That's normal in my opinion. Spinning platters are slow at accessing multiple reads and writes concurrently. This is where SSD's greatest advantage is truly demonstrated. It happens to my laptop too like when I am decompressing very large .rar, .iso .arc etc. files, My whole system slows down to a crawl. I mean opening a new tab in a browser takes more than 3 seconds instead of being instantaneos. The reason you feel that the CPU is not working well is because the hard disk does not have enough data to feed the CPU. In other words. the hard drive is bottlenecking your CPU and RAM.

So, there is no solution ?? :S

Does your computer only slows down while installing? Does it also slows when are opening an application or web browsing while an installation is in progress?

If your disk is always at 100 % highest active time, it's maybe windows doing indexing or superfetch or maybe a scheduled background task is running, but those disk activities should not slow down your computer much. My computer only slows down when installing heavy applications or extracting lots of compressed files.

my computer slows when i do any active i find the disk up to 100% and the CPU can't increase :S
when i try to install any program even it's small it take long time to complete installing

i closed index, and the problems not solved

Based on your screenshots there is definitely something within the "System" process that is hogging your disk activity. Can you post a screenshot of the "Disk" tab in your Resource Monitor showing the processes that are listed on "Process with Disk Activity" and "Disk Activity" drop down menu?

 

[ConcorD]

There is the screen

Sorry to invade on the thread, but have you performed an anti-virus scan, a malware program or file may be hogging your system's resources?

 

[ConcorD]

The problem is found before i setup any programs

If you are having a high disk usage when no applications are open or data is being saved, then the problem in my opinion, seems to be pointing to a malware issue; have you got any anti-virus (AV) installed to scan your system?

Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

MSE is a free AV program by Microsoft (if you haven't got an AV program installed)

ConcorD, Can you post another screenshot of your Disk Activity tab, but with the "File" column fully expanded? "System" process basically involve many types of disk activity, but it shows which file or folder has the most read/write rates.

the problem is found before i setup any thing

ConcorD you are not making any sense with what the problem is, have you performed a AV scan or not?

Thanks,

Harry

 

[ConcorD]

yes i have kaspersky antivirus

 

[ConcorD]

another screenshot

yes i have kaspersky antivirus

Okay thank you

 

[ConcorD]

I made full scan and no threats

This may not be related to your problem, but does system create a paging file when your applications are starting to use your RAM? A paging file can use significant hard-drive resources and therefore create a high disk usage.
