WTF is wrong with my laptop?
Okay techie people, what the fuck is wrong with my laptop? It runs fine for 10 minutes after turn it on, but then the harddrive starts constantly reading/writing to itself and everything slows to a crawl. After about 10 minutes the fan kicks in - a few minutes later the harddrive calms down and everything returns to normal.
10 minutes later, the harddrive starts going mad again, everything slows to a crawl, and it remains like this. No error messages or anything. WTF is wrong? I defragged the harddrive a few days ago, and there's about 8gig free on it. My theory is that it's overheating and fucking up the RAM so it resorts to overusing the virtual memory. Anyone got a better idea as to what's wrong,and how do I fix it?  |

Then its definitely your harddrive or video on the motherboard which is something more serious.

A defective HD is a possibility.

here are a couple of tools you can look at:
Filemon (realtime file usage monitor) http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml Regmon: shows what items in the registry applications are using: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/regmon.shtml these might help you track down the disk activity at least. |

You are a genius! Turns out that the file indexing system was going insane, so I disabled it and that fixed the problem! |

When the Lappy is doing this, hit Control-alt-delte gointo task manager and tell me everything look at wahts in there. Look for shit out of the oridinary like BACKUPS, multiple antiviruses running at the same time, stuff like that. Also if you have more than 25 objects in that list its to many and your system will crawl.
You could also start/run/ type msconfig /enter/and clear the START UP LIST from everything. That way no scheduled objects run untill you manually start them, they wont start when windows starts. just a few ideas. |
