For an unexplained reason, my HDD or SSD tends to reach 100% during certain games (like Tarkov or Overwatch) and then causes the game to freeze. After some time, the storage response slows dramatically to 20,000ms before the game becomes playable again for a short while before restarting. I've attempted Windows reinstalls, swapped HDD/SSD parts, and tested on both SATA controllers on my motherboard. I'm running out of options and just need help getting the games working.
