Long Disk queues slows system
After reading everything I can find on the web I am still struggling with this. My computer is about 2 months old. Here are the spec's
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU P6200 @ 2.13GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 37 Stepping 5
Processor Count: 2
RAM: 7980 Mb
Graphics Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics, -329 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 451338 MB, Free - 343467 MB;
Seagate Momentus® XT 3Gb/s 500GB Hard Drive
Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer Inc., K52F
Antivirus: Kaspersky Internet Security, Updated and Enabled
Browser Firefox 3.6
This problem seems to be getting worse and while watching the resource monitor
disk activity will spike and then the queue will go up and the computer sits there for 5-10 secs doing nothing. This is with Outlook 2003 open and Firefox open. Here is what I have done so far
Uninstalled Kaspersky 2011 with removal tool and Installed Kaspersky Internet security suite 2012
Ran Spybot search and destroy - no problems- since removed since possibly conflicts with Kasp.
Ran Malware Bytes -no problems-since removed since possibly conflicts with KAsp
Defrag hard drive
Ran CCCleaner
Cleaned Registry with JV16 power tools
Did all updates for Windows 7 and Microsoft office
Updated drivers and Bios.
Eliminated as much as I was comfortable from start up file.
Doesn't change with Firefox in safe mode with no add-ons.
Performance scan says
1 verfified AV is installed since its not recognized
If installed config security center to stop antivirus monitoring (Under action center heading it shows that it reconizes Kasp AV is running)
2. High avarage interupts/proccess's. Machine is 2 core and 6 network cards Total interuppts/sec 10363
3. Average queue length is 1 (I have seen above 5) Maybe @maxium transfer capacity due to throughputs and disk seeks.
