I recently started having issues after my brother downloaded some malware on my pc now i get 100% hdd use on 0.1 mb evey time the gpu load is at above 60% or 70%. I have attached my dumps. All the BSODs were in CS:GO and now i cant eaven play any games without the game just stopping because of the hdd usage.

I found out the reason for my hdd stopping while under load was that one of my 6 pins was a 2molex to 6pin adapter and one of the molex cables was also the one powering my hdd through a sata power cable.So i plugged in a different one and now it's fine.
My system had 2 blue screen the past few weeks, so I decided to try to check for eventual hardware and software problems, I started by running a stress test with ROG realbench since my CPU is overclocked, it gave me an error already(program stopped working), so after doing more tweaking(increasing voltage), then I finally put back the default speed because it wouldn't even start, although at the beginning it crashed right away when I clicked start, and after putting more voltage, it starts and works for a bit and then the PC just hangs, and it still does it at stock speed.. which is quite weird ! it also did it with cinebench, but the strange things is I played numerous hours of starcraft 2 without problem, also I wasn't doing anything when the blue screens happened.
I ran a windows memory test, no errors detected (haven't ran memtest though..) I also did a sfc /scannow and it didn't detected anything wrong.. I'm starting to think it's more related to windows than hardware.
I am running Windows 10 Pro. My computer had BSOD quite frequently these few days. It's kind of weird. I was unable to replicate the problem if I just use it for like 1-2 hours. If I use it for a little longer, BSOD will occur when I am trying to shut down. There were no problems at all when I am using it. It is not interrupting my usage but it is really annoying to see BSOD every time whenever I am shutting down.
Background: For the past few weeks or so I was on W8.1 on my SSD and Arch Linux on my SSHD. However now when loading up Arch I get a { DRDY } error presumably on the SSHD, and W8.1 crashed very soon after logging in. I noticed that sometimes that the computer does not freeze until I open up a game (Total War 2). TW2 had been working fine previously. I would go ahead and reset/refresh my main W10 drive but I'm not sure if that's the issue. I have never gotten a BSOD just a freeze then sometimes black screen with a mouse.
What I've tried: I consistently virus scanned with Malwarebyte's and Defender to find nothing.I hoped upgrading to W10 would fix the issue, but it did not./sfc scannowSMART check (no issues)check Task Manager/used Proc Explorer (or variants) can not see cause of disk usage spike
What I believe could be the issue: I want to say the drives are failing, but I'm honestly dumbfounded.I've read it's possible to the SATA cables.
Tried creating another user account, and so far no issues with the new account. Also added some logs, if more are needed I can add them.
I am surprised that this is not a topic of discussion. On my laptop which I migrated from windows 7 to 10, I always have a high CPU usage for Microsoft Search filter host. A search of the internet shows that this is an issue.
I have tried to disable with no luck. My next attempt will be a change in registry.
Isn't the page file supposed to fill up when your system starts running out of RAM? I know there's some preemptive paging, but I'm at 99% even though my RAM usage is 40% (of 8GBs). How come?
i have recently installed win10 and after a few days i have noticed that it uses all my memory(8gb) in the following scenario:
i let the computer overnight watching a stream and an online radio station.the next morning i have noticed that the computer was a little bit laggy, ind i opened task manager where it showed 97% memory usage.The funny fact is if i added up alll the provcesses memory usage und it was about 1.2 gb ram
PC specs:
i7 - 4770k proc gtx 970 video 8 gb hyperX red memory
I've calculated that my apps use arround 538MB(1%) ram i have 6GB ram and the task manager is showing almost constantly that around 35% is used. What windows processes can i stop to reduce the ram usage - these are pics from the task manager. URL...
For some reason whenever I open Task manager it says that 100% of my Disk is used, this can be even if all the processes add up to like 2mb or if avast! is running and using 50mb. It will say 100% Disk Usage either way.I sent my HDD back to DinoPC.com a few months ago and they said nothing was wrong with it.
i'd just fresh install win10 pro 64bit and my only 3.21gb of ram usable out of 8gb..

When I was running Windows 8.1, I had this same problem. Upgraded to Windows 10, issue persisted, until I reset the PC (August). After I reset, CPU usage was normal. A few weeks ago, though, CPU usage has jumped right back up to 100% (per Task Manager). I've tried running malware/virus scans, updated SSD firmware, looking for resource-hogging processes, and none of it has been conclusive.
I am running Windows 10 Pro. Over the last couple of days, for some reason, the OS reports 100% disk usage, even when no application is apparently running. It was quite alright a few days ago, but troublesome over the past 2 days. I had assumed it was running some background task, and would become normal, but the abnormally high disk usage persists even after the machine has been running for half an hour.
In this period, no Windows updates were installed, and only a scheduled checkpoint was created 4 days ago. If I try and restore to the checkpoint during boot, I get an error, saying the PC needs to be repaired. If I try it from the recovery option in Windows 10, it does not shut down for a restart, just keeps on the blank screen saying "Initializing restore". The entire time, according to the indication light, the disk seems busy.
I tried disabling superfetch and background intelligent transfer service, but did not work. The spike in disk usage is not specific to anything, sometimes it is the system, other times the malware service...
I do not wish to reset the laptop, as I had quite a few things installed, but I do not have the installation media for those anymore, and so would not be able to install them again after the reset.I have the installation iso for Windows 10. The laptop is Dell 17R SE 7720. I had upgraded to Windows 10 Pro almost 2 months ago, and it had been running fine.
This is not an issue but more a curiosity. I have the old Windows cup / ram monitor running as a gadget on Windows 10. When the PC is idle for a few minutes I notice the cup usage always spikes to around 10-13% and stays around that mark. As soon as I touch mouse and move it it then plummets to 0 or 1%. Is this normal? I wonder what it could be doing. It's not as if I can use task manager to see because as soon as I move the mouse or go to use the PC the usage returns to 0 or 1? I presume Windows is doing housekeeping stuff and it's a non issue?
not sure since when and how ( must have been recently ), but my windows 10 got probably infected, whenever i start pc, my cpu usage jumps to 55% ... After I open task manager, i can see this ( attachment ) :
The PID of "faulty" service is always different and if I stop the process, i am ok until next reboot. Windows defender detected nothing after full scan, I have never downloaded any exe files or opened some bad web page, only .mp4, .avi files and games from Steam.
Should I format and reinstall windows, just to be sure or is there some other tool to find out what happens / fix my problem ? I have no important data or work on my pc, so format is ok, I just dont want to spend several hours reinstalling everything...
My laptop's CPU usage hit 100% and stayed there, and the fan came on even though the CPU and HD temps were normal (CPU 44-47C, HD: 39-42C). Any thoughts on what happened? Restarting seems to have fixed it, at least temporarily. I'm doing a virus scan, and I'm going to start going through the logs, but which of the vast number of logs I should start with.
NOD32 and MalwareBytes both say no threats, malware, etc.
the fact that in the Task manager Disk usage leaps up to 100%, and stays there for minutes with nothing in the column showing above 0.1MB/s. I have visited many forums and tried many fixes but have not cured the problem. The machine is am HP G62 laptop with an i3 processor and 3GB of RAM, which should cope, shouldn't it? Currently CPU 1%, memory 42%, Disk 100% - trying to install a program.
I've had this problem since installing W10. My RAM's usage keeps increasing overtime and after a few days it gets to over 90%. It effects my computers performance, even typing something is incredibly slow, which means it isn't just a visual issue. I've searched my computer for malware and bitcoin miners and haven't found anything. The only solution that works (although temporarily) is restarting my computer.
My memory usage is constantly at 97-99% memory usage, with "System and compressed memory" Having almost 4x amount of memory being used as the next program ....
I upgraded to Windows 10 a few months ago. Immediately I began experiencing very long start times (~5 minutes). I resolved the start time issues by doing a clean install and erasing all programs/files on my PC. After that, the 100% disk usage issues continued. I have disabled Windows tips, disabled SuperFetch & PreFetch, and attempted to monitor exactly what is causing this without success. Looking through solutions, it seems that I have gone through all suggested actions yet the issue persists. My PC can be booted for an hour with only Edge running and yet disk usage continues at 100%. Running on 8.1, I never experienced any slow start times or any slow usage.

I've recently built my new pc and it's been running fine for a week. Although recently it's been running incredibly slow. After looking around for what it might be I realised my Memory usage is 96% with nothing open.
I've looked through all the processes, there's nothing unusual everything is working fine. It's a hidden process taking up my 7.6gbs of 8gbs of Ram. I've looked around for solutions and nothings worked. Ran a simple avg virus check. Nothing.
For the past week or so I have been having strange stutters and hangs. When it started my RAM was maxing out constantly in task manager. Opening Skype or hitting the windows key would basically completely freeze my computer (this was when I had windows 8.1 a week or so ago). I tried a bunch of things as well as upgrading to windows 10 since I figured it could have been a faulty update or something. After messing around with virtual memory for a while that seemed to fix the ram issue.
Now my disk usage is maxing out constantly at very small usage with the same symptoms of Skype freezing my computer and and windows menus being slow. The things increasing disk usage are all around .1MB/s. I have ran Disk Sentinel as well as defragmenting my hard drive, to no avail. Disk Sentinel says that the drive is 52% (Healthy) so I don't think it is a faulty drive, but it could be. I don't know why these issues are occurring as my computer is pretty beefy, albeit with a rather slow hard drive speed.
This morning my girlfriend woke up and loaded up her PC after an Automatic Windows update last night. She noticed that it was extremely slow and almost unresponsive in some cases.Upon checking the task manager we noticed 100% Disk usage on the Performance Monitor. We've tried a few things suggested in some Windows support threads but nothing seems to be working so far.
Solutions tried so far:
- Disabling Prefetch Resources in Chrome and Allowed Write permissions on Skype (Apparently there was an issue with these clashing?) - Setting the system Page File manually, this didn't work on manual setting or Automatic.
It's been suggested in some Microsoft support threads that Win10 is too much for older systems and hard drives, any truth in this? We've noticed now that after a short time the Disk usage drops to around 60% and then slowly raises back to 100% again.We attempted to troubleshoot any startup programs so went to the task manager to turn everything off for a startup (msconfig doesnt work on win10 it seems), and suddenly her Disk usage dropped back to 0-3%. Honestly don't know whats going on. Didn't think disabling startup programs would change anything until a restart.Went back to 100% Disk usage after about 4-5mins of 0-3%.
I have had an HP Envy dv6 running Windows 8 for two years, Windows 10 for a week or two. The past two months, my computer has been running so sluggish that it's almost inoperable. Startup time has went from 5-8 minutes to 20, sometimes even 40 minutes. When it does load up to login, it takes an additional 20 minutes for me to even load up task manager.
My disk is constantly running at 100%, despite everything running at 0mb/s consistently. The things that go above that are the system, which will spike to 2.2mb/s, norton/Symantec framework which will hover at 0.2 at most, and a bunch of service host:local services (network) processes. HP support, and a bunch of other system background services also run at 0.1mb/s.
I've done a system reboot, which barely worked. I upgraded to 10, which worked for the first two times turning on, but soon went right back to being unresponsive. I've taken a lot of processes out of startup as well. I was unable to stop indexing services when I was on windows 8, despite running as admin.
