Hello
i have a an old Dell Vostro 220 (core 2 duo, 3gb ram) that i have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (official and licensed) on (we are making and old skool arcade cabinet), CPU and memory usage is fine but HDD usage is always in the 90-100 range
i can see is task manager what applications are taking up the HDD usage percentage (usually chrome taking up 50-60 per cent) but if i run the PC on idle something always takes up all the HDD usage
is this drive just dead and needs replacing ?
what do you guys think ?
P.S. i tried this pc on windows 10 and had the same problem with the HDD but in windows 10 task manager doesn't register what is taking up all the HDD usage
p.s
