Hi I have recently purchased a new SSD for games but after installing and setting it up games randomly freeze for like half a second, I looked at task manager and my old HDD that was used for games also was spiking and right when that happened the GPU performance dropped, tried playing games on the HDD everything runs fine no issue. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
