SSD Usage Spikes to 100% When using GPU

Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6 GHZ Quad-Core Processor

Memory: 16GB Ram

DISK: PNY CS900GB SSD

GPU: Radeon RX 580 Series

Motherboard: ASRock B450M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard

PSU: Corsair RM (2019) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Windows Version: 21H2 (OS Build 19044. 1466)

Situation:

Anytime I attempt to play games, record my screen using recording software, use wallpaper engine, etc. My computer will run like normal for 3-4 minutes before crashing. During the crash my SSD spikes to 100% usage, and my GPU and CPU drops to 1-2% usage. I have to reboot my computer using my case's power button. My computer won't detect my SSD the first time I boot it up, but it will subsequent tries. This problem prevents me from enjoying my computer use.

Some software that can cause my computer to crash:

League of Legends

Valorant

OBS Studio

Aim Lab

Wallpaper Engine

But regardless of graphic intensity, my pc will crash

Solutions I've tried:

-Restarting system

-Update Windows

-Reinstall Windows

-Update decice drivers

-Checking for Malware

-Disable Windows Search

-Stopping Superfetch

-Changing Energy Options from balanced to High Performance

-Temporarily turning off Antivirus

-Resetting Virtual Memory

-Changing page file size

-Running a disk check

-Running a system file checker

-Replacing SATA cable

-Replacing SSD

-Replacing PSU

-Replacing CMOS Battery

-Added more ram

-Running Using Each stick of Ram Individually

-Running swapping ram sticks

-Checked My SSD health using CrystalDiskInfo

-Disabled "Show me tips about Windows" in Start, Settings, System, Notifications & Actions

-Attempted running programs using external hard drive

-Disable suggested apps in start menu

-Ran chkdsk.exe /f /r using CMD as Admin

-Disabled any Xbox services in Services

-Wiping SSD

-Used Open Resource Monitor and sorted by total B/sec

-Used Task manager to check read/write processes

-Putting Graphic Settings to Low

-Checked for overheating

-Ran Windows Memory Diagnostics - No problems found

-Run the software with all processes other than system processes teriminated

I am desperate and willing to pay $ to the person who is able to find the solution to fix this.
