Windows 10: SSD Active time 100%, crashes Windows 10

Hello everyone,



I have recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10.


After 10 minutes of starting up my computer, my active time on my SSD goes to 100% and freezes and crashes my computer!


I have tried disabling Superfetch and Windows search, but none have worked!



Any ideas how to fix this issue?

SSD Disk Active time 100%


Hi,
I have a relatively fresh installation of Windows 10 but it often gets very laggy.
- Any window takes a while to open
- Even typing on the keyboard has a delay
- Programs not responding

I did the usual checks such as
- Antivirus / Antispyware
- Drivers update

I noticed that my C: SSD disk is often at 100% "Active Time". There are some processes writing/reading from the SSD but that something the SSD should handle without freezing the entire OS.









Any ideas what's wrong?

cheers,
Tex

 

SSD Disk Active time 100%


Hi,
so the after using the PC for a while with the new SSD, I can confirm that this was the problem.

The problem on the older SSD was not high usage but the fact that even a "normal" usage was creating a bottleneck on everything.

Here, I'm downloading at 370Mbps and the disk activity is only at 10% where the older disk would be at 100%





Those are my disk speeds now:





Thanks for your help.

cheers

 

SSD Disk Active time 100%

Yes, I run the test when the disk was completely idle and 0% usage.

AHCI is enabled. I also run the same test on my 2nd SSD and this one much faster:





I will clone my current system on that 2nd SSD and see if that help. I'm pretty sure that this was the problem.

I'll post back the results.

cheers
