Unbearably loud disk never stops reading.
I'm pretty sure it's my SSD.
Honestly it sounds like an HDD that's being read like crazy, but I disabled my HDD and the sound persisted, so I don't know.
This has nothing to do excessive uptime of the PC.
I thought it was the process "csrss.exe" which frequently sits at ~50k I/O Reads, but now I'm not sure anymore.
This is mostly because opening ANY program makes it much worse, no matter what drive that program is on. If I open basically anything, like a small game, or any browser, the drive goes insane and the noise transcends from "insanely annoying" to "completely unbearable".
Things I've tried that have failed spectacularly:
1. Examined Resource Monitor: Noise is bad at ~70k total IO Reads where almost all of that is just csrss.exe; Chrome throws this and Write to 400k (not sure if that's high)
2. Disabled Windows Defender
3. Disabled my other disk (an HDD)
4. Ran virus scans
5. Error checked drives and attempted bad sector recovery (no issues)
6. Closed all processes that I could, including all programs
7. Disabled all automatic scans from anti-virus programs
8. Turned off anti-virus programs completely
9. Disabled indexing
10. Tried running in Safe Mode
11. Tried creating/using a different user account
Basically doing ANYTHING causes whichever drive it is to go completely insane.
I'm not sure how old they are. I just don't know what to do at this point.
Let me know what hardware info is needed.
