so as the title says, that's what happening to me rn and i tried every solution out there and still, nothing worked out for me. i even carried my pc to the repair shop and they reinstalled windows and stuff but the problem is still occuring, i even ran several tests on the hard drive just to make sure it's healthy and it is, here are my specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Nvidia GTX 1650 4GB
16 RAM
1 TB HDD Toshiba.
i know i don't have an SSD but still, i bought this pc like 2 months ago so what the hell? i was casually playing world of warcraft doing dungeons and all of the sudden spotify stopped working and same thing with discord then the game crashed and i this problem started occuring, the moment it goes up to 100, it stays there for like ~15-20 seconds and then it goes back to normal. it would be awesome to get an answer to this asap please because i'm going mad and it's not helpful at all, thanks alot.

Sounds pretty normal to me for a HDD based system. Operating Systems and Applications have been getting bigger and bigger yet the performance of hard drives have remained relatively unchanged for the past decade. It's just something you'll have to live with until you get an SSD.

This is pretty expected for running a system with a hard drive alone. Invest in an SSD, even a 120GB and having all your games on the HDD would work just fine.
