Windows 10: Computer Freezing Disk Usage Spiking to 100% (Event ID 129/153)

So I built my first gaming pc back in September 2018 and since then every couple weeks or so my pc would act up for about a week where basically it freezes for about 1 minute at a time with about 15 second intervals. Here are my specs...


Ryzen 3 1200 CPU

GTX 1050ti by Gigabyte GPU

Gigabye b350m - gaming 3 motherboard

Evga 500w 80 plus certified psu

1 TB WD HDD

120gb Kingston Digital A400 sata 3 SSD

Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400mghz Ram

TP - Link archer t6e Wifi Card


So this has gotten to the point where my wifi card has also been bugging out disconnecting and reconnecting me to the wifi which i believe is due to my pc freezing constantly. I've tried Temp. disabling Windows Search, Superfetch (for me its called sysmain), doing a disk check, going to settings and clicking update drivers for my sata controllers and it says I got the latest version, I do believe my pc has the default Windows Inbox ones. I've seen event id 129 every single time my pc freezes and I've tried setting the MSI value to 0 instead of 1 but its done nothing. I've tried restarting my pc and I believe I did a repair install of windows 10 that keeps ALL the data on my pc that simply fixes windows incase its corrupted.


I've found no solution that has helped me and I'm turning to this forum before giving up and taking my pc to a professional, I'd appreciate all feedback from anyone with any Idea what to do and please ask if you require more info.

Hi, suggest you try Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) - gives a great quick analysis (SSDs too).

Please post the results.

Event ID 153:
This event may be an indication that the specified drive may be failing soon. This is especially true if the event is recorded regularly. The first step is to run the maintenance utilities related to hard drives, starting with CHKDSK and the utilities available from the manufacturer for that specific brand.

Random 100% disk usage spike causing frozen system


ok, there's nothing wrong with my disk.

But I was playing a pc game on this, and laptop froze twice while the disk usage shot to 100%
with no read or write occurring.

Once it finishes whatever it's doing, I can resume using my computer.

What the hell is this bug no one has been able to figure out?

Windows 10 freezes, Disk usage 100 - Microsoft Community
This is the same thing I'm talking about, but it looks like some cockroach that can't be killed.

my system driver is iastorA.sys, but the generic ahci.sys driver affects many computers as well.
Both drivers cause Error 129

stupid win10 bug.

 

100% Disk usage spike on Windows 10

Recently I have experienced that when running most applications (especially gaming) my Laptop would have a disk usage spike to 99% or 100%. when I check the task manager there is no specific program using the disk, its just at 100% usually forcing me to
do a hard restart. baring in mind that when I run the programs the usually run smoothly and very randomly the disk usage spikes. this has only been happening since downloading windows 10. I have read many threads and applied many fixes such as disabling SuperFetch,
BIT service and windows update. I have also disable cloud based protection which seemed to work for some people but not for me, any other suggestions?

 

hello, i have ryzen setup for about 2 years, had the same problem appeared like 2 month ago. Ive read so much forums about this problem, tried 30 different solutions but nothing helped me, except one thing -
You have to switch ahci power management to dimp, the error still occurs, but maybe 1 time a week. I have 2 drives in my setup, WD HDD and SSD with system on it, after the problem appeared i started to install any game on HDD only, because if the 153 shit happens again, it never affect the SSD and windows, only HDD, so i dont get any system freeze. So what you have to do in this situation, quit the game, put your computer in sleep mode for like 10 mins, or you can turn it off whatever (for 10 mins also) And after next launch the problem gone, you can start playing again.
So here are some things that ive noticed during this problem: When you use your PC on idle mode (browsing, watching videos etc) after the launch, no matter how long , the disk problem never appear
When you start any online game that you cant put on pause, for example WOW or overwatch(overwatch makes your pc work on high loads even in game menu), so you can also play these games forever and the problem will never appear until you exit the game, even if you launch the game again you will get freeze until you restart/sleep your pc for 10 mins. Also, if you have more than one drive, the problem will appear only on the one you were playing on.
But, if you start any single game that significantly decreases the load on your pc when you pause it, or open game inventory that imitates pause, you will get the disk error again
I couldnt play alien isolation because of that, i was getting disk errors after 30mins of playing, but after i switched ahci power management to DIMP, i played it 4 days without any error, i got the error on 5th day, but after a quick 10 mins reboot i played it for 3 days again without getting a single error.
upd: currently running himp+dimp mode, 25 days without any error

 

So the real problem was with the powersupply cable that was connected both to my ssd's and cpu fan, when i plagged the fans to another powersupply cable the problem gone
