Pc Hard Disk Always 100% Active And It Annoyingly Hangs The System Momentarily by Nobody: 12:05am On Apr 19, 2016
there is this hp elitebook 8440p that am trying windows 10 on, the system freezes momentarily and goes on and in some cases like if am listening to music or playing movies, the songs hangs like mad likewise the movies in fact it makes the system drags like hell. i used task manager to watch the system over 1 week and discovered that the toshiba 640gb is always active ie always in 100%, the time the system unfreezes is when the hard disk percentage reduces but it immediately hangs at 100% again

Disable Avast and monitor the disk I/O operations again.

It seems window 10 is too much for it, reduce it to window 7 bro, if it doesn't work then change the processor...

Maybe you've used more than 50% of your hard disk space; I shall advice you free up your hard disk space and make sure your used space is not up to 50% of the hard disk space; you can buy external hard disk for your storage.

Get a software that monitors system temperature and take the reading of the system temperature. When a system exceeds its working temperature it tends to malfunction or get a blower and clean the system of dust especially the heat dissipation fan.
