    Program to track CPU/RAM/hard drive usage over time?


    My laptop is running slow and the battery drains too fast, and the hard drive just starts going constantly sometimes; it's half-full (out of 320GB), I've already cleaned up, defragmented, run virus scans with various anti-virus products, and something is just dragging it down. I can't tell if the hard drive is dying or a bunch of programs are sucking up resources (like anti-virus).

    I only know how to use Task Manager, and I'm not seeing how to track usage over a day or so.

    Is there something I can use? What would be the best and what are some other good ones?

    (Note: I've used Process Explorer but I'm not getting much more valuable information out of it)

    Suggestion


    Well you could take a look at ProcessLasso

    You'd need to configure it not to restrain some processes though.

    Here's a couple of screenshots.

    Some features are not available in the free version like this for instance:

    I discovered the problem was SuperFetch.
