No it is not normal.
Usual suspect is antivirus, can you disable and see if it helps?

So disable my avast and then carry on playing?
This is with the game closed...

edit: Turning off avast didnt do anything, disk still at 100%

I wouldn't disable the antivirus.

I would reschedule the scans it does for a time when you wont be using the computer.

For example I have mine scheduled for 8pm when I am eating dinner.


An antivirus won't crash your computer with 100% disk usage.

It can crash the system in other ways like if it thinks an important system process is really a virus and stops it.


Another hard drive usage hog is windows doing updates.


You want to use the resource monitor, not task manager, to dig deep into what is actually causing the hard drive to max out.

100% disc use can be normal you should list the blue screen code.

100% disc use can be normal you should list the blue screen code.

Is there a way to find the blue screen code?
Also it seems to be with steam, would validating my steam files for a game cause 100% disc usage?

I use Bluescreenview from Nirsoft.
100% disk usage spikes or short bursts is normal, sustained 100 % is not and is in fact a very common issue with Windows 10.

Ok for some reason my disk has dropped down to 9/14% now, but guaranteed if i start up a game it'll shoot back up to 100%

And this is now my Resource manager.
