Hard Disk Constantly Running Vista
Greetings all. Ive been having an issue with my PC and im hoping for some help. This is a computer i built, and its been marvelous. It has a Core2Quad 2.4ghz, 4gb 667mhz ram and a 500gb Hdd. My problem has been that the hard drive wont stop read/writing.
Page 1 of 2 - Hard disk light almost constantly on, computer very slow - posted in Windows Vista: Hello everyone, As can be read in this topic, Im having problems.
Even after its been left alone over night, and for hours on end, ill look at it and it'll still be active. Its also extremely sluggish, even after a clean install of W7, which i know is because of the hard drive. Im wondering if i can get a second, third or fouth opinion.
But im thinking that the HDD might be bad and its time for a new one. Ive tried reinstalling windows, and its still slow to load, and take for-freaking-ever to boot. Thank you for any assistance.
