Disk Usage

I am having 100% disk usage (whenever I install or move or backup a game on Steam OR whenever I install any software) and during that time, I can't properly do other tasks or open apps, they tend to become "Not responding". When I am not doing these backups or move or install any software, the...

I've recently noticed that my boot drive is constantly going from 0-3% and my wifi is receiving 8-16k. I captured the disk usage. It didn't show in this photo but usually there's a correlation between the wifi and disk usage. Why am I basically constantly dl data? Or is that not what's...

Hey, guys I just recently went from Intel to AMD and I've encountered one problem so far. My steam read and redownloaded all my games from my SSD's since I transferred them to the new build. But I'm having one major issue, steam is using 0% disk usage when downloading new games. My download...

Hi guys, I'm on an adventure for weeks now which is fixing a problem in my computer which is getting 100% disk usage sometimes when playing games, In a nutshell, I have two drives, an SSD and a HDD and most times with most games, when I enter them I get 100% disk usage, being only at the drive...

Everything was running smoothly, right until the last windows update (Granted I also installed Visual c++ redis before rebooting, but I think that's irrelevant) My disk (SSD) has a permanent use fluctuating between 11% and 33%, this started yesterday, I figured it was some shenanigans going...

Let's start with this. The SSD works well usually, however sometimes right after startup the disk goes and stays at 100% usage with only 0.5MB/s speeds in read and 45KB/s in write. The PC is very slow when this happens. It started after a Windows update I think, however it never happened with my...

I'm despair on a strange problem. :cautious: My system runs since almost 2 years without any problems. Since about a few weeks I got the problem that when I'm playing a game like overwatch, after a few minutes, textures and 3D models starting to disappear. After a while the whole game will...

I've been having this issue lately, and I am baffled on why it occurs. My 7200 rpm HDD has this fluctuating issue where whenever I use a program for an extended period of time (usually 3ds Max/Maya, alike program of the stature) or play any modern game for extended time (mainly FFXII The Zodiac...

Hello, As seen in the picture attached, my SATA cable is really bent due to the distance between the connectors being much larger than between the hard drives. Because of this high tension, the SSD SATA port is slightly bent upwards too. Will this damage anything or am I just being paranoid?

So I have a B350 AM4+ Gigabyte mATX motherboard and installed it in a Cullinan Rosewill ATX case. There is one cord called "Fan Power Controller" and I have no idea where it goes. I have a couple of pictures below of it. https://imgur.com/TTHDQXa https://imgur.com/8alN1Dc...
