Wondering if anyone can offer some troubleshooting tips.
Periodically, a Windows Home Premium PC will engage in heavy drive
activity, usually accessing the page file, thumbcache, searchindexer
or a windows media 360 file ( forget the file name). When this drive
activity occurs and an application is closed (usually IE, Windows
Explorer), the application will hang briefly and often times stop
responding.
So far I've tried:
1. Defrag -a command. Volume is 0% fragmented.
2. SFC / SCANNOW -- everything checked out.
3. A checkdisk on startup. Everything was OK.
Crashes have lowered the System Stability Chart to a 5.7 reading --
and falling.
Any Windows experts able to suggest some other things to try out?
Thanks!
