Every time I startup my computer and open the task manager, the disk usage will be at 100% and that slows my computer by a lot. Then after 10 minutes or so, it will drop to 0 to 10%. It only happens when I start my computer and usually do...

Run OS off flashdrive?

$

I'm reading a lot about running an OS off a flashdrive and needing fast speeds. Do modern flashdrives use TRIM, like SSDs, to improve longevity? Any way you could run 8 off a flashdrive that uses a ramdisk so less writes? I'm thinking I can run 8 in a VM under some Linux flavor. Also, I think if I get a drive w/ at least 100 MB/s read and write I'll be alright. Thanks, Madmordigan

I will have to restart my computer 2 or 3 times during the install because my memory usage will slowly climb up during the install until it...

Earlier this afternoon I switched my power settings to power saver as my laptop was dieing. I shut it down like this. I hooked it back up to power and switched back to high performance power setting. However, while playing games the performance is horrible. I even switched back to power saver while playing and it made no difference. Any ideas?
