Hey there, I've recently begun having severe problems with my relatively new PC (<1 year old). It has been working fine until about a week ago when it began freezing up while playing games, forcing a hard restart. I noticed right before this happens my single internal SSD will show 100% utilization for a couple minutes (with 0 or close to 0 read/write happening) causing the PC to begin to slow down until it becomes completely unresponsive.
I tried to then copy the game from the internal SSD to an external SSD (around 50GB of data). The file copying began, but after just a couple GB were copied, I noticed the transfer rate dropped to 0. I checked the SSD utilization and it was once again at 100%. At which point the PC froze and I had to do another hard reset.
I ran a chkdsk which came back fine. I'm not sure what else to do and don't know if this is a SSD problem or a motherboard problem or a Windows 10 problem or a CPU problem. It feels that anytime the internal SSD begins to have heavy utilization it then basically freezes. However just browsing the web everything seems fine.
I ran a couple tests using HD Tune and got some strange results. Take a look and let me know if anyone has any thoughts. Cheers
