[SOLVED] Reason for hanging - Cpu or hdd

[Shawnfrost16691999]

so i see that my pc hangs a lot when switching between programs . For example - if i try to open microsoft edge it takes take, if i try to open file explorer it takes time but the games like gta 5 run fine...no lag. so i guess graphic card is ok .

now which thing is at fault processor or hdd.

processor - i3 4150
hdd - wd blue 500gb

also note that hdd is always showing 99% even in idle .
also ram is 8gb corsair which is fine.

I cant say for sure for your situation but I know when I swapped from HDD to SSD, it speeded up my system immensely.

Slow HDD, get SSD as soon as you can.
