Excessive HDD activity
This might have already been discussed but I'm desperate. Starting a week ago my Win7 desktop with a fresh build started to have excessive and constant HDD activity. The task manager and process monitor shows nothing strange. But the performance is terrible. I've tried...
-Killing all processes and services
-Stopping indexing
-Stopping any antivirus and malware (after a successful scan)
-uninstalling most all apps
-hardware diagnosis (clean)
Nothing worked. Here's the rub... When I run HDDscan to deep scan the drive for performance and problems, the machine goes quiet and performs 100%! I've noticed that when it's busy uninstalling or running a scan it's back to normal.
What the heck?!?!
