Hard drive always at 100%

[Silajan]

Hello,

Since one or two days, my hard drive is at a constant 100% usage even when nothing is running on my PC... I have scanned my PC for virus with no luck...

Any idea on how to correct the situation?

Thank you.

Erm, this may seem like a dumb question, but is your hard drive full? If so, try uninstalling some large programs that you don't use any more and defrag it. Can you please share your system specs and a screenshot of your drive being at 100% useage?

Nope, the computer is 5 months old and i got like 75% free space. Not on the computer rigth now gonna tell you the rest tomorow.

OK so is it your CPU or RAM or GPU maxing out instead of your hard drive maybe? Something doesnt quite add up. More details please :)

I don't have access to my computer for the moment, but in task manager it look like this:

Did you ever try turning off your Bittorent?

I use it to SYNC files between my computers. I just turned it off and now I'm at 95% instead of 100%!...

there must be something else that is utilizing your HDD constantly.

try running this command from Command Prompt:
chkdsk C: /f /r /x

it will check disk for bad sectors and repair it if there are any bad sectors

It could be. Did you reboot your PC? There was an update yesterday.
