Everything was fine until my system started to lag. I noticed 100% disk usage even when left idle for 15-30 minutes.

So I wiped my drive clean and fresh installed Win 8.1. Everything runs fine as long as I keep my system running. After a restart though, again the same problem of 100% disk usage. (I have checked this pattern after formatting 4-5 times)

(I am not connected to Internet so it's not about Windows updates)

Have you run any diagnostic testing on the hard drive? Most diagnostic and hardware monitoting programs including AIDA64, Speccy, HWinfo, and even SpeedFan can read HDD SMART info.
