SSD Shows 100% Usage, slows down

[JimDeezy]

Hey I have this thread going too and just posted an issue I ran into:
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2803581/overclocking.html

This is what I said there
"So I monitored my usage in task manager, everytime my computer stutters and freezes up my SSD boot drive that has 34.7 GB of 111GB free shows and gets stuck at 100% usage as shown here http://i.imgur.com/8BmjGiF.png

What should I do? I tried disk cleanup but it doesn't free up much and I don't really know what else to free up on it if that's an issue... maybe upgrade to a larger and newer SSD or switch windows installations to another drive somehow or something? Is this the issue?...."

I don't know why that is happening, but it is NOT due to free or used space on the drive. It must be a different issue. Is there a virus/malware program scanning when this happens?
Try and see which processes are using up all the disk I/O's---

the disk is being used but is not being used... something strange is going on here. in the process tab you should be able to see everything that is running, click on the "disk" tab that will show you what process is using the most disk time

I've monitored processes during the 100% Disk Usage and can't really pinpoint any program that is causing the issue while I'm just idling on the desktop and get 2-3 freezes...

In the thread I linked I also when over problems I was having with Open Broadcaster Software, and did notice that when I get stuttering in that while I have it and an application running it shows my CPU performance go up to 100% for a few seconds with OBS using the most percentage,
though I still experience freezing when I only have chrome open too and CPU isn't maxed out....

So IDK, maybe it is just the SSD being fault in combination with me needing to upgrade the FX-8350...
I tried running my CPU fan faster to keep the CPU cooler, I might still try a overclock before spending $$ on a bigger SSD and maybe intel's skylake i7......

I'm stilling having this issue, and think I will get a new (prolly a samsung EVO 250GB SSD, my fourth drive on the computer and install Windows 10 on it and make it might boot drive).

Would this fix the issue/ is it the best way to do things?


When I installed this current new SSD I just installed Windows 10 on it and left the windows installation on my original 1TB, im thinkin about booting off the old one just to see if it fixes this freezing issue too first.

45.2 GB free, still freezing up 🙁
