Have you checked if it is something getting loaded at startup [Start => msconfig => Startup tab] that is causing the problem?

Hi arinbmw,

[1] Make a note of everything that is checked in Startup [Start => in the search box type msconfig => Enter => Startup tab] and then uncheck them ALL.

[2] In Services [Start => in the search box type msconfig => Enter => Services tab] check the Hide all Microsoft services box and uncheck everything that is left.

[3] Click Apply => OK => Restart.

EDIT: Ignore number [2] for now.

Hi arinbmw,

Just a quick observation! Do you really use all of those?

[1] You have got Norton Online at startup although you have Kaspersky Internet Security. It is NOT good to have two anti-viruses as they conflict with each other. Uncheck it.
[2] Is iTunes set to download files? Uncheck it.
[3] Is uTorrent set to download files? Uncheck it.

In fact, you could uncheck everything except Realtek, Intel and Sony. Then restart to see if that makes a difference.

Is there anything that has been set in Task Scheduler that you know of?

 

[samuria]

We need to know the file types that filling the drive as that may give a clue to whats doing it have you any sort of none MS restore or backup software runing

135MB free means about .01% free. The problem is not that your hard drive is filling up after you boot, its that you have nothing free in the first place.
