Rx580 problem

[AndyCobb]

My gigabyte rx580 came today, and when I booted up after installing it, the c: drive started running at 100%. This continued after installing the drivers, and still continues after multiple reboots. Any ideas?

will be windows indexing, check task manager

So how do I stop it?

Windows backup?

Check resource monitor and see what is causing the 100% usage

I've got 8Gb ram, and it's a 4Gb card, would it maybe be worth going to 16Gb ram?
I looked in the task manager, but couldn't see what was causing the disc to run so much

Can't see it being a memory issue.
Google how to use resource monitor as it's more detailed than task manager and is opened in different ways depending on your operating system

Thanks,

In the end I used a fresh install of win10, and haven't had a problem
