Hello,


I use a Sandisk 1TB SSD as my boot drive. It continuously is at 100% usage and will freeze up my PC.


This is what it looks like in Task Manager. No programs are running at all at the time of this screenshot. When I booted up my PC today. The SSD was at 100% usage for about 5 minutes straight before finally remaining stable. During times when playing video games, the SSD will randomly spike like this, hindering gameplay. I've heard it could be a SATA cable issue, or possibly a malware problem. I wanted to know what could be causing this before I take any action to solve it.


Thank you.
