    Disk drive spiking to 100%

    My disk drive keeps spiking to 100% but it's not making any weird noises so I don't think it's dying and everything i've searched up so far hasn't worked :C

    What tool is reporting hard drive spiking to 100%?  Have you gone to task manager and seen what was running when it spikes to 100%?

    What do you mean your hard drive is spiking to 100%? Either there is hd activity or not.

    Is this a new installation? Is drive indexing enabled? How about background processes (AV scanning, optimization, etc)?
