just reverting back and restarting on it's own. I am thinking of using a system restore i created after a previous reinstall of windows 10. Give me your opinions on do or don't please (remember i cant use bios).
Second, Any ideas why my disk usage is fine for about 30min, goes to 100% for 5min-ish with no apparent offenders (about 8-16% shown in task manager total from system, and resource monitor shows only system talking to disk) then returns to normal.
Thanks in Advance
