    Filling out your system specs will help us help you.
    How often do you boot your computer?
    Go to Performance monitor tic disk. I really don't know how to save to a log.

    Lower left of your post, (My System Specs). The reason is so we can see your specs every time you post and you don't have to keep typing them in.
