disk vs driver

For about 2 weeks I have this weird problem :

My pc will only display 10-12 fps after I close any game for some reason, but recently I observed that my hdd is at 100% (only until I restart the pc,after that works normally) and in amd software my gpu is used only 1-5% with spikes up to 88% but just for a second (this happening when the problem occours,normally is at 100% because I have relive on all the time).

My question is :

Can a hdd that is 100% affect the way my gpu driver works ? (the OS is not installed on this hdd)

(sorry if my english is bad)

a 100% full system drive causes everything to run slow .. either clean up a bunch of stuff .. uninstall a bunch of stuff .. or get a bigger or a secondary drive to install your games on or move your personal folders on to

Generally , you don't want to go over 80% full of your drives capacity. There are a lot of temp files created and what not .. as well as your Pagefile that your system will use in the event it runs out of physical memory .. ie .. you have 16GB of RAM installed and the game, program, whatever you are running wants/needs more than that ..then your OS will utilize your systems Pagefile that resides on your drives to compensate .. your system drives are of course waaaaay slower to access than your systems RAM .. and being that your drive is full . .then it has to do a bunch of shuffling around on top of accessing a slower medium to get what it needs to get done

...a big "ish" on my explanation of Pagefile stuff as I am no expert, But hey! ...that's what Google is for! .. or Bing! .. or Duck Duck Go ... or Yahoo! .. or ...
