I would like to specify that I am not a computer expert, I don't know much about computers. I built my current PC back in early 2015, for most of the time that I've had it there have been constant issues with stuttering, freezing, and loading.
I have an EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card, and an AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor. From what I've read online, I shouldn't have bottleneck problems. I've been trying to play Doom, the game generally runs fine, 60-80 FPS on medium settings, but the game drops down to 1 FPS every now and then, I also have problems with loading and music. Sometimes textures appear blurry and "undetailed", not sure how to describe it, and the music doesn't play. I have this problem on low, medium, and high; graphical settings to do not affect this "stuttering" (not sure if this is the proper term). I have had this happen in many games that I've played.
According to the MSI Burner in-game overlay, my CPU is generally running at around 50%, with my graphics card running at 99%. Everything runs fine, but at times the GPU drops down to around 50% usage, for a brief moment, before going back up to 99%. Based on my task manager, my CPU is always running below 100%, as well as my memory, but my disk is always running at 100%. I'm not sure how to explain what's happening here, the only theory i've come up with is that it may be my hard-drive that is responsible for my poor performance. I've used my current hard-drive for almost 8 years, it's the one part that was never upgraded from my old computer. I've noticed in a lot of my games I have constant loading problems, with textures and models not appearing properly, sometimes the game freezes, and I need to wait a few seconds to continue playing. In battlefield 4, for example, I may find myself running around waiting for the environments to load.
I am uncertain if the hard-drive is, in fact, the problem. If it is, I would like to replace it. I just need to make sure that this is the problem, as I do not want to spend money and have these issues continue. If it is not the hard-drive, I would like to know what may be causing these problems. Any help is appreciated.
