Disk running on very high percentage

[toomas8super]

Hello, so i have had this problem for a month now. My disk is going to 99%-100% when i am opening programs. In games my fps drops like 80% for a couple of seconds and then goes back to normal ex(League of legends i normally have 100fps and it spikes to 20fps for couple of seconds and then goes back to 100) I have tried the other fixes and they did not work for me. Also usually some kind of a windows task is slowing down my pc like System in the task manager. May this be due to damaged hard drive?

Could you provide your system spec and also which "...other fixes...did not work..." for you?
Do you have any errors in the 'Even Viewer'?
Change Energy Options to High Performance and if that does not work then try disabling 'Windows Search'.
If that does not work then try disabling "SuperFetch'" services.

I wanted to know specific errors ID.
You system is generating too many errors. The disk usage could be caused by the Event Viewer constantly writing errors to the disc.
Could you check log size in the Event Viewer under logs properties.

 

[toomas8super]

C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs if this is the right place then the log files are 122MB

-Check the 'Task Manager' and see which process has increased disk activity.
Open 'Task Manager', click the 'Details' tab, right-click the processes with high disk usage and click 'Go to service(s)'
The 'Services' window, with highlighted services opens up. You could stop the processes.

I need to know 'Application' and 'System' specific error(s) in the Event Viewer (e.g. Source storahci / Event ID: 129 /
Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort1, was issued.

It's not like something is taking too much disk usage, whenever i do something on my pc it goes to high percentages. Like when i open google chrome my disk goes to 99%-100% for like 30 seconds or sometimes even longer and it happens with any other program. And when i am watching youtube videos the videos lag out and then go back to normal. May this be due to damaged hardware?

Go to Task Manager> Services right click 'DiagTrack' and select 'Stop'. Does the disk usage stops?

Try Process Explorer to find 'Service' constantly using the disk...even though it shows 'System' as the culprit ther is another service running under it.

The addition of 4 GB of RAM should definitely help, I'd think, and it's not that expensive. To find out what's doing all the disk activity, open Task Manager, Processes tab, and look at the column titled DISK. If you want to spend about $80, you can get a 240 GB SSD and put Windows on it. That won't fix the problem, but it'll greatly improve overall disk performance.

I have never had any problems with my computer. It had no problems running any of the games i play. The problem is still not fixed and "DiagTrack" is stopped

Did you try Process Explorer to find 'Service' constantly using the disk?

 

[toomas8super]

Did you try Process Explorer to find 'Service' constantly using the disk?

Service does not have high disk usage

 

[wpgwpg]

Did you look at disk activity in Task Manager?

 

[jojesa]

Did you try Process Explorer to find 'Service' constantly using the disk?

Service does not have high disk usage

In Process Explorer, did you identify any 'Process' with high disk usage?
Are you able to see (Reads, Read Bytes, Writes, and Write Bytes for each process?
In case you don't see this data in a column, then you add the columns that show this data.
Open Process Explorer, right-click on any column header and click on 'Select Colunms...'
Select the 'Process I/O' tab and check 'Reads', 'Read Bytes', 'Writes' and 'Write Bytes' then click 'OK'.
Now you will see columns that list disk usage for each process.
Look for the process with the highest number of 'Reads' or 'Bytes'.

I'glad you solved the issue.
Pay attention to any changes you make along the way, and any Windows update and in case you encounter the issue.
That way you will be able to single it out.
