Hey all,
In my new PC build, I recently bought a Samsung 840 Evo (512GB) and it's amazing. I have my OS (Windows 8.1 64-bit) and games installed on it and it runs like a dream except for one thing;
I get these random lockups in Windows where nothing responds for a 30-50 seconds and then operates as normal. When it happens, I try to bring up Task Manager but it remains frozen. When I can, looking into Resource Monitor and the Performance tab, it says disk usage is at a constant 100% though no data seems to be moving. Resource Monitor doesn't tell me anything in terms of what is causing the disk usage, because it's frozen- it just shows a blue line that indicates queue timing. Event Viewer shows nothing either.
I don't have and special drivers or third party software for my SSD. It's installed as a normal drive. There seems to be no pattern as to when it happens either, but I have suspicion that it may have something to do with some sort of relationship between my HDD and SSD (some how)- even though my HDD isn't loading anything from it during that time.
I've searched other threads on the internet where people have had the exact same issue, except they've all had some sort of driver causing the issue.
Thanks!
