100% disk usage, zero throughput. Games and system freeze entirely.

As stated in the title, my C drive can sometimes go to 100% usage randomly (no throughput). This results in system freezes, and I have to tear the plug out of the wall in order to shut it down.

When I pull the system out of sleep mode, my 1TB WD blue goes to 100% usage with no throughput. Same story. I have to tear the plug out of the wall (hard enough at this point that I've destroyed the ground pin on the plug).

When gaming, my SSD will randomly go to 100% usage with no throughput. Again, freezes, but it does stop after a while. This happens in any game and I hate it so much.

This happened after switching my processor and motherboard from i3 6100 to a r3 1200 (MSI gaming pro carbon B350).
