How do i update my BIOS? there's 3 different options to download on their website and I don't wanna do the wrong one. I've downloaded that and my SSD...

    Question 100% disk usage when gaming (HDD)

    I thought the ram change had it fixed but after a while the problem started back up again haha. Some good new though I bought a new hard drive and downloaded GTA V on it, I've been on it for 1 hour and no freezes or missing textures and the drive usage look fine! I guess it must have just been a...

    Question 100% disk usage when gaming (HDD)

    The 2x8gb ram sticks were given to me by a friends of my dads, he didn't give us a box or anything with it so all I know is that its Kingston and that they're 8gb DDR4 sticks. I didn't realise ram could cause problems with the hard drive (I'm new to this lol) so I guess that could actually be...

    Question 100% disk usage when gaming (HDD)

    ah just realised that a screenshot before I added more ram, it uses the same amount of 7gb and the same problem persists just as frequently as it did with less available ram.

    Question 100% disk usage when gaming (HDD)

    I didn't know that could cause it, I did fiddle with the cables and it seemed to help for a while but went back to the freezing, you think I should buy a new SATA cable?

    Question 100% disk usage when gaming (HDD)

    Hi, it's always the game application, it'll freeze the game and spin at 100%, then after 30-60 seconds it will stop and go back to pretty much 0%. It does this consistently about every 5 mins. I must note when I play mirrors edge catalyst it only does this during cutscenes but in gta is does it...
