Hello -
Problem: I replaced my old HD (10 years old) with an hdd . The reason I replaced it, despite age, was due to my computer dead freezing (began a year ago). The new HDD has came with some issues. The new issues:
1) Drop in FPS with games. Before HD --> HDD my FPS sat at 165 range, but now it is lowered to about 100 range.
2) Load stutter: Best term I can think of, where during a game, if a lot of activity happens the game will freeze for a second and FPS will drop to the 40s and recover slowly.
3) The dead freezing has happened once since the HD.
Tried Solutions:
1) I updated GPU drivers & the Nvidia sweet to 'optimize' system
2) Checked/updated HDD drivers.
3) Unplugged and secured the cables attaching the HDD to the MOBO for safe measure.
PC Stats:
MOBO: MSI A320M PRO-VH PLUS
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200g with Radeon
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
RAM: 16 GB installed
