Hello, My problem is that when I am playing a game such as GTA V I stutter, My disk goes right up to 100 and doesnt come down for a while after closing it. Then I play Rust same thing, disk is at 100. ARK Survival same thing. Mostly games that have good quality graphics. Which is why I upgraded my GPU. I had a GTX 960 mini 2gb vram. I had just upgraded to a GTX 1070 8gigs of VRAM.
my specs are as follows


Processor i7-4790 3.60 ghz
RAM 8GB
64-bit OS
GTX 1070 8gb vram
HDD 1 terabyte.
PSU 750W
 
Solution
This is very common for hdd. It will run at 100% a lot of the time as it will be the bottleneck of your system. Getting an ssd will fix the issue.
