100% Disc utilization

[Michael983]

Hey guys, a while ago my pc was acting up by shutting down when i was in the middle of my games. That issue has been fixed but now i have another issue which alot of people seem to be having.

Whenever my system is just runbning on idle and not running any specific apps (maybe steam or skype) My hard drive seems to go to 100% utilization... After a little while it will go down to 10/15% but then a bit later it will randomly spike up and back down instantly.

Help would be much appreciated!

That tends to be one of the Windows services doing a bunch of data crap. I think it was the indexing service that tends to cause issues, but don't quote me on that.
