Hey all,
My computer has been running slow and this is the last try before I assume that the hardware itself is faulty and needs replacing. My computer has been experiencing spiking disk usage used by nothing. I have tried almost every possible fix. The program that takes up the most I/O reads is csrss.exe. It is not malware infected and still runs in a safe boot.
Symptoms: Slow Startup, (15-20 minutes) Slow Login, delayed start menu, using the task bar is very laggy, chrome loads quite slow. Constant freeze in any games (all this still happens when literally nothing is open). Very hot computer and fan going crazy. (have a cooling pad)
Fixes (that haven't worked) : Disabled Superfetch, BITS, Windows Defender, (might has missed one but I think those are the common culprits. Persists in a safe boot. Ran MWAB with nothing discovered. Deleted and played with permissions of user accounts (can be the result of high csrss usage). Ran Registry Cleaner, Disc Check, Repair, and even persisted through a factory reset. Set Virtual Ram higher and also disabled it. Power options are on high performance, anything else and the computer is unusable. Obviously multiple restarts. Updates have been installed. Ran RKill. Unchecked Max memory in system boot.
This problem did not happen in Windows 8. Since my computer came with Windows 8 I don't have a disk to downgrade. At first I upgraded and then did a clean install. Can't downgrade because of repairing and clean install. Don't know what else to do before throwing this computer away.
