Hi guys
So I have found that the 100% disk usage thing just refuses to go away. It is slowing down the machine a lot, especially at startup. Then it tends to calm down. But it flares up again and is just weird. It was easier having Windows XP for getting things done!
Anyway, these are the specs of my PC. I am not sure which SDD I should be going for. Can you suggest a budget one that will work with my fairly old hardware and will do the job well?
The specs are:
System Type x64-based PC
System SKU SKU
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 0801, 26/09/2011
SMBIOS Version 2.6
Embedded Controller Version 255.255
BIOS Mode UEFI
BaseBoard Manufacturer ASUSTeK Computer INC.
BaseBoard Model Not Available
BaseBoard Name Base Board
Platform Role Workstation
Secure Boot State Unsupported
PCR7 Configuration Binding Not Possible
Windows Directory C:\WINDOWS
System Directory C:\WINDOWS\system32
Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume1
Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "10.0.17134.471"
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB
Total Physical Memory 7.98 GB
Available Physical Memory 4.68 GB
Total Virtual Memory 9.85 GB
Available Virtual Memory 5.97 GB
Page File Space 1.87 GB
Page File C:\pagefile.sys
Kernel DMA Protection Off
Virtualization-based security Not enabled
Device Encryption Support Reasons for failed automatic device encryption: TPM is not usable, PCR7 binding is not supported, Hardware Security Test Interface failed and device is not InstantGo, Un-allowed DMA capable bus/device(s) detected, TPM is not usable
Hyper-V - VM Monitor Mode Extensions Yes
Hyper-V - Second Level Address Translation Extensions Yes
Hyper-V - Virtualization Enabled in Firmware No
Hyper-V - Data Execution Protection Yes
I hope this helps give the information.
Kind regards.
