Re: FN-FORUM: vista laptop - 45 mins disc activity when doing nothing

date posted 23rd April 2008 14:23

i am going to have to take it back - i have only had it less than 2 months

it wasnt updating, although it was set to auto update but at 3am when the
machine is never on

i accessed the taskmanager and tried to arrange according to CPU most were
00 (which i assume is low) the only ones 02-05 were windows explorer and
taskmanager - so nothing malicious there

but this constant rythmic grinding every 1/3 second has been going on for
1.5 hrs? and is v annoying to say the least and if it is slowing anything
down then that is a problem


everything just dissapeared on the desktop and then returned - i was
updating windows (windows update)


what gives ???
