I got 1TB western digital SATA HDD about 2 years back.
i use it for gaming only.
it kept working fine till a week back when all of a sudden it started making me mad.
i had just installed an 8600gt vga card, installed the driver and when i restarted the pc.. BAM everything went wrong.
i tried formating all my data but still i cant get the performance like i used to. my pc's red light on the front is ON all the time like it is in constant use.
while installing windows 7 it takes about 1 hr to just do "copying files and then extracting files"
if i press shutdown, it takes hours to shutdown.
at first it was giving working speed like 100/100 but now its so much lagging and gives me response speed like 5/100. i cant even copy a small file. Right clicking on any file in explorer just freezes the pc.
m so frustated by it. i tried using a different (old) HDD and thats working perfectly. but this 1TB HDD is lagging hell.
i have checked all of the drives using CHKDSK utility but it shows no bad sectors.
it isnt making any kind of noises or whatsoever.
I dont think there's any PSU issue coz i have been using this HDD for about 2 years on the same 450W psu with GT630 graphics card.
Its just a week back when i changed my graphics card to 8600gt it started this problem.
I have done Defragmentation on all my drives and they are below 5% now.
Unlike other people saying my HDD is not creating any kind of sound (griding, clicking, etc).
Its just that Hard Disk Usage is at 100% all the time now, and my HDD Red light stays on constanlty for a long time.
plz tell me if there's any solution to the problem
my rig:
i3 3.1ghz
p8h61mle
4gb ddr3 ram
450W psu.
