Computer behaves "strange"

Also when you run chkdsk there is 2 options.
Fix file system errors only
chkdsk c: /f
Check for file system errors and bad sectors
chkdsk c: /r
The bad sector check will take a while depending on the size of the drive.

Okay so I did both of them yesterday, had to went to sleep because it took too long (I have 2tb of hard drive). So everything seems to be faster, I went on and play some of my game and it worked better, but it still spikes up to 100% active time on some occasions and slowed down but it happens less frequently. I don't know how to find out which one is using the most resources at the time it spikes, can you help me out? Like a history log or something?

SO I took a picture out of disk activites in perfmon:
Seems to be lots of MS uses, like one notes, bings, which I've never used on this computer?

Hey Shane,
Thanks for your help, I know you have your job outside to attend to so you couldn't help me much, but you tried. I ran out of ideas of how to fix it and the Refresh my PC option wasn't working. But somehow I used the Advance Restart option and then the Refresh feature worked. My PC is fine now without losing much of my old files. :P

hi PUO,;
Please download the process explorer. It is a free tool from sysinternational , sister concern of Microsoft. While you execute, it will show, what processes are all running and which takes much percentage.If you see, any unwanted process, other than window processes, you could report so that Shane will be able to advise particular on the process. It is a simple program and you could see yourself the difference of processes as in Task manager and in Process explorer.

Holiday weekend and just got back into my office :-)
I think it was one of the 3rd party programs that wanst letting the refresh work, when you disabled them it let it work finally :-)
Good to hear you got it working better.
