my ssd usage keeps spiking to 100 percent quite randomly and it causes the screen to freeze. it happens every 10 to 15 seconds as long as im doing an activity or moving around my cursor etc. i have reinstalled windows , my disc health is at 100 percent, i have done a clean boot , it happens in safe mode too , all my drivers are updated , and i have run the SFC / scannow multiple times . i cannot find a solution and i am really frustrated . i dont have the money to change any parts either. would really appreciate some help.

Hi Ali,
My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll try to help you.
What is the exact SSD model? Please show its SMART from manufacturer's tool.
Please run Task manager, go to Performance tab, select Disk C: and show screenshot during freeze.
