Title:

Laptop makes all HDD runs at 100%

Text:

All hard drives running at 100% usage for any program (mostly "system") on new laptop. Hard drives continue to run slowly after being put back in working laptop. Unless it's because of the bios it is a hardware problem not a software one.

-Bought a used laptop and noticed the hardrive was running at 100% in task manager. I got a new hard drive for it but it started running at 100% as well. I then I put in my working HDD from my other laptop and it too started running at 100% and continued running at 100% when I put it back into my good laptop. When trying to put the HDD back in the new laptop, the sata connector bent out of place. Could that be my problem and could it be solved with replacing the connector?
