Fragmentation has nothing to do with high disk utilisation. Disks with almost nothing on it can be fragmented worse than disks which are filled. This is irrelevant anyways as any defrag utility will fix any serious issues.
The only remedy without buying new hardware is to do a fresh install of your OS. By the sounds of everything your OS is most likely trashed and loaded with junk. Reinstall Windows with a disk or throw on Ubuntu
