HD Light is active even when nothing is going on.
Tunr on my system and just leave it there w/ the desktop. Pretty much killed all exe except the few essential one like nVidia, avg etc. Even hough I got nothing running, the HD Led keep on flashing even as if it loading something.
I recently switched my Pwr LED wire to my HD connector; the original HD LED is barely any good. Since the switch, the brighter Pwr LED, now HD LED, is constantly active-flashing, strobing etc. So is that normal? |

If you go in the properties on your hard drive in My computer at the very bottom there is a check box for indexing.
Index creates a faster way to search your drive. |

If you search for files it may be slower.
