Something rang bells with Blizzards battle.net so Googled battle.net 100% disk usage, there are a few complaints, no fix that I can see on a quick look that works though.
Please fix this 100% disk problem, I've tried -everything-

We're trying to hit a moving target here. The clean install screenshot in #22 would have been the one to resolve as that's pure Windows. After that it's games related as the OP immediately additionally installed games software which means I can't now make out what's happening. Maybe someone else can help.
Good luck!

@prikker,
SMART parameters are sometimes rough to interpret. But at least it gives us decimal values and throws the red lines for you to monitor :)
To get a confirmation of severity (likely none if your drive seems ok), I suggest you post a screen shot and ask Kyle for advice here:

Surprisingly after everything has been running for a day after the re-install of a fresh copy... the windows system seems to be running fine. Games, however, still seem to have these random massive lags where the disk rockets to 100% and I hear the same sound over and over and over, until it subsides.
Also, while my friend was looking at it, we noticed this:

Assuming Crystal Disk Info is correct, Immediate backup needed, that's a critical warning, and could well be the cause of the 100% disk usage due to the drive repeatingly trying and failing to reallocate sectors, more than likely to fail at some point.

Well I replaced the HDD and everything is working fine. It hit 100% a few times mid installing a lot of stuff (see below), but the system is CONSIDERABLY faster and more responsive. No freezing/lagging/wtfing... You guys, and a friend, said it was a failing harddrive and it seems as if it was.
Thanks everyone!
