Hi there,

I have been having a rather unusual problem, while playing 1080p videos I have on my hdd I'm getting a slight
problem with stuttering. When I check the Task Manager, strangely, there is no disk activity. There is some
expected slight activity elsewhere, but not the disk.

Why is this happening? What could be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

The slight activity is on other processes, up to 1MB across, the video player(PotPlayer) shows no disk activity while I'm playing videos.
The disk is healthy and about 34ºC according to Crystal Disk Info.
