Windows 10: SSD disk active time at 100 with no read/write

Hi.

So ever since the 20H2 update, my computer randomly freezes with disk active time sitting at 100 with no read and write. I can move my mouse and I can move Windows around, but I can't click on anything or alt+tab. It happens while navigating different windows and browser tabs. For example closing a Youtube tab, or opening Paint. I can play games for hours straight and it won't happen once.





What the error log says:





I've had this exact same issue before and the fix then was to change MSISupported in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_7901&SUBSYS_7A331462&REV_51\4&2b9cc193&0&0241\Device Parameters\Interrupt Management\MessageSignaledInterruptProperties from 1 to 0, however this time it hasn't worked.


What I've tried:

1 Ran file check sfc /scannow
2 Ran check disk scan
3 Changed the registry key mentioned above
4 Changed the SATA cable
5 Changed the power plan settings to high performance

Specs:

MSI 370 Gaming Plus motherboard

Ryzen 5 1600 CPU

ADATA SP550 128GB SSD About 2 years old

16GB Balistix 2400 DDR4

Nvidia GTX 1070

Windows fully up to date. Running built in WIndows AHCI drivers where I think the problem possibly could be.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

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

 

System Disk Jumps to 100% Active Time with 0 Read or Write

There are a lot of background processes running so disk activity is occasional.

Crystal Disk Report can see how much read/write there is and estimate the remaining service life

SSD generally should last > 5 years in a typical gaming PC.

 

SSD Disk Active time 100%

Ok, that's great you've got your disk activity down- but is it permanent- solved? Good news about AHCI too. Would have been difficult if not.

I've run the same test on my SSD (see my specs) - write performance appears very poor though.




Perhaps I'd prefer to believe these figures from Crystal Diskmark- try this program and see if you get different results. (The tests may not be precisely identical...).



Here's a different top pick:
