Hi all. I recently posted a query on here that was a simple problem of me having my wires crossed, hoping this is just as simple!
I have recently installed a new SSD, Samsung EVO 870 in my PC. The PC itself is running smoothly, but when I launch games (which are located mainly on my WD Hard Drive) they are very, very choppy, almost as if the GPU is struggling. I never have had this problem previously, and have run most of my games from the HDD previously. Games in the new SSD also struggle.
I have 1 other SanDisk SSD, this Samsung EVO SSD and a WD Hard drive.
I have even unplugged the new SSD and still the games are choppy. I figure some kind of setting has been reset but I can't figure what. I've checked power management, all on high performance. I've reduced settings in the games.
I have checked temperatures, nothing is wrong. No abnormal disk usage that I can see. I have updated my graphics drivers.
I have tried to swap SATA and Power Cables inside the PC, and I've checked if Ive knocked anything out of place or loose, I can't see that I have.
My specs
Windows 10
16GB RAM
Intel i7 6700 CPU
NVidia GeForce 960
Samsung Evo 870 SSD
SanDisk SDSSDA120G SSD
WDC WD10EZEX 00WN4A0 Hardrive
500W power supply
Any ideas what might be causing this?
