    Hard Drive working at same time everyday
    « on: May 20, 2010, 01:44:20 PM »
    Every day from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm my hard drive runs constantly making my system unusable. I don't think it is my antivirus because this was happening before I installed it. I've checked for spyware and viruses but nothing. I"ve tried Task Manager but it doesn't show anything. Thank you or any advice.

    Window XP 2
    amd athlon 64 processor 3400+
    2.20 ghz
    1600 mhz fsb
    512 kb l2 cache

    200 gb ata hard drive

    512 mb ddr sdram

    ati radeon xpress 200

    dvd+/-rw 16x double layer multi format drive

    Check task scheduler
    Also check to see if your defrag utility is scheduled to auto defrag
