So before I assume this is a hardware problem, I would like to ask the community if anyone else had this problem and successfully solved it without purchasing new equipment.

Now my problem is that my hard drive isn't reading/writing or responding anything. This causes task manager to show spikes and causes the hard drive to run at a 100%. As shown below:

When this happens my computer basically freezes. Re installing windows is only a temporary solution. Usually after a month the problem will re appear. If it isn't a hardware problem, what would be a solution to fix this. As what I researched, this almost seems common, but none of their solutions worked for me. Any suggestions or leads would be greatly appreciated!
