Here's my situation. After rebooting, the disk activity is so heavy
(after logging in) that I almost can't do anything until it stops. The
activity lasts anywhere from 5-10 minutes. I am able to run Process
Explorer from sysinternals and it shows that the "System" process is
the only thing occupying the CPU and that it is doing a massive amount
of writes. After the last reboot, it wrote 5 billion (yes with a "b")
bytes. However, Filemon shows little to no activity during this time
so I have no idea what file(s) the process is writing to. I just now
right-clicked on my computer to get the CPU speed and another thrashing
event occurred (5 minutes and counting). This time I can't even get
process explorer started. Anyway I have 2 GB Ram, XP sp2, indexing is
turned off, in system.ini I have ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1,
system-managed virtual memory (I've tried moving/defragging that to no
avail), and the CPU is a Pentium D 2.8Ghz. No idea what to do. Any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
