[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3580534, member: 5412"] I have to upgrade to an SSD or a new hard drive. My current HD is in the process of failing. Some days it won't even start up on the laptop and some days it will start up and show 100% disk usage being so slow that it's almost impossible to log on. The longer I stay online the disk usage goes away until about midnight when it starts running normal again. I've googled why my hard drive is showing 100% usage, gone through an hour of deleting files etc. The HD starts working normally halfway through, or I can just wait and it finally starts working normally. Kind of like our bedroom fan. I can turn on the switch and it won't start. 5 minutes later it comes on. I can take it apart with some lube applied on the bearings and get it going for another year.
