HDD Thrashing, Looked everywhere for solution, Have found none

[AndrewSteve7]

Hello All,
My Computer's HDD is thrashing, not for the entire usage time, but at random times. It lasts from 5-10 minutes, in that time I can do pretty much nothing. I have disabled ReadyBoost, SuperFetch, Indexing, everything in the startup. I almost always have Resource Monitor open, just in case. I have used ProcMon and found nothing. I have also turned off Skype unless i need it, I also turned off Steam when i'm not playing. In Chrome, I have disabled Phishing and Malware and it has decreased thrashing when using it, but it still thrashes. If anyone can help me I would be so grateful because this has been happening for a long time now. If you need to know anything else, just tell me.
Thanks,
Andrew

I would go to the manufactures website for the hard drive and get a diagnostic program to check out the drive .... Post back what the program says ..

Is all of the RAM being detected? Could you tell us the brand and model number of the hard drive in this build?
Try running a FULL SCAN with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware which can be downloaded here: Malwarebytes | Free Anti-Malware & Internet Security Software
Be sure to uncheck the options for the free trial in the installer.

Dear WinDude99,
The Brand is Western Digital, The model number is WD1500HLFS-01G6U1. I have run a full scan and it has found nothing.

Could you try running a defragmentation on all drives and partitions in your system (except any flash-based drives)?
Here is a tutorial on how to do so: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11733-disk-defragmenter-open-use.html

Dear windude99,
I have run a defragmentation on all my disks and partitons. I have also ran CHKDSK.

OK. I would like for you to run Disk Cleanup. Run it without cleaning system files first. Then, run it and click on the option that says "Clean Up System Files." Here are instructions for Disk Cleanup. Also, could you post a screenshot of task manager when this thrashing is occurring? Make sure it is on the Performance tab. When you use Resource Monitor, do you have the Disk tab open? Do you sort it by the field titled "Total?" Also, sort it by the Read and Write fields individually.

Dear windude99,
Here is the screenshot of task manager. In resource Monitor, the disk tab is open and it is sorted by the "Total" field

Could you give me screenshots with it sorted by the Read column and write column? I don't need to see task manager this time. Be sure you take these screenshots when the thrashing is occurring.

 

[AndrewSteve7]

Dear windude99,
Here is the write when thrashing. I could only get the write, will get read next time.

Dear windude99,
Here is the write during thrashing, couldn't get read. will get read if it thrashes again

When it thrashes, is there any kind of performance degradation while using your PC? I will need to see the read section in Resource Monitor when the thrashing occurs. Also, are you running the latest BIOS version? Have you tried updating your SATA and chipset drivers?

 

[AndrewSteve7]

Dear windude99,
here is the read.

 

[windude99]

Have you gotten the latest BIOS update for your motherboard? Also, download the latest chipset and AHCI drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's website.

 

[AndrewSteve7]

Dear windude99,
Sorry about waiting so long, haven't been able to use it.
I updated all the drivers and it still thrashes, I am also using the right BIOS version

These arrogant responses really annoy me. AndrewSteve7 I can say exactly what the problem is. It's service pack 1. Installed on three seperate machines and has crippled all of them. All the computers in my local library are also slow and laggy and these are very high spec machines. Windows 7 has always been fine for me before the service pack 1. Fast, stable. Now it chokes on everything I try to do.

Welcome to our forum jonguitarist.

From your post #17.

These arrogant responses really annoy me.

Please be polite.

Try to remember that over a billion people run Windows 7 with SP-1 installed and don't have the problems that your local library is having.

I have two of such systems running Windows 7-SP1 with no problems.
