[SOLVED] Cabinet red light steady On, painfully slow PC

[hartigan_ref]

Hey...
So I,ve had this desktop for about two years now, about a week Ago I had some BSOD, and after restarting, it would not boot into windows 10, after a few tries, it Would turn on, after a few seconds the Pc would turn off by itself, So I went and formatted with a flash drive, still same problems... when I could get it to boot up, it was Extremelly slow, unusable slow, So I bought a brand new HD with 1tera, I could never even get to install the OS on it, it would get stuck on the choose partition part, then I went and replaced my PSU, for a new 600w one, but Still, the exact problems repeated... and now After about an hour, I can boot into windows, but it’s also unusably Slow!!!
I am only between Mobo or CPU now, and am really afraid to buy since I’m not sure which one went bad!! The red light besides the Cabinet reset button is Steady on constantly!!!!
I’ve replaced HD, psu and also swapped the Rams, nothing helped!!! Really appreciate any insight as to what to replace next guys

I’ve got a M5A97 mobo, 2x8 ram, an FX8350 Cpu and a gtx970 for GPU!!

Windows 10 is a HDD killer. It just reads and writes and just keeps HDDs spinning.

The red light in your cabinet is the HDD being constantly read and written.

Open your Task manager and look at the performance tab and look at the disk usage.
Go to processes and see which process is eating up your HDD time.

If you are connected to the internet then the Hdd is ded, windows silently downloads updates after updates, definitions after definitions for the Defender which is more malwarish than real malwares.

All these operations are very straining for your HDD. Imagine playing games or doing anything while copying large files.


Go to services and disable:
1) Shadow copy
2) Windows superfetch
3) Search indexer

There is no way to stop windows 10 from downloading updates or scanning your PC for malwares.
Get an SSD.
