I can't play games like Forza Horizon 3 or Doom because my Hard Drive usage is at 100% when I'm playing and then for example on Forza I only have 1-2 fps.
Doom is just slowing down. The Crew is slowing to 30 fps and I know that can get around 60-50 fps.
When I'm not playing Disk Usage is around 5-10%.
My specs:
- MSI GTX 950
- i5 4460
- Asus H97-E
- WD 1TB

Can someone help me?
Thank you.

Boot it up see if it works better. If your drive is really bad off (looks like it is) it may not have helped. for kicks you might give it a bit to cool down, check disks heat your drive up quite a bit.
 


I turned on my PC and now I have 100% at start 🙁
