Hello Tek, my Memory and Disk keep running at 100% It will happen randomly. It says its system and compressed memory. When I built my PC it ran fine and I had windows 8.1 no problem at all. Its happened to many time sense I've been on windows 10(over 50 times), and I'm about to throw the PC out my window. I googled it and its a common problem, if anyone knows why this keeps happening you'll save me from running into to Walmart naked and screaming windows 10 sucks!

See if you can spot any program that is using a lot of RAM. In case RAM truly runs out then the system will try to use disk space for swap and performance will drop like a rock.
Is the WD Green the system drive too? It would be especially sensitive to disk loads as it's primarily made for storage. Get an SSD for the system drive if you don't already have one.
I was think that I should get an ssd, and no its just "System and Compressed Memory" that use's all of of it. all I keep open is steam and I've never had a problem with it.
I looked around a bit and found several mentions of a bug related to a setting in Windows 10. Have a look and see if the option "show me tips about Windows" is on, and try turning it off if it is.
its off, everyone online said that the latest windows update made the system and memory run high. Just bought a Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" 1TB I think the hard drive is the problem ill let you know if it helps.
Windows 10 will not give you accurate readouts for disk usage. It will say 100% when your hard drive is transferring only 5-10 MB/s. This is just a false reading and doesn't indicate a problem. If your SSD was reading/writing at full speed all the time it should be well over 100 MB/s.
There was a bug in WIN7 not too long ago that had a memory leak in Windows Update. isolate which program / process is using the memory. If it is a system process, google the issue with that specific process name and you'll probably find an answer.
When you get the ssd I would recommend doing a fresh install onto it instead of directly copying your install from the hard drive to the ssd. It may just be a weird thing on that install, so just to eliminate that possibility I suggest the clean install.
