I am facing a problem. My HDD randomly goes upto 100 %. Especially when I'm Gaming. When HDD goes 100 the game just freezes for a sec or two. This happens a lot on ARMA III. I know it's very demanding game but when L4D2 lags its just crazy. Neither My CPU (I3-3210 @ 3.2 GHz), neither my RAM ( DDR3 4 Gb) are being used more than 75 %

OS: Windows 8.1

Depending on your HD manufacturer, grab their utility from their website to scan for bad sectors/to verify the HD is still in good condition.

I have a same exact problem when playing games. I bought a new external toshiba canvio, installed win7 64bit to it, and games freeze for a sec or two. I think the problems are in partitions, but idk how to fix them
