Hello! hope you are doing well, because I'm certaintly not...

This past week I have been running under some "strange" issues with my computer:

Where:
I can be doing anything and some random app get frozen and then everything just stops working (I never get a BSOD it just freezes in there)

First I got told that it was a faulty memory stick (kingston 8gb each, I have 3) and that I needed to change them all but I have my doubts-

Since this issues usually happenned when I did a file transfer (2+ gb) from my SSD to a HDD I thought that it was my SSD, I took it to the retailer, and sent to the manufacturer to check it, the manufacturer said that it was fine ... so I got it back and worked as usual until it started to happen again...

Then I tried by removing one of the ran sticks (roked with 2) and I stilll got this weird freeze, turn it off and switch one of the ram sticks and it still happened.

When I saw that (as the pc started to freeze over) the SSD was not showing any signals of activity (nothing was being read)

So I turned my attention on the probablity that one of my SATA slots could be broken... or something and I moved all my drives to a different slot... and no dicem I keep getting this problem.

That leaves me without any idea of what could be happening.

Additionally, every time my pc is frozen, the BIOS does not detect the SSD, sometimes it detects the SSD until I unplug it or I restart it.

I believe that the issue is my MoBo at this point.

Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening?

I took a photo of the interior of my pc (sorry for the dust in there)

Memory malfunctions can cause freezes. You should try running a single kit of memory. I'm guessing that would be the red colored memory and remove the black colored one.

The four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as
following:
Channel A: DDR3_2, DDR3_4
Channel B: DDR3_1, DDR3_3
 


but does that explain why the BIOS does not detect the SSD after a system crash?
