![]() 2 Throughput Performance: Normalized: 52, Worst: 52, Threshold: 0, Value: N/A.1 Read Error Rate: Normalized: 100, Worst: 100, Threshold: 51, Value: 818.I don't really know how to read these, so some help here would be really nice. Here, browsing around the hard drive in Nautilus is snappy, but it's not really running under the same conditions, I suppose. I've booted onto a LiveCD version of Ubuntu. Perhaps frighteningly, I can actually hear the hard drive 'clicking' somewhat when the system shows the hard drive at 100%. Prior to this, the computer would boot and be ready to go in about 10-15 seconds. And then in the last week, just using the computer at all has become impossible. This just started happening about a month ago, where it would be very slow for < 1 minute and then would work fine. The computer is up to date with Windows Updates.chkdsk has been run and found no errors.The DVD drive is disabled (wtf I know, but I'm desperate here and someone said it helped).The power management is set to high performance.I've disabled all startup processes and all non-microsoft services.The virtual memory is set to 8000mb initial size and 16000mb maximum size.I have tried almost everything suggested in the various forums and links above: 8gb RAM, 1TB HDD (750GB free), Windows 8 came pre-installed. The only applications I've installed are VLC & Chrome, along with Steam and several games. Bought <6 months ago and only used as a gaming PC. Even booting and shutting down can take 5-10 minutes.Ībout the computer: It's virtually new. Trying to launch (not actually launching, but just typing the name of a program to launch) can take minutes. ![]() Going back to the classic desktop can take minutes. The amount of data being read from/written to the disk is minuscule (usually under a couple hundred kb/s), with enormous latency, usually upwards of 5000ms.ĭuring this time, the computer is entirely unusable. ![]() By that I mean, roughly 30 minutes before it drops back to 0%, and then any usage (eg: opening chrome) sends it back up to 100% for a long time. In short: even with only system processes running, directly from a boot, the hard drive usage goes to 100% and remains like that for an excessive amount of time. Unfortunately, none of the solutions there have worked. Tom's Hardware (I'll spare you the links due to ads).The Lenovo forums have some users complaining about this too ( here).Microsoft support forums ( here, here.).Super User ( here, here, here and so on).This is a problem I've seen described in many places:
