Hello Tom'shardware community.
I have relatively new PC (specs below), and everything with it runs fine, apart from a strange issue where it takes a really, really long time to access any video media I haven't opened for a long time. I thought it might be the HDD, so I defragmented it and ran 'HDtune', and got what seem like normal results (compared to others with similar HDD), will post a pic below. The problem really only seems to affect files that haven't been accessed during my session on the PC - once they've 'loaded' once, they open quickly if closed and reopened. So in a nutshell, I go to my a folder containing video media, try to open a 300mb file of various formats and it takes up to 45 seconds to open, all the while the green progress bar moves slowly across the top of the windows 7 file explorer. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?
Motherboard : Gigabyte H81M-S2PV
CPU : Intel I5 4th Gen 4670 Quad Core 3.4Ghz (turbo 3.8Ghz) CPU
Hard Drive : 1tb Sata Hard Drive
Memory : 8gb DDR3 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance Memory
Graphics Card : Geforce GT 640 2gb (Dual screen support via DVI /HDMI / VGA)
Software : Windows 7 Home 64 bit
Some 'Intel Rapid storage Technology' software came installed on the PC, and runs on start up. I've left it alone assuming it does more harm than good, but I'm still looking at it suspiciously...
Any help is appreciated.
