[SOLVED] Windows 10 freezes after a new SSD

[Mataresian]

Some months ago I upgraded my 128GB SAMSUNG SM961 M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3100MB/R, 700MB/W) to a Samsung 960 EVO 500GB my Windows 10 randomly starts freezing in somewhat demanding games, but also strangely enough when I leave my laptop attended for too long. I have tried the multiple stuff as described below

• Reinstalled Windows 10 entirely
• Change battery settings
• Change Virtual Memory
• Update SSD Firmware (was already the latest)
• SSD temperature seems in order

I could still update the BIOS but I am not really at home with that and reluctant to do that considering the risks. Should I just put in my old SSD? If so I am really curious to what the reaosn might be causing this

Check your temperatures laptops are notorious for overheating

Funny how I was litterally cleaning my laptop when you sent in that message, it definitely seems to be that there was way too much dust at the CPU cooler part. And 2 hours later I can confirm that I haven't had a crash yet, thanks for the suggestion,
