I have a problem that whenever I start playing Call of Duty Advanced Warfare on my PC, it gets really laggy. When I open the task manager, I find that the disk usage is at a 100%, mainly used by the system "ntoskrnl". This only happens with AW. As soon as I exit the game, the disk usage drops down to 1-2%
I don't have an antivirus. I disabled super fetch and Windows search services and I had no luck. I defragmented my disk and performed a disk check with no problems. I played BF4, BF3, Crysis 3, and Farcry 3, all on high settings, with no problems.

1I bet it's the high quality textures of CoD:AW that's causing the high disk usage. Try reducing the texture quality and see whether performance improves. Also, a little info about your computer would be nice. You can't expect a game like CoD:AW to work well on an entry-level or even mid-range gaming system without a bit of tweaking. – Vinayak – 2014-12-05T21:32:35.813

You might have insufficient VRAM so the game needs to access your hard disk frequently to alternate between the textures. If you are interested in figuring out the exact issue then try following these instructions
