Hi guys

Looking for some advice

Lately some of my games have been failing to load textures
It started with Fallout 4 but i have mods installrd so out it fown to that, but now GTA V is also doing it then last night i downloaded Need For Speed and while racing the roads where not loafing and i fell off the road on a few occasions, even the cut scenes where pausing as though it was buffering

Mt rig isnt the greatest but should handle these games at 1080p pretty easily on mostly high settings
4690k
Gtx 970
Z97 gaming 5 mobo
2 x 4Gb ddr 3
WD 1Tb 7200rpm

Could my hard drive be on its way out, the full rig is only about 2 years old and i havent actually played it alot in that time due to work etc

This sounds like an issue with your hard drive like you mentioned. IF you have another HDD, you should try using that first.
Lets not eliminate GPU as a probable cause right now. Are your drivers up to date? Can you check when this problem began, was there any drivers install before it?

I thought GPU at first too, it would explain the textures but would that explain the pausing in the cutscenes, that is why i thought HDD, maybe it is having trouble loading things?
All the games are legit copies purchased either on a disc, or downloaded through steam or origin
