Win10 64. Defrag runs constantly, grinding away at my hard drives for no reason. The both drives are 0% fragmented, except for system reserved files which are 40% fragmented and defrag will not touch them. The Defrag is OFF, how do I stop the system running defrag every time the PC is idle for more than 60 seconds?? How do I defrage the system files which need defragging?

I'm referring to how your computer is crashing and has to be restarted, usually multiple times a day. It's either you or someone is force restarting by switching off the power or pressing the reset button, or the power supply is faulty.

    cheers. I will go for a Corsair I reckon, they have been around for a fair while. I reckon a straight swap to the same 850w should be enough, but 1000/1050w might give it an easier life.

    Could be the PSU. The sticker on the case is more biege now, and it used to be white, probably a sign of over heating. Who makes decent PSU? coolermaster, asus or corsair still good?

    Is there a method for checking PSU's?

    I guess with a multimeter though exactly how I'm not sure. Swapping in a known good and adequately powerful PSU would work, though not practical if you don't already have one.
