Paging file and GTA problems

So since the day I got my PC(Little over a year), I've had this problem with the paging file. The paging file would constantly make my disc at 100% usage all time. Making my PC insanely slow. I found out how to fix this problem, which is disabling the paging file. But, a month ago I bought GTA 5 and heres are where I got a big problem. When I play GTA 5, at random I get a Low memory warning, makes GTA crash and I have to restart my PC cause it black screens.
Now I went and enabled the paging file for a few hours and played GTA with absolute no problems(was very laggy), but my disc usage was always at 100%. I know that if I left my paging file on it would destroy my HDD over time. I do understand that this is a memory leak and is possible that this is purely GTA. But I've also seen it happen with Minecraft and Euro Truck Sim 2 in the past. Not sure if it was the same thing as I do not have these games anymore.
I loaded various amounts to the paging file each time I turned it on (8GB-20GB)

Set the page file to normal then try doing a Clean Boot to see what if the constant disk activity to occurs. If not then follow the instructions to isolate the cause.

I have done this and the problem still persists even when in a clean boot. But I have found something interesting whilst looking at my task manager for a few minutes. It seems to switch between different Windows processes. Where as before when I originally disabled the paging file in the first place, the 100% usage was always from Service Host: Network Service (Network Restricted).
And after a few minutes it seems to stop for an hour only to start back up.
