Hi all, having a bit of an annoying problem, here's my Specs:
Primary Disc: Corsair F60 SSD
CPU: i5 2400
Mobo: MSI H67MA-E45-B3
Storage: Samsung Spinpoints 500GB, 1 TB, Hitachi 1.5 TB
GPU: 6950 2GB
O/S: Windows 7 Pro
I get this weird problem when I try to open certain files and programs. I assumed it was on of my HDDs acting up as whenever it happens it pauses, makes a bit of a whirring noise before finally doing what I've asked it. That I can understand. However, what baffles me is when I open certain programs (speedfan for 1) and the recycle bin it does the same thing and these are installed on my SSD, my primary drive with windows and all my programs?
The other thing I've noticed is that my windows performance index shows a measly 5.9 for my primary hard disk, which seems a little low for an SSD of the speed of mine. I know that the windows performance index is generally a load of crap but I wondered whether the 2 facts may be related?
More generally the PC performs well, it boots up and shuts down quickly which I know is the work of the SSD I just can't get my head around why this problem occurs and why it is always accompanied by a whirring or spinning sound as if its a HDD with moving bits.
Can anyone of you brilliant boffins shed any light?
