Windows 8 System.exe writes to HDD like crazy
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have checked Application event logs and found that every second about 20 entries for MSSQL Server were recorded. Removed the server and all its components and the problem is gone... Thanks everyone for tips!
I have a problem with Windows 8: System.exe starts accessing the hard drive and writing/reading like crazy for like 5-10minutes, it does it every 5 minutes and at the time the computer lags like crazy, even mouse and keyboard are unusable...
Is there any way to either get rid of this crazy reading/writing? What can I check or do to figure out what is causing it? It is fairly recent problem, started few days ago. I can't think of anything unusual (software or driver updates) done at that time...
In Task Manager I can see SSD activity at 100%, in Resource Monitor I can see System.exe writing/reading sometimes 40-50 files at a time...
Below I attach some screen shots:

Any help appreciated, this thing drives me nuts...

Its hard to figure out what your actual question is besides "Help!" which isn't a good question. Furthermore I have numerious qustions about the system configuration which you left out. I would try using a system restore point, there is likely new software you installed, causing the SOFTWARE.LOG file being written to. I would look into how to disable the log file, because, you are writting a good amount of data every second.

Maybe it backup the registry. See the Task Scheduler or set of backup software.

I experienced very similar problems to this when I first started using an SSD on . I followed an excellent guide on the overclock.net forum that managed to sort this issue out for me.
There are two versions of the guide one for Windows 7 and the other for Windows 8
