Game installed on C: disk makes E: disk go to 100%

[sebbeviper]

Hi! I just recently bought a laptop(Lenovo Y700-17IK), and I am having trouble with games stuttering like crazy sometimes. I have narrowed it down to HDD usage, as my second hard drive (E is spiking up to 100% fairly often.

Since then I transfered as many games as I could to my C: drive which is an SSD, but when running WoW for example, my C: drive is sitting on 6% usage while the E: drive is doing its usual 50% - 100% usage spikes. I'm not sure why the game would cause strain on my E: drive when its installed on my C: drive.

Any ideas?

Can you disconnect the E drive (or go into disk manager and remove drive letter).
If you cant launch the game anymore then there is still something on E that the game needs.

Now before you do this MAKE SURE your OS is on C drive

My OS is on C: drive for sure, I have nothing on E: except for user made folders.
When trying to delete E: drive I am getting this error

And to disconnect the drive I will have to open up my laptop, which I don't want to do just yet

Move your page file to the ssd

I moved my page file to the SSD, which fixed strain on E, but now I am getting memory warnings and my screens went black just now, requiring a reboot. wierd

EDIT: this has now happend twice, both monitors shuts down and I have to restart my computer. all my resources looks fine so I'm not sure what the problem is
