    OK; I thought you were using the 250 gb drive listed in your specs.

    When it's noisy, look in Task Manager at the processes tab; sort the processes by clicking the CPU column. What's at the top of that list.

    You could also look at the performance tab of Task Manager and click on Resource Monitor. When it opens, look at the disk tab to see what's going on with the disk.

    Right now, you could type disk defrag into the start box and look at Disk Defragmenter. Let it analyze your drive. It will show you if it is fragmented. If you have defrag set to run on a certain schedule that could be the problem. Maybe it hadn't run much before because the drive has rarely been fragmented to any degree.

    But it could be some other process entirely.

    What do you have checked in the startup tab of msconfig?
    Quite a lot by the looks of it !?!?
    I did a defrag last night, it is always set to manual and never on a schedule.

    No, you did not. It was something that I did before I read your reply.

    Fred, is the disk perhaps indexing the contents to make the searching more efficient?

    Please check for that using this:
    Indexing - Pause

    Indexing ???


    Thank you for that. It may be the problem. I have cleared all indexing locations. The last count for the indexing was 269,012. I will wait and see if that cures the problem. My need for rapid searches are very limited, so I can bear the pain if need be.

    I have spent hours letting the index rebuild itself from scratch
    284,841 items indexed

    At the moment all seems to be quiet on the HD front, just very slight sounds of activity. When I paused the search the HD chatter did stop.

    With your reply a link was inserted for RegCureProSetup.exe

    I have downloaded it, should I use it ? It is unclear if you, or the forum inserted the link.

    I don't see that link in Golden's reply.

    It's a registry cleaner, which you should avoid other than in extreme circumstances. Particularly that one.

    No, I wouldn't use it, particularly since you apparently don't know where it came from or what it is.

    It says here it is bad news:

    How safe is RegCure Pro? - Microsoft Community

    You ought to get to the bottom of why this link was offered to you as I don't see it.

    You may well be infected with Adware that is having its way with your PC.

    Have you run Adwcleaner or Malwarebytes?

    No, I have not run either of these programs

    malwarebytes:

    Malwarebytes.org

    There's a free version and a paid version; free is all you need for now.

    Adwcleaner:

    Téléchargements - Outils de Xplode - AdwCleaner

    Look for "telechargements" download.

    Just after I made my last post I realized it was a dumb question to ask, and went and found it on Google.

    Hoe often do you think that I should run this program, and can you see anything that has been deleted that should have been left alone ?
