| 1344854 | 2013-06-06 07:51:00 | Hey, pic attached. Specs as below. Anyone have any suggestions as to why disk usage is always at 100%? Computer is very very slow, even though it is basically a clean install of windows 8. All drivers installed and no viruses etc. I'll put a 4GB stick of ram into it when I get a chance (gfs laptop) but for now just wondering if there may be something running, causing disk usage to sit at 100% which may be causing some of the lag? Thanks Sony E Series Notebook Intel Pentium p6000 1.86Ghz 320GB HDD (Not sure of rpm, presumably 5400?) 2GB DDR3 (?) notebook ram Integrated graphics Side note: Which top web browser has lowest memory usage?

| 1344857 | 2013-06-06 09:18:00 | Scroll down the Disk Usage, something should show whats using it, that Pic only shows about 1/4 of it. Could also be windows updates, W8 does update automatically as soon as its connected to the internet after a install. Also have a look at the App History as well, that will tell you whats been happening. 2GB of RAM is low for W8, so if it is updates they wont install very fast. |
