In some game (Squad, Fallout 4) I seems that the game use very heavly my HDD:
i got 60 FPS but as soon as i move a bit, the game get freeze en my HDD is at 100%.
In the ressource manager, it's the part "System and compresseed memory" that goes in the red.
Any idea of the problem and/orway to fix this?
GPU: GeForce GTX 960
CPU: i7 3.5GHz
6Go RAM
Win10
(All driver are up to date)

Welcome to the community, Archimonde31!

I'd recommend you to try troubleshooting the issue by disabling some Windows Services first. Here's what you need to do:
press Windows+R
Write services.msc
Disable
1-Super fetch
2-Windows Search
3-Background Intelligent Transfer Service

If that doesn't improve the HDD usage, then you should consider reinstalling those games.
I'd strongly recommend you to test the hard drive using its manufacturer's diagnostic tool to determine the health and SMART status.

Keep me posted with the results. Good luck!
