disk usage 100%, but usage 0mb

[Sleepovr]

hello guys. i have lenovo y510p laptop. lately, my laptop's disk usage often go to 100% without reason. i get it if the disk usage 100 and program use xx mb disk usage, but more often disk usage at 100%, but no program have more than 0 disk usage. when that thing happened, i can't do anything browsing = waiting for cache, photoshop and any other program are not responding,

is this a software issue (os, virus, etc), or my hdd is corrupt ?

Do a virus scan. Then download CCleaner and clean your disk. It will most likely clear the disk of unwanted clutter.

thanks. i've checking for virus (using norton 360), and clean it with cc cleaner.

i'll test it for a couple hours to confirm if it is working or not.

edit : after 5 minutes ... nope ... doesnt help. still 100% disk usage ...

i think this is it ... the hdd is broken ...

Hi there Sleepovr,

If you think that there is something wrong with the drive, you need to back up the data stored on it.

After that, you can test it with a tool that can provide a SMART report. This will show the overall health status of the drive.
Try these: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility

Let us know how this goes,

@D_Know_WD i've installed hdtune. health status read yellow (warning). error scan result = 12 damages blocks (0.6%).

right now i'm really don't know what to do. i'm on my final semester doing my final (less than one month deadline).

i guess the right diagnose is my hdd = corrupt

Yeah, it's corrupt. But for a bit more info, please post screenshots of the program results.
Also, open 'cmd' and type 'chkdsk' and let us know the results...

Well, I believe the drive could fail at any moment. On the other hand, it could stay like that for quite some time.

Anyway, you shouldn't keep important data stored on the drive.

Thank you all for the reply. Right now I found temporary solution (it's working +- 9 hours without freeze). I log on my laptop, and wait it for entering sleeping mode. After that I wait for a minute or two, and start using it. Viola ! (I don't even know why it behave this way)

Anyway, this is the chkdsk pic

Well, the results look fine, but anyways, the drives are not to be trusted now, get new ones.
