Hello,
Recently I upgraded from an old intel cpu to a new AMD 5600x and have been having some issues.
During gameplay, I will have spikes in usage on my OS drive and occasionally my game drive usage causing audio turning robotic and freezes. Worst case, after an hour or more of gameplay the game will completely freeze and drive usage for my OS and game drive will spike to 100% and keep me from alt tabbing or alt-f4ing. I can see programs functioning on my second monitor losing internet but my inputs do nothing, I have to hard reset the PC. Usually, it takes a couple boots for me to see the windows splash screen and boot into my OS. The only brand new hardware is a new motherboard , CPU and case everything else is several years old.
I read around online and tried several fixes for 100% disk usage causing freezing. Such as: Running chkdsk, changing sata cables and where they're plugged in, disabling telemetry and testing my ram.
The only two possible causes I have is:
I have a new PSU coming in the mail as 550w is pretty close to the money on power consumption and I want to have all the power plugins for my cpu; along with new ram.
BIOS came to me with 1.50 installed on it, so I didn't have to flash it to install my new CPU.
I've also been starting to record system performance with Windows Performance Recorder and can provide it when asked.
Specs:
CPU: AMD 5600x
Mobo: ASROCK B550m Steel legend BIOS 1.50
Ram: HyperX Fury @2133 (8GB x 2)
GPU: RTX 2070 Super
PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 550w
OS SSD: Adata SP550 500GB
Game SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB
DXDIAG: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PtNqYWmKFNm6qRyg9ZkxUJp7sb21G6-U/view?usp=sharing
EDIT: Fixed my issue via flashing my bios to 1.52 and reinstalling windows on a different SSD

The only two possible causes I have is:
- When doing a fresh install of windows, it wouldn't install on my main OS drive but after changing which usb slot my usb drive was plugged into it worked.
- On my motherboard for CPU power there's an 8pin power plug and a separate 4pin power plug. I only have power running to the 8pin as I lost my spare CPU power cables for my current PSU. During these freezes I monitored my power draw with HWmonitor and couldn't see any significant power draw leading to these freezes.
