Re: 100% disk usage

There is one thing you can try though.

Press the Windowskey and R, then type services.msc .

Once a new windows opens look for superfetch and change start up type to Disabled and reboot. See if that helps sometimes it does. If it doesn't work then you can just got back into services.msc and change the Superfetch service back to Auto again.

    One other thing to try is to disable Origin In Game that sometimes helps too.

    well its a start in the right direction. Ok another question for you have you updated your Intel Drivers for either Intel Chipset or Hard drive controller?

    If you have updated Intel RST, uninstall it and let Microsoft's driver take over and see if that helps.

    If your using Intels RST 13.x.x branch that has been known to cause some issues if using the microsoft driver helps i suggest you download from intels site Intel RST 12.9.4 as that is a stable driver for the intel sata controllers. Also can you confirm your running in AHCI mode and not IDE this can be found in the Bios of your laptop. Some times you have to press either F2 Del or F11 to get into the Bios.

    If this is not updated manually, I haven't.

    Its normally manually done updating wise on Intel RST. did you check the bios for what mode your SATA controller is set in i.e AHCI or IDE?
