Sometimes my laptop freezes with a ''dırrr'' (buzzing) sound,reason? (more info in discussion)
So this happens more in old games or the games that uses my Intel HD gpu (there is AMD and Intel gpu in my laptop,AMD works in new games meanwhile Intel works on desktop and old games) so the weird thing is when I run a game this doesn't happen.
-There is some rust in laptop but if this was the reason than it would happen also in games
-Or my Intel is corrupt.

What is the reason?

Disk usage is %100 all time,is it bad?
Title,says it. CPU usage is %3 now,goes up to %15 on a game (like Sleeping Dogs,Fallout 4 -on other acc- etc.) Memory is %45,goes up to %90 when on games (4 GB RAM) but why disk?

Because you dont have enough RAM so the Pagefile has to be used more which is on the HDD

Upgrade to 8GB and you wont have that problem

Put simply, your mere 4GB of RAM is whats causing it, only way to fix it is by upgrading your RAM to 8GB.

I didn't said memory usage,I said disk usage. or is it related to RAM?

Oh readed wrongly,sorry.

This kind of freezing is usually caused by unstable cpu or RAM overclock.
Since it's a laptop, I doubt overclocking has been done, so the parts themselves are unstable at stock settings. Thus, most likely faulty.

Which parts actually,I couldn't get it and yes this is not overclocked.

As I said: usually caused by cpu or RAM.

you dont have enough ram for the games you are trying to run most likely causing the pc to freeze because the pc runs out of ram

another possibility is that the cpu fan is full of dust and is overheating install a program like HWmonitor and make sure your temps arent very high (90c+)

If system runs out of RAM, it starts using pagefile from HDD and just run bad. It won't crash.
If system overheats, it will throttle, not crash.

if their isnt enough ram to store critical game data and the operating system the system will crash (programs can only use so much virtual memory and not all data can be stored in virtual ram) if the pc is overheating an extreme amount the pc can freeze like that because throttling isnt enough at times

Again, they won't. Pagefile is really big by default and it will be hard to take it to it's limits without noticeable effect on the performance.

And throttling can go as low as idling speeds, it's simply impossible for cpu to overheat so badly that even that isn't enough. And that would mean it overheats even when idle.

i dont agree with you but whatever if those arent the issue what do you think it is?

I said it in the earlier posts of mine: unstable cpu or RAM.
Since no overclocking is done, it means one of them is faulty. I would steer towards RAM.

OP also talked something about rust. It could be some contacts have rust in them and cannot transfer voltage properly. Thus freezing.

yes he should test his ram for issues (I recommend memtest86 just dont bother with the hammer tests even with perfectly stable ram the hammer test can show errors)

but honestly if his laptop is old enough to have visable rust his hardware is too old for modern games

(ive seen chrome use more than 5 gigs alone 4 gigs isnt enough anymore even 8 gigs is considered lacking)

another issue is lack of vram for games his laptop might be limited to 512megs vram

Again PC freezes when NOT RUNNING A GAME,thank you.

then its hardware failure
