Mother-******.
Ever since I replaced the power supply on my (refurbished) desktop, I've experienced 100% disk use. I'd imagine the two are unrelated, but a Google search shows at least one other person had a similar problem.
When I first installed the PSU, I heard wretched noises and vibrations from the machine. After rejiggering the HDD, the noises ceased, but the disk use remains.
I've unconnected and re-connected the power-supply and the HDD. It does not matter which programs I run, disk use often spikes to 100% when I try doing something (e.g., Googling, opening a word processor document). The user experience is not as soul crushingly sluggish as I'd expect, but there are hiccups and things can grind to a halt. If I just leave the machine idle, disk use will fall down to 1-3%. I can stream a video from Amazon Prime mostly without issue (in Firefox).
According to Task Manager, different processes trade off on who is most responsible for disk use. Firefox might top out at a few MB/s, but System sometimes comes on takes up as much as 45MB/s, then quickly falls back down. Typically the top process is .1MB/s. I am also experiencing high percentage use regarding the CPU and Memory. As I type (CPU is 96%, Memory is 91%, and Disk is 25%).
I've gone through virtually all of the recommended fixes that websites suggest.
I've...
run Check Disk.
searched for a virus.
disabled superfetch
disabled Windows search
updated Windows
changed energy options
reset virtual memory
"fixed" the PCI-Express firmware bug (StorAHCI.sys driver)
Nothing works. I want to do a reinstall, but I've noticed that in transporting the unit, someone scratched the sticker with the Windows product key. It's missing two or three characters. Would I need that key? I want to say I was wise enough to snap a picture of it when I first received the computer, but I doubt it (and I haven't started searching through archived photos).
Any suggestions would be kindly appreciated.
