For the past 3 days my computer has started having its harddrive spin for no reason at all and it has slowed to even making programs not respond. I have had to hard reset it two times now. All started when I went to update my facebook and it had been idling (nothing unusual) and has been doing it since. I watch a movie and it laggs it really bad every 5-7 min, go online and makes it freeze or just be slow. I read up on it and people have said that it could be indexing stuff and could take a few days for it to stop and to turn it off and just did that restarted the computer and still does it. I havent downloaded anything or done anything out of the norm. Did a full virus scan on it and it didnt turn up anything, done a defrag, disk clean up. Some of my friends say that I may be looking at a new hard drive and that it shouldnt be doing this.
My specs are...
Lenovo G560
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
cpu: Intel(R) Dual Pentium(R) CPU P6100 @ 2.00GHz (x64) at 1999MHz
gfx: Intel Corporation Intel(R) HD Graphics (Pentium) 1.68GB
res: 1366x768 32bit 59Hz
ram: 3894.9MB
hdd: C:\254.14GB
Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller
Heres a picture of what I mean, the disk activity is at 100% for no reason at all.
And for the life of me or my computer, it has yet to find the SP1 download for windows 7 and currently doesnt have it and when I go to download it manually from microsoft, there are many to choose from and I have no clue which one to get.
Any and all help is welcome, this is getting annoying and fast.
