2.5 GB Ram, no application - Disk usage bottleneck - extrem slow response

Hi everybody,
I'm experiencing some trouble. Last weekend, i updated my itunes library with bpm count for DJing via BPMer. The Librarys size is about 100 GB. Usually i have 50 - 75 GB free space depending on the size of some Logic Pro projects.
While updating, Time Machine went crazy with tons of gigs of updates but after some time my internal (not time machine) drive was getting full.
So i started to delete some old files but the left space didnt grow up.
After some time i recognized i had over 100 GB free space, why?
From this time on my disk is going crazy by doing whatever (thats my big question), my Ram is used with up to 2.5 gig without displaying any application using this much space and the free disk space is changing in minutes between 135 and 100 GB.
I tried some maintainace skipts, PRAM reset, Permissions repair, disk repair, virus/ trojan scan without finding the reason.
The real problem is i can see in the istat pro monitoring, that the disk is going crazy, but du in terminal doesnt give me hint on what application it is. The same thing is true for the ram which is used, but no application is listed with more than 200MB.
Thanks for your help!

Defragmenting using iDefrag solved the problem…
The mac only maintains files smaller than 1 GB, iDefrag did the rest…

  • RAM Issues + High disk usage on MSI GE60

    Recently I've noticed that my system slowly eats up RAM. It starts off at 21% and can go as high up as 80% or more. When I'm playing games on it the RAM does not clear up properly either, it stays at 50% or so. This was an issue before that I somehow managed to solve, but it is back again.
    As for high disk usage, that's been a problem since I've had the laptop.
    OS: Windows 8
    Processor: Intel Core i7 4700MQ (2.40GHz)
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M
    RAM: 8GB Memory
    HDD: 750GB
    If you need more info I'll provide it.

    If you open task manager-> performance -> open resource manager / you will see whats eating up your resources
    if its windows see if indexing is off
    did you installed 3rd party software diffrent than stock ?
    how old is your laptop?
    its not normal to have such high usage numbers !! i think its a program causing the problems !
    if you check your resource manager you will be able to see whats causing it
    ps if possible please post a screen shot and ill look into it

  • Disk Utility-Partitioning EXTREMELY slow

    I just purchased a 250GB external HD for backups. I want to create two partitions so I have 50GB as a bootable HD clone (using Carbon Copy Cloner) and the remainder to use as ongoing backups with Time Machine. In Disk Utility, selecting First Aid works normally. But selecting Partition is extremely slow going. I click on Partition and it's gray, not blue. Only after 2 minutes do I get the Partition info. I select the 2 Partitions drop down. That takes another 2 minutes to activate. Naming the 1st partition takes the same time and so forth. Why? I've repaired disk permissions but it still behaves like this.

    The hard drive I'm partitioning is a new external one and it's empty. Do you mean that my internal hard drive (which has about 40GB of data) could slow down partitioning of the ext. HD?

  • Slow response time, applications won't load, etc.

    I'm writing this on behalf of my sister, who is on a MacBook Pro, operating Mac OS 10.4.8.
    Just yesterday, she began to notice extremely slow response time on her laptop, with applications taking up to 5 minutes to load sometimes, and the Internet subsequently taking ages to switch from page to page. The laptop is also constantly freezing up, with the spinning circle showing up frequently, as well as complete system freezes on and off.
    I went on the computer and repaired disk permissions, as well as verified the disk. All went fine. Tried to do a software update in order to update to 10.4.9, but the computer freezes before it can even really begin to download the information.
    Numerous reboots were also tried, with nothing working. I don't want to have to do something extreme like reinstalling the operating system without knowing that there might be a simpler solution, so that's why I'm here! I'd also like to know whether we can save her files (documents, etc.), if a reinstallation is needed.
    Edit: She reports that she did install or download any software or file attachments, and keeps insisting that the problem virtually came out of nowhere, in case this helps!
    Thanks!
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Alright-her computer has gotten progressively worse, and has not even managed to reach the log in screen for the past 10 minutes. Just a grey screen, an apple, and the little twirling loading thing.
    Am at a loss as to what to do...last night, I could log in, but it was still hanging and taking just about forever for it to do anything.
    Is a reformat the only thing left to do? She does subscribe to AppleCare-is it worth calling them, or will they just tell her to reformat as well?
    Edit: I'm beginning to think this might date back to a lightning storm we had a couple days ago-does this sort of behaviour seem to follow the behaviour or something that experienced an electrical surge? Her phone in the room was acting funny as well for a few days.

  • Visualize Ram / disk usage desktop application

    Hey everyone,
    I want to experiment with visualizing realtime ram usage / disk usage in the desktop background, it should also be a bit interactive (when the user moves his mouse the color could change for example) i want to start very basic.
    Can someone point me in the right direction how to begin this? I can program in C#/asp.net, i saw some f# examples but i don't even know how to run them :)
    Tx so much for any guidance.
    Borrie

    Hello Borrie,
    you can use the PerformanceCounter class to get current RAM usage and disk usage(see
    [1] for more information).
    For the visualization, you can use the DataVisualizetion package from the WPF ToolKit [2].
    There is a sample project about visualizing ram usage at

  • Disk Usage stuck at 100%, Factory installed windows 8 running like a turtle not being able to use my laptop. What should i do?

    I have a HP Pavillion Sleekbook 15-b002ee with Third generation core i5 processor 1.7 GHz, 500 GB Hard disk and 4 GB of RAM installed. Windows 8 came pre installed on it.
    I bought this laptop 11 months ago and it worked fine for 10 months and then from the last month its presenting unusual problems. My disk usage is stuck at 100% and the laptop freezes and never lets me work or do anything. Heres what i have already done
    to solve the issue but have been unsuccessful:
    1) I have reset my PC completely and reinstalled windows 8 using the factory setup. Didnt solve the issue, newly installed windows displays the disk usage 100% and the performance is same i.e the system freezes.
    2) I have tried adjusting my paging file, no change made a difference to the performance of my laptop. The default system managed Paging file size is something around 3.89 Gb. Does my problem have anything to do with my paging file?
    3) I have tried solving this issue by disabling the "Windows Search" and "Superfetch" services and still it didnt solve the problem.
    4) I have also run checkdisk on my hard drive completely. It took me a complete day to do so but still no change.
    5) Before resetting my laptop, an error called "Kernel_data_inpage(http.sys)" used to come on my upgraded windows 8.1. Whats the issue?
    So what should i do? Is there any problem with my hardware? Is my hard drive having bad sectors and is that causing the problem? Or is there any other technical problem which i couldnt yet find out?
    I have explained my problem in a lot detail and i would like a clear answer please, i have been at this issue for many days and this forum seems like the last place where i can find relevant answer because Google isnt helping.
    Thanks in advance.

  • KDE 4.7: very slow and high disk usage

    Since upgrade to KDE 4.7 on my i686 laptop, my system behaves weirdly. I noticed a slow down caused by a very high disk usage: when the HDD spins the cpu usage reported by the CPU monitor plasmoid is very high (~ 50%), while top reports a very small CPU load. Another strange symptom is that, when I try to close the session, the system freezes for about 15 seconds before the logout/shutdown/restart dialog window appears, again with HDD spinning furiously. If I exit the dialog window and then try to close session again it works smoothly, so I think some caching is at work at second try.
    This is very painful since it slows down my workflow. Since now I tried to:
    - disable nepomuk, strigi and all that using the nepomukcontroller plasmoid
    - disable compositing
    - delete .kde folder
    - uninstall and reinstall all kde packages
    without any benefit. On the same laptop I have dual boot with a 64 bit arch installation, which does not have the same problem, nor has it my 64 bit desktop pc.
    Does anyone have similar issues? I don't understand what is it that makes the HDD spin so much, nor how to eventually track it down (are there som HDD usage profiling utilities?). Moreover, why top and CPU usage plasmoid report so different CPU usage stats?
    I'm very confused, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Although I'm not having any of the issues as Snack, I have found KDE 4.7.0 to be a very horrible release. In fact, I'm sick and tired of the KDE release notes bragging about killing thousands of bugs each release, when in actuality the first few revisions of each stable release are horrible. When I first upgraded, I ran into at least four really nasty bugs. Although I've worked around some of them, it left a really sour taste in my mouth. Here is what I've experienced:
    1.) With a new user or fresh install, there is no wallpaper by default, even if I install kde-wallpapers before I log in, it makes no difference.
    2.) Sometimes kwin will crash during log out.
    3.) Worse yet, if I exit a full screen game, it will more than likely crash Kwin. This is a problem on my laptop (which has intel video) and not my desktop (which has nvidia video). If I don't remember to disable desktop effects before opening a game, I may run into a problem.
    4.) Although my performance is good, it's not great. I would think a laptop with a Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM would run faster than it is.
    I have tested XFCE for a bit, and I do like it alot. However, with XFCE I am unable to browse Samba shares, and that is a huge problem. In addition, I find KDE's applications to be much better than what ships with XFCE, but I question whether they're worth the performance hit. I really love Kate, Gwenview, Digikam, and Amarok. I know you can install those in XFCE, but they feel out of place and then my desktop pretty much becomes a mutt. Not only that, but KDE is full featured, whereas XFCE is not. It's like I have to choose between a stable desktop or a desktop with full of bugs.
    I hope that KDE 4.7.1 fixes everything, but historically it's usually the 4.x.2 release that really does the trick.

  • Need to limit ram per user +cpu usage % and internet speed

    I go into Windows System Resource Management but I only see limit by process. I need to be able to say limit "greg" to only be able to use a total of 5GB of ram and say 10% of the total available cpu usage. I saw some people suggesting to set up
    proxies for speed limiting but have no idea on how to go about doing that. Or if any1 has any software ideas like I'v tried Net Limiter 3 b4 but it was buggy and stopped other things from working properly on my pc plus don't know if I can use it on server.
    so just to clarify if they are running 1 program they can only uses say the 5GB of ram or if there using 5 differant programs there still limited to only using 5GB of ram.
    Thanks all in advance,
                                        Blue

    Hi,
    You can use the System Resource Manager if you are using the Server 2008R2 or previous edition server, You can set an upper limit on the working set of a matched process,
    but about the RAM limits there have some additional considerations:
    • Do not use memory limits in Windows System Resource Manager to manage applications or processes that modify their own memory limits dynamically. This can interfere with
    the correct operation of Windows System Resource Manager and the managed application.
    •As a best practice, use CPU targets to manage resources. Apply memory limits selectively to applications that exhibit memory consumption issues. Excessively limiting the
    memory that is available to an application can increase the time it takes the application to complete a task, and it can increase disk usage.

  • Warranty Void query(High Impotence) AND DISK USAGE 100% NEED HELP!!!

    I Have an HP Dv6 pavillion 7011tx. after i upgraded this laptop to windows 8, i observed that the disk usage (in task manager) always shows 100% activity..had an Clean boot, tried all the disk checks and management things . rebooted th pc again with windows 8 but still the problem continues..
    i dont think there is any solution to this problem as i have seen many many more other posts similar to this problem
    COMING TO MY QUERY,
    I think that the problem is with bios config, my hardisk type is SATA  but the bios has it set to EF mode currently .
    Which has made my pc very very slow The insyde h20 bios sucks! 
    Bios utlilty doesnt has the option even to change it. Is there any solution to this problem?
    PC Configuration:
    I5 3rd gen intel processor
    6GB Ram
    600GB HDD
    CAN THIS CONFIGURATION ACHIEVE A 100% DISK USAGE EVEN IF NOTHING BIG IS RUNNING IN BACKGROUND?
    I AM THINKING TO BUY AN SOLID STATE DRIVE, i hope that it will resolve the problem as it is compatible on both the mode. I will extend my HDD with SDD!
    Can i do it myself or shall i have to go to HP CENTER.
    DOES MY WARRANTY GETS VOID IF I OPEN THE LAPTOP BACK FOR THIS ?
    REPLY ASAP (URGENT)

    Hi,
    Disk Usage 100% does not mean disk full but there is task which is doing a lot of i/o during that time (probably swap/page file). If nothing using i/o, the number should be down to 0% as shown:
    Now, I start a download, you can see both disk usage and Networks activities:
    In your case, the utility may do a lot of i/o to the swap/page file. My suggestion: stop it or BUYING MORE RAM.
    Hope this helps.

  • High disk usage/high memory usage.

    i keep getting high memory usage and high disk usage in ps cs6.
    its slow when i open a file. how can i solve this problem.
    thank you.
    philip.

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but more than what?  More RAM is almost always better, but you haven't answered most of the questions posed here.  The answer might be different if you have 2 GB of RAM or 32 GB of RAM already.  A 9 megapixel document could get rather large with a lot of layers, but again you've neglected to give any hard info about its size.
    Regarding your video card, that's a bit of a judgment call you need to make.  For Photoshop CS6 I currently advise people to try to get a video card that gets a score of 1000 or better on this benchmark:  http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
    Video card speed will matter when you're editing those 3D components and video card VRAM will also matter, but possibly even more importantly your GeForce 320 is a bit old, and nVidia may just not be doing their best driver work for it any more. 
    Everything in general will run more smoothly with a powerful modern video card.  I like to recommend a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 7750 - or if the computer power supply and your budget allow, the even more powerful 7850.  VisionTek does a very good job with their hardware, IMO, and it comes with a lifetime guarantee. 
    Keep in mind that if you switch from nVidia to ATI or vice versa, you should carefully sweep your system to ensure all files from the old card are removed, then visit the web site of the new card's maker and download/install their latest display driver release.
    Best of luck.

  • Ntoskrnl.exe System %100 disk usage with windows 8.1. all the time!.

    hello i am also having the %100 disk usage problem and am starting a thread to upload my etl. file and see if i can get a solution. thnx. i should also mention i have tried every suggestion i have read on the internet even ones that worked for other people
    did not work for me i.e. (switching to high performance power plan, disabling cd drive, etc.) no matter what i try "system" is always utilizing 90%-100% of my hard drive and it is driving me crazy.
    i can barely do anything on computer without it taking 10x times longer than it should. ive also run dskchk and boot time virus scans and malware scans. all to no avail. i have more than enough ram and a quad core cpu. when i first purchased my laptop it
    was running windows 8 and was lightning fast once i upgraded to 8.1 i think is when the issue started occurring.
    i am currently installing the windows assessment and deployment kit right now and will upload my etl. file to the skydrive asap.

  • Windows 8.1 100% Disk Usage Problem

    I am running a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5110. 12 GB Ram, 456 GB HD with 311 GB free, CPU Max speed 2.7 GH. My computer, as many other
    W8 and W8.1 users seem to suffer, is nearly constantly at 100% disk usage (apparently
    I have seen many claims as to what causes this; some even say it involves a bad HD. However, I do not think my HD is bad because
    1. My HD was fine before I got 8.1, to the best of my knowledge ( was on 8 prior to 8.1)
    2. Most importantly, when my computer isn't in the 100% phases, it seems to work absolutely fine!
    I would like help in figuring out what to do about this problem, as well as why it occurs and why it works the way it does (i.e. seemingly just going away for long periods of time).
    It is extremely difficult to work when my computer is being very slow, and not knowing when it will happen or what makes it stop happening is frustrating.
    I will provide below a list of measures I have taken, edited to include new things tried.
    1. Adding RAM
    2. Increasing pagefile
    3. Running programs to clean up clutter, fix registry problems, free up memory, etc (specifically, Iolo System Mechanic)
    4. Disabling the Windows Search Indexing service
    5. Checking for updates
    6. Running Microsoft Security Scanner (it found nothing)
    7. Disabling Live Tiles (of which I only had one in the first place!)
    8. One person claimed that their problem went away when they ran Skype, of all things. I tried this, though it did not do the trick.
    9. Booting in Safe Mode.
    10. Clean Boot.
    11. My drive is 0% fragmented.
    12. Trying to repair the Windows Image does nothing, as it comes up as being healthy when scanned.
    13. sfc /scannow did not fix the problem either.
    14. Running Microsoft's performance scanner and uploading the .etl file got me a reply blaming Chrome, which is impossible because
    the problem occurs with no programs running. I will try another recording and put it up; the link will be edited in.

    Having the exact same problem on a computer after the Windows update installed from 8.0 to 8.1. 
    Even after reloading the computer  from scratch.
    The drive activity goes WAY up when booting  - to 100%.  It then seems to calm down but randomly will go up and down throughout the day peaking at 100%. Even when nothing is open except a MSWord page into which  I am typing.
    If other programs are open such as Excel and/or Internet Explorer they will display the file name at the top as usual with (Not Responding) at the end. The screen will fade to an opaque look. This lasts for up to approx. 15 minutes at times and the computer
    responds to no keyboard or mouse clicks. The mouse pointer on the screen still moves but nothing happens when I click on anything.
    I managed to keep the Task Manager visible and it clearly shows less than 20% memory use and less than 5% CPU use when this occurs. But the HDD is at 100%.
    The fact that it was fine prior to updating to 8.1 indicates an issue with 8.1 to me. Absolutely nothing else has changed on this machine - aside from Windows Update.
    This is a know fault and I hate W8.1. Once it finishes whatever it is doing then there are a bunch of screen flashes as it catches up to what ever and where ever I had clicked with the mouse while it was frozen. It is like it is catching up because W8.1
    is causing the HDD to ???????????
    Another issue I encounter is the stupid Automatic Maintenance that cannot be disabled. I have found nothing to accomplish this that actually works no matter what anyone has posted on MS sites. It last rendered my computer today useless for approx. +1
    hour today!!! I had been using the computer and it was never idle for more than 1 or 2 minutes but yet it started. It is set to run at 1:00 am but it was only approx. 5:00 pm.!!
    The Automatic Maintenance is not running however, when the computer freezes and uses 100% HDD as indicated by Task Manager.
    Also I can disconnect the computer from the modem or power off the modem and the HDD remains at 100%! So it is not sending nor receiving anything at that time.

  • Windows 8.0 ntoskernel has producing 100% disk usage

    hello i am also having the %100 disk usage problem and am starting a thread to upload my etl. file and
    see if i can get a solution. thnx. i should also mention i have tried every suggestion i have read on the internet even ones that worked for other people did not work for me i.e. (switching to high performance power plan, disabling cd drive, etc.) no matter
    what i try "system" is always utilizing 90%-100% of my hard drive.
    the issue started with windows 7 Ent edition and I decided to reflash the drive Cof my  Laptop  HP Probook 6470B with windows 8.0 ENT 64 bits and has the
    same symptom ntoskrnl.exe is causing hiccups on I/O  and delays . The access to C on windows 8 compared h Windows 7 is better  but continue showing the issue. 
    Other peers on the same company not complaint of this delay but I'm sure that they have same symptom.
    the symptom is that the Ntoskernel read and write constantly  few bytes  for fractions of second but repeatedly, the effect is that  the queue disk
    is high and this issue no let to use the drive C, the system need to wait that the drive is free to let that other applications can use the drive SATA.
    I try to share my .etl collected with  windows performance analyzer ,  but "ONE drive" application no let my up more of 100MB in single
    file.
    If you can help provide some space to upload the file will be appreciated.
    Regards
    Luis Velazquez

    Hi  Wanikiya,
    Unfortunately I can´t remove the Mcafee sw due that is is a policy of my company.
    Checking the MS Performance tool you can see that the behavior that show the disk is caused not by Mcafee process. You can select only Process system (4) and right click and select  filter selection you can see that the output match exactly with the
    disk behavior.
    when you put the mouse and  click the top 100 % line of the graph you will see a message like this:
    Path name- c:\$logfile
    IO Init Stack -- [Root] /ntoskrnl.exe ? /ntoskernel.exe?/nto..../fvevol.sys!?/volmgr.sys!/partmagr.sys!?
    the Pathname change in each point of the graph but the IO Init stack remain the same.
    I'm afraid the the SATA drive is having an issue and windows try to fix.
    But if you found something more let me know.
    Let me tell you that I'm using bit locker encryption and all the data on my disk has been encrypted.
    Any idea will be welcome.

  • 100% disk usage in Task Manager when using Photoshop CC (Windows 8.1 - 64 bit)

    Hi
    I have been using Adobe CC for a month or two now. I own an Asus laptop with Intel i7 (2.4 GHz), 6 GB RAM, 1 TB hard disk space and 64 bit, nearly 6 months old. Following apps are currently installed: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Audition, Acrobat XI Pro, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. I recently performed an update through Adobe CC for Photoshop and Illustrator, all others are up-to-date.
    I believe, but I may be wrong, that since this update Photoshop is acting weird on my laptop. When I start Photoshop, my task manager immediately indicates a 100% rate of my disk usage. This seems to wield off after it is fully operational, but when I start to edit a file, the disk usage immediately jumps back to 100%, while the CPU remains below 10%, RAM stays at 3.5-3.8 GB (only 60% of total capacity) and even the actual read and write speeds of my HDD are not particularly high (5 - 10MB max). And because of the 100% disk usage, Photoshop freezes in an instant and operating it is nearly impossible.
    I already uninstalled Photoshop, went over all services and **** that could trigger this within Windows 8.1 (Google-search for: Windows 8.1 disk usage 100%) , re-installed Photoshop and I still have the same problem.
    So, I was wondering if there might be a solution to this problem or if anybody else is having this problem as well?
    Thanks in advance!
    UPDATE: This error applies only when I try to manipulate, add, edit or remove text. All other functions (not related to text) seem to work properly.

    No, I don't know much about that, but I found a couple links for you..
