    disk and cpu spikes


    I am experiencing spikes in my cpu and disk in the task manager.
    I was gonna live with just cpu spikes but the disk spikes have me worried now.

    The disk spikes from 1%-100% instantly sometimes. The graph is up and down.

    What should I post for help?

    How long and are you having any slow downs?
    If not 100% spikes is nothin to concern yourself with.
    Being able to use 100% of your hardware without a slow down is a good thing.
