HDD space diminishes to zero within 10 minutes of start
Hi,
This just started happening recently: When I start the system, disk space in my computer is around 10-15Gb. Pressing refresh every few seconds shows the disk space diminishing continuously, until 0 bytes remain, at which point most things act as though there is no hard drive space and you have to restart. Restarting restores disk space to either a few GB or back up to the 10-15GB mark. During the 10 minutes or so that you can use the system before a restart is required, resource monitor shows that the image "system" is reading 1-4MB/second and writing 15-30MB/second to disk. Starting in safe mode allows enough time to run scans in McAfee, PcTools Spyware Doctor and AVG, but none of them find anything. Using Selective start in system configuration with minimal processes and no startup programs seems to reduce the problem, but not eliminate it completely.
My specs are listed below, not sure whether it has anything to do with my SSD, which is the main OS install HDD... not sure what other details to provide but let me know if you need to know more.
Thanks for your help!
