I recently bought and installed a new 16gb optane drive to accelerate the 4tb HDD I got (Optane was free w/ said HDD) and since installing it, after about 40 minutes - 1 hour my PC just becomes entirely unresponsive to any input.
The mouse cursor moves, and my voice activation on discord still transmits and I can still hear people in the call, however I cannot click anything, nothing comes up as "not responding", no keyboard inputs do anything and I'm at a loss. I've looked for solutions of a similar nature but I cant find anything similar to my scenario (being that the only system changes being the preparation and installation of an optane drive). So hell, for all I know that might not even be the issue, but it's all I can think of it being.
I plan to contact intel about the issue, however I thought I'd ask here first to save being bounced around for a week in customer support. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
