I have Aspire ATC-220-EB51. My problem is HDD (not an SSD) will run 100% with no reads no writes

g_wilson

Runs 100% as shown in Task Manager.  system event log contains numerous events with Event ID 129, which represent resets of the disk controller. This started happening a few weeks ago. 

Sample from event file:

I appreciate your suggestion. I must apologize for leaving this for so long but I did find something that has worked. I have waited to be certain that the following actually solved my problem.  No more 100% disc usage with no reads or writes - for about a week - no more Event ID 129 seen. I won't explain here but will simply point you to the link for it to be explained.

Thanks for this, I had the same issue as you, my event log was full of 

Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued

 

Turning of the PCI Express setting also solved it. It's pretty disgraceful that this was happening with my Aspire E5-551 laptop straight from the box - didn't anyone at Acer test this?!
