I don't have the specifics of the laptop, as it seems to be hit or miss if it works for a bit before slowing down to a crawl or just does it almost right after startup. Its an ASUS gaming computer ive had for about 3 years now.
Running windows 10, and starting yesterday it has begun to basically freeze and nothing will load unless you wait about 5 minutes per click.
I was able to wait and open the task manager to see the CPU usage at 100%, but had none of the processes above .1% which means it did not add up. At that time, disk was down at nothing. At one point it had flipped completely to be disk at 100% and CPU at next to nothing.
I tried a few things like turning off windows search and disabling a bunch off startup but its a slow process with how its working right now. I did manage to run Hardware Sentinel and check the drive itself as that came up on one suggestion, and to my suprise that had it at 98% health which does not suggest a bad drive to me.
My antivirus picked up something last night and removed it, i don't remember downloading anything to cause this but i figured getting rid of it might of solved the problem but to no avail.
If anyone has an idea, im open to try anything at this point.
Thanks
