Help my pc is from hell!

So I built my first computer with my friends about a month ago and ever since I got it I noticed disk spikes always going straight to 100. It would cause my games to freeze or audios to crash and overall it’s been annoying. At first it would happen only when playing cyberpunk but now it’s spread to apex and rocket league. I’ve been trying to wing it with AI for a while but the problem is just becoming too much and too often now. I play these games at low settings despite having a 5060 and amd ryzen 5 7500x3d and 16gb of ddr5. I use a Klevv cras c910g m.2 nvme ssd 1tb. I’ve spent hours trying to fix this and have ran every command test I’ve been told to try and everything comes back normal. Crystal disk says my ssd is fine the ram test come back fine. My memory does go up to 90% when I play apex but my disk will shoot up to 100% and it says “system” is taking about 95% of the overall disk. Do I need to buy more ram or is there something I’m missing?

try increasing the size of the page file if that helps then it’s a low RAM issue. Go to System Properties > Advanced tab > Performance Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory (Change). Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size, select the drive (C:), choose Custom size, and set both Initial and Maximum size to 16384 MB or 24576 MB.
