100% HDD Usage randomly

Hello,

I have a laptop that is brand new, (bought 2 days ago) and I am experiencing problems with lagging.

Basically there is a delayed response with the keyboard at times, as well as scrolling pages. This is across all programs, including in games. I do not think it is a hardware issue, due to the fact that in games I can experience this delay, but the framerate remains at 60FPS. However, most times it does this, it is just after booting up, but can during random times a well. When it does it, the hard disk drive is at 100% usage, even though there is nothing else running. Any help would be much appreciated.

Specs : i5 3230m
AMD radeon 8750m
8GB Ram
1TB 5400 RPM HDD.
Windows 8.1 (Updated from 8, which came with the laptop.)

Thanks.
