Well, the computer has been running for 28 hours straight and it is still disk activity light is still consistently flashing. I've been looking at the Resource Monitor. I wouldn't consider myself a power user so I don't fully understand all the information it provides. One thing I do notice is that NT Kernel & System use about 19% of CPU consumption constantly. Also CPU Usage never drops under 30% and spikes to 50% while idle. The maximum frequency hovers around 60%. Are any of those numbers alarming to anyone?
Something not discussed here about this.
Consider this:
If you just upgraded the OS there is a very real possibility that your computer may have been infected prior to the upgrade and now that you have upgraded it's amplified itself (one reason I do not recommend upgrades)
I would scan your computer with like a trial of Kaspersky Anti Virus and then MalwareBytes Antimalware Cleaner and SuperAntiSpyware just to make sure you are clean.
I know for a fact that the blinking is not caused by a virus or malware. How? A computer not online and with no outside programs blinks.
have you ran any drive diagnostics on the affected drives?
have you unchecked everything in your startup list there has to be something that is tying up the memory and hard drive access.
have you looked at the background services to see what's running over and above the microsoft services in msconfig go to services tab and check hide all microsoft services and see what else there is target those first uncheck them!
