Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

when screen goes off, my laptop secondary hard disk switch on and off with high frequency (every 1-2 seconds).
Set in control panel.. power options..advanced settings

turn off hard disk after .. "never" , has no effect.

Laptop has less than 2 months and the issue has showed up immediately.

 

Thanks,

Piergiorgio.

I suggest running a full diagnostic on the 1 TB secondary drive from the UEFI preboot environment. Tap esc as you power up then F2 then storage and find that disk and run full diagnostic on it and report results back here, please.
