Harddisk 100%

[Gavvodka]

Hello,

I've been having trouble fixing my issue where my disk is running at 100% constantly resulting in slow processing and quick battery depletion. 

I've read other posts and threads and followed the instructions however anything I change/remove hasnt fixed the issue.  The only thing I've not tried is to update/replace my BIOS, before I venture into that I want to make sure I've covered all other instructions and if I need to update BIOS I have an expert on hand to help walk me through it.

The product number/name i have is  W2K44UA#ABA

Any help woud be greatley appreciated.

Thanks

Gavvodka

I read the post regarding the computer being super slow and having performance issues. It will be a pleasure to assist you here.

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

• Have you run complete hardware diagnostics on the computer to eliminate hardware failure?
• Did this happen after a windows or software update do you remember?
• Have you run virus and spyware scans on the machine?
   
• For a start, please perform complete hardware diagnostics on the computer to ensure that the hardware is fully functional.
• If any failure code gets displayed for a failed component, then please make a note of it. The computer needs to be serviced as it could have a hardware failure. Please run both extensive tests and component tests. It takes about 2 hours to run.
• If all the tests pass, then please run virus and spyware scans with very reliable security software to quarantine them or delete them if found.
• Later please perform all the prescribed steps from this document for slow performance issues. Please perform only those steps that have not been done yet by you.
• Also please perform all the prescribed steps from this document HP PCs - Using Task Manager (Windows 10, 😎
• Please check which process is eating up CPU and computer resources and make a note of it Then follow all the steps mentioned in the document to try and resolve the issue.
