Disk usage keeps jumping to 100% doing nothing

e.eldridge04spam · May 18, 2018

I bought a new motherboard, CPU, ram, and SSD in a bundle. I then fitted it along with my powersupply, storage and GPU I had from before. I used it for a month or so fine playing high end games like Forza horizon 3 before my PC started to reset it's self. I did some research and before I could do any thing else all my components in task manager stared to go haywire when just browsing mostly like 100% on CPU, GPU and DISK. After that the blue screens started to come in with codes like "System service exemption","Page fault on non paged area","Referenced by pointer"and some saying my PC needs to be assessed. From then on when I turn my PC on sometimes I get on to windows sometimes it gets stuck while checking and scanning for disk errors.

PC specs
AMD FX 8350
Zotac mini 4gb GTX 1050ti
550w unbranded PSU (CX600 coming
1tb WD blue
OCZ 120GB SSD
16GB Corsair vengence ram (2 4GB and 1 8GB

I'm 14 and have no money is there a fix for free or not

When you built this system did you format the drive and reinstall windows?

If not I would suggest backing up your data and doing just that now. Sounds like Windows is corrupt.

Windows could actively be processing updates in the background(or repeatedly attempting to process a failed update over & over)... or you're infected(malware/rootkit/virus).

I have formated both the hard drive and reinstalled windows 3 times, malwarebytes has not detected any viruses.

How old is the hard drive? is the SSD new?

Download memtest86 and run it to test your memory.

It would also be a good idea to test both the HDD and SSD. www.hdtune.com

e.eldridge04spam · May 18, 2018

I know how old they are because non of it is new, I have used two disk checkers and they both said the hard drives have good health

e.eldridge04spam :

Ok you need to run Memtest86, those errors sound like possible memory failures.

e.eldridge04spam · May 18, 2018

Okay so, I reinstalled windows on my SSD and formated my hard drive, so far everything has been going ok for the past hour but now I don't really want to turn it off, as I will have to when I go to sleep I'm going to try the test later maybe get back to you later or tomorrow as I'm using it as it lasts.

I ran memtest for 30 mins and got no errors, I'm not sure how long it takes to run it for.

toshibitsu · May 19, 2018

Memtest, depending on system/memory, can take a few hours or so to complete(I remember running it once on someone's system who had 64gb memory, took all day). It'll let you know when it's finished.

You need a lot more time than that for it to work, run it overnight, see what happens.

After using the PC with 1% disk usage I thought it was fine but after sometime my PC shut down, I tryed to turn it on and it did not turn on, the MB light turns on my head phone, keyboard and mouse turns on but the PC won't do anything I don't know what to do

e.eldridge04spam :

have you tried switching off your PSU for a couple minutes and then turning it back on?

e.eldridge04spam · May 22, 2018

Yea I switched both the PSU and the plug socket of and left it 30 mins and still nothing. I put in my old MB and CPU in as I thought It may be a broken power switch pin and still nothing so I think the power supply is either dead or the power switch is dead but I don't know how that could happen. I do have a Corsair cx600 on the way so I guess I will have to wait .

Most likely its the PSU. The power switch is easy to test (and also HIGHLY unlikely its broken). All you need is with the system off and the power switch unplugged from the motherboard you can use a screwdriver to short the 2 pins that the switch plugs into. If the system boots up then you know the switch is bad.
