So for the past few months I've been having horrible lag spikes while playing any game on my relatively new pc (built august 2018), sometimes it would freeze for a few seconds then continue on, Sometimes it would hard lock and sometimes it would bluescreen.
I've been working to figure out what is causing this and I've found what has been causing it but I don't exactly know WHY its doing this,
My ssd AND hdd (Depending on where the game is located) pin themselves at 100% usage as these freezes happen.
Ive done all of the following to no avail (some of them were before I knew it was the ssd/hdd):
-Disabled all antivirus
-Disabled windows search and superfetch
-Updated literally all of my drivers
-Disabled all overclocks (only gpu)
-Reseated ram
-Made sure thermals were fine
-Ran CrystalDiskInfo, Hard disk Sentinel and Western Digital's bad drive checker (Hard drive manufacturer) all came back clear and clean
-Ran chkdsk /f /r and /x came back clear
And probably a ton of other stuff I cant think of right now
The ONLY thing I've been able to get back is 45k+ errors in the past 24 hours (all with the description of "The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR1, has a bad block.") coming from my hard drive through EventViewer but I have been told that eventviewer can be unreliable, especially considering I ran CrystalDiskInfo, Hard disk Sentinel and Western Digital's bad drive checker and they all came up clean
Im at a complete loss of what to do now, so im posting this on every forum I can think of to hopefully get some help
