Recently my hard drives have been acting weird, this is going to be hard to explain but ill do my best.
Every now and then my hard drives will just start doing something, the hard drive activity LED on my case just stays on, it doesnt flicker or anything, when this happens I cant really run any programs, iTunes will not boot up, some of my games wont even boot up, the windows system health report wont even work correctly, it just hangs on the page were it says collecting information for 60 seconds. Ive looked through task manager I dont see anything unusual, i even check the performance monitor and theres nothing unusual in there also. Even when I try and shut the computer down, it will sit on the shut down screen for longer than normal, and then when the monitor turns off this is when the computer turns off also, but it stays on and the hard drive LED is still on. Is this intel's version of garbage collect? It never did this when I just had one SSD
This is extremely frustrating and im about ready to reformat, even though this windows installation is not even a week old. I have all of the required tweaks for a SSD to run correctly, so I cannot figure this out.
If I just leave it on and let it do its thing, when it finally finishes, I still cannot run some programs, sometimes if I restart it will not do it again and then I can play my games and run iTunes, but also sometimes when I restart after it has finished, it will do it again once it turns back on
