Gets Stuck at 100% disk usage randomly with SSD and HDD

[abhirup73]

Hi, i have the Hp Pavillion Gaming Laptop 15-ec010ax. It started happening recently, there is a process in task manager called "system" or ntoskrnl.exe which randomly takes up 100% of HDD and then everything gets stuck. I either need to force shutdown or wait a long time for it to stop taking up disk space. I have run the 'Long disk test' from the HP support app and the results showed HDD is perfect. So what could be the cause of this issue?

Specs: 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 3200, Nvidia GTX 1650.
