Computer using ram and cpu but can't find what program is doing it
Hi guys, I didn't know weather to put this under harddrive problems or here. Mod can move this if they think it's harddrive issue.
So for like one or two months now, I've been trying to google my problem but haven't gotten any luck.
The issue here is all my programs would freeze and I was like wth is going on? So after it happened a couple of times, I finally figured out what was going on.
The system was using cpu power ranging from 20 to 50 percent and my ram was using roughly 20 to 32 percent. The weird thing about this is my computer cpu usually is around 2-5 percent and ram is around 5-12 percent when doing normal day activities.
So I have no idea what is going on at all. I have a vortex 120 gb and I have it updated to the latest software.
My hypothesis is that there is a system defragging working in the background because I see my hard drive space going up and down. It'll go down 20gb and go back up. Sometimes goes down a lot sometimes not that much.
I have three programs and I've tried closing all three.
Bitdefender-no auto defrag
Iobit advance system care- I turned auto defrag off but even it the settings it's already checkmark not to defrag ssd
tuneuputilites- turned off auto defrag also and same thing as earlier, there's already a checkmark to not defrag ssd
edit(forgot to mention that I turned system auto defrag off also)
I ran antivirus scan and malware scan already with no luck.
So here's where the big mystery comes into play. Even though there is cpu usage and ram usage when I go to windows task manager, I can't find anything that shows it's using ram and cpu even though it is.
Very annoying with everything freezing. Even if I restart it still continues.
Sorry mods if I posted this in the wrong section, feel free to move it.
Any help would be great
Thanks
