What is your machine ? Most likely the problem is machine has small amount of RAM and slow HDD that why apps have to swap/page out and HDD spins to dead itself.
I don't know your machine BUT
1. Adding more RAM to reduce paging/swapping process,
2. Replace slow HDD with a faster drive such as SSD,
You can upgrade RAM first then upgrade HDD later or you can do BOTH at the same time.
Regards.
