Hello, This is the first time I am posting about computer issues here. If there is any additional information I can provide please let me know.
I bought a Samsung 860 EVO SSD last week, and did a clean install of Windows 10 on it. When I start playing a video game it will Completely freeze my entire system after about 10-20 minutes, (the audio will loop creating a buzzing noise) and I have to hard shut down. Very rarely this will also happen when watching Youtube videos on full screen, but I think that only happened when I had something downloading. At this point I have tried everything I could think of. I changed the drive controller to AHCI, I've tried different SATA cords, and ports. I've tried messing with different power settings, I even tried messing with the power limit and clock on the GPU wondering if somehow the GPU wasn't getting enough power with the SSD now installed. I double checked to make sure the power cords going to the GPU weren't lose. When I go back to my old Hard Drive things work fine. It's slower of course, but I can play the same games with no Freezes. The Amount of time it takes to hit the Freeze depends of the game I'm playing. More graphically intense games it will happen sooner. The last thing I checked was the RAM I added more ram, which didn't help and then I tried changing the ram out, which did, for a time. When I changed the ram I was able to play for a few hours. (I ended up turning the game off on my own, so I don't know if the crash would have eventually come) When I turned my computer on the next morning however, it was back to the same issue. At this point The only thing I can think is that the MoBo is the problem, but I can't afford a new one, so I haven't tried that angle yet.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
