So for some reason, what resource monitor calls "system (PID 4)" is constantly writing to my hard drive, and by constantly I don't mean a few kb here and there, its consistently writing tons and hogging the hdd for no apparent reason. It's not eating up cpu or ram, just hdd. And mostly just writing the whole time. I assumed this was because of indexing or event logging, so disabled both, but it still persists. It only began fairly recently, but I can't tie it to any specific event.

As far as avast! and I'm concerned, there are no viruses, and I assume this has to do with some sort of driver or other issue thats making the computer decide to just write all the time. I tried a disk monitor, but it only lists the sectors - which is no use to me.

I've tried everything I can think of, and its driving me nuts...

Here is my hijack this log, I'm not sure if it helps, but I'm at a total loss.

Thanks in advance,

ok, well I'm pretty sure its not malware, I'm just out of ideas of what could be causing the issue... so I posted the log in case there is any useable information in it. Like I said, I don't know what to say or start since I've exhausted everything that would typically remedy the issue. Should I just start one in highjackthis, just so they can check the log?

Your log was clean, I don't suspect your problem is malware related either, so I wouldn't post in the malware forum section

As an update, I had a few other issues with asio drivers in this install that I was running so I've decided to take the pansy way out and reformat. I'll post again if it recurs... with screenshot. Thanks for your time and effort.
