Windows 10: SSD spiking to 100% when using specific programs or at random and system freezing shortly...

The SSD on my pc spikes to 100% when using specific programs or sometimes at random. Task manager doesn't show anything using the SSD and if i click or try to do anything the system freezes entirely.Here are the programs so far that i use that "trigger" this: Malwarebytes free when doing a custom scan and selecting all discs, Bloons TD 6 at startup.Note: if i launch Bloons TD 6 and the spike happens sometimes the system freezes instantly and sometimes very rarely i am able to end the task before the system crashes.

Random 100% SSD usage spikes freeze computer for 15-30 seconds

Hey guys,

I've been having an issue with my computer for the last couple of months where it randomly freezes (could be simply using Word or playing any game), I've been trying to find a solution but I've been unsuccesful.

Whenever it happens, the task manager shows a 100% usage for the SSD without any real indication of what could be causing it:





Debating on buying another SSD to see if that fixes it.

Also, I found a post from 2016 with the same problem but I couldn't make Intel RST work on my PC

Random spikes of 100% disk activity on system drive.

Would seriously appreciate your help.

Thanks !

 

Windows 10 Freezes; SSD's transfer rate goes to 100%

Hi,

I am experiencing the same exact problem.

• Dell Latitude E5520
• Windows 10 Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.953)
• Seagate Momentus XT 500GB (Booting Drive, Disk 0, based on combination 4GB SSD and the rest is HDD).
  • The last few months it was freezing briefly (within a minute or so) and then unfreezes. All activities that do not need to access the drive can be done normally while frozen up to some point.
• Crucial MX300 SSD 525GB Booting Drive (Disk 0), recently bought to replace the above 'aging' Seagate.
  • Freeze after a few operations and remains frozen until Power Recycled.
    
  • Disk Active Time spikes to 100% while Disk Transfer Rate is 0 or minimal.
  • All activities that do not need to access the drive can be done normally while frozen up to some point.

• I have not tried replacing the Microsoft generic SATA driver yet.

Hope the above helps pin-pointing the issues. I would greatly appreciate assistance in how to replace the SATA driver, if there is no cure from Microsoft yet.

Thank you in advance!

UPDATE:

Applied KB4015438. Same issue:

• Freeze after a few operations and remains frozen until Power Recycled.
• Disk Active Time spikes to 100% while Disk Transfer Rate is 0 or minimal.
• All activities that do not need to access the drive can be done normally while frozen up to some point.

UPDATE (03/27/2017):

Applied KB4016635. Issue persists:

• Freeze after a few operations and remains frozen until Power Recycled.
• Disk Active Time spikes to 100% while Disk Transfer Rate is 0 or minimal.
• All activities that do not need to access the drive can be done normally while frozen up to some point.

Replaced Microsoft Generic SATA Driver to OEM (Intel) Driver. System has been stable since 03/26/2017 15:10.
