This is a brand new HP envy-17 laptop, 16gb ram, intel i-7 2.4ghz, 1tb harddrive and a gtx 740 graphic card.
im talking 4 days old but for some reason things are running very slow, lags a lot and opening any program immediately has a 1-2 second lag. all i have done so far are removing a bunch of the crappy apps like ebay, win 8 games, ping, HP camera and other bloating software as well as installing a few basic things like itunes, photoshop and norton.
when i open task manager i see the disk running at 100% nearly all the time even though all i have opened are chrome and steam. its the same thing with whatever else i am running, the software often utilizes nothing more than 5-10mb/s but it would be red warning at 100% disk usage. if i close everything, except chrome as i am googling for results, it would stay at 100% for a bit then start jumping erratically. sometimes 3%, some times 50%, then 100%, then back to 0 constantly.
i've updated all windows updates (it does this before and after), ive updated all drivers, i have tried customizing the virtual memory setting, i have tried disabling everything manually down to the bare minimal i need to run things and it still does this.
what can i do? i want to save factory reset as my last resort. please help!
