Will getting more RAM for my computer solve issues for %100 Disk (most of the time?)?

So, my computer has been undergoing alot of stress lately. I haven't been doing much with it but ever since I got it about 4 months ago the computer has had disk problems. My disk seem to like going up to %100 full quite a bit and I was looking for a few solutions. Number one is virus checks.. well after scanning with Mcafee and Malwarebytes It appears as though I do not have any malware or viruses. good! that problem solved! Second reason for getting %100 disk is just windows 8.1 along with superfetch. I disabled superfetch however I still have problems with my disk reaching up around %100 disk full all the time. Apparently it is a common problem for users who use windows 8.1 I am going to be getting some new ram cards later this year (upgrading from 8 gigs to 16) and I was wondering if the extra ram would help the disk be less than %100 most of the time. So will getting better RAM fix the issues I am having?

If I can fix this problem by getting more ram then I would like to know! I will be upgrading my Pc's ram anyways but I'm just wondering if I can fix this problem by getting it.

If anyone knows of any ways to fix %100 disk usage could you post 'em here as well? Thanks!

Specs: intel core i5 3.2 ghz

Nividia geforce 650 Graphics (I forget the correct code)

8 Gb of Ram.

Most of the time the thing that is taking up all of the disk is "Local service Host"

    are you getting 100% disk which would be unusual as windows puts up warning messages LONG before 100% or are you running task manager and seeing the cpu at 100% which means you have a rogue process, which should be disabled

    Have you checked what programs are using up your disk the most?

    If something doesn't seem quite right, it might be useful to google that program and the problem and see what comes up.
