My problem is 100% the same as the one discussed here: http://www.eightforums.com/performance-maintenance/13390-100-disk-usage.html
Except I never saw a definite conclusion.
There is a similarly worded question in the forums that says solved but I did not feel that it fully related to my situation. I am having an issue where my disk usage says it is at 90-100% even though it shows that I am using less than a megabyte of disk space. I have set pagefile to off, default, 16gb, 500mb but the same thing keeps happening. When I set pagefile to off it simply stayed at 100% even though everything seemed to be running OK. I have 8GB RAM and an updated BIOS. The 100% usage doesn't slow down my games at all but it does slow down the opening speed of files and internet browsing.
I don't know if this is a separate issue, but sometimes when I am browsing the internet on any browser my Disk usage will show 100% and my PC will freeze for a variable 2 minutes, although I can still use my mouse. My PC is fully protected, I've been experiencing it since the first week that I built my PC. I even experienced the problem on my old laptop, but they are 100% independent. Windows Vista killed itself and my Hard Drive was damaged on my old laptop so I never had a chance to transfer files.
