    SSD/Windows Boot Drive running at 100% and causing Freezing


    So for about 2 weeks now my 2 month old gaming pc has been acting up. It constantly freezes after a couple of seconds for up to a minute. I've opened task manager and seen that my Disk 1 Drive or my ssd that I have windows on (I have 1 ssd and 1 hdd) Is running at 100% for no reason with maybe 3 apps open. My HDD is at the normal 1-2% though, my CPU sometimes goes high as well to around 50% again for no reason just by using chrome or using discord. I'm extremely confused on what to do and any help would be greatly appreciated!


    PC Specs...


    Ryzen 3 1200


    GTX 1050ti


    16gb 2400 DDR4 ram


    Windows 10 home 64 bit


    1 120gb ssd by kingston


    1 1tb HDD by WD


    P.S: I've tried restarting my pc as well as deleting temp files and even going into the storage tools and clicking optimize for my drives and nothing works.

    :)

    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.

    SSD f/w upgrade causing PC freeze at boot but it still working in windows.

    Need help, I got Adata SU800 not detected in BIOS after I upgrade its firmware, but it appear in windows 7 and working properly.
    If the drive attached it would freeze at boot time, so I decided to turn on the SATA hotplug and plug it after entering windows.
    My motherboard is Asrock AB350 Pro4, i already try to switch on different sata port still no luck.
    I contacted the Asrock support several time but they never respond.
    I contacted ADATA support they said I can't downgrade the firmware and suggest RMA, but I got unlucky the seal is broken because friction with the PC case.
    Any workaround for this? My plan is to install Windows on the SSD.

  4. SSD/Windows Boot Drive running at 100% and causing Freezing

    Windows boots to the desktop then freezes

    Yeah...I went to google and got the F8...lol*Stick Out Tongue SSD/Windows Boot Drive running at 100% and causing Freezing :p....thxxx

    It boots up in safe mode and seems to work fine. Now I just need to figure out what's causing windows to freeze up befor it fully loads in normal start up operation.

    Any suggestions where I might start ?
