WIndows 10 Freezes on SSD

[Ali_Baba]

I recently reinstalled windows on a new PNY 120 GB SSD (as in like 1 day ago) and for the first few hours I didn't experience any interruptions. I formatted my old 1 TB WD Black hard drive and use that as just storage for all of my programs. After installing drivers (GPU, Chipset, LAN, etc) and downloading a bunch of games, I took the PC back to my mom's house. Once I got their, I used the PC for about 5-10 minutes and then it randomly freezes. I checked the CPU light thing on the case and it wasn't turning on, making me think that the problem is not the GPU. My rig is:
Mobo: MSI 990FXA
CPU: AMD FX 8370
RAM: PNY Anarchy 8GB Dual Channel 2133Mz
Storage: 1TB WD Black, 120 GB SSD, random 500GB laptop hard drive for extra storage
GPU: STRIX Radeon R7-370 4GB
WIFI: TP-Link something

P.S. I have already run Memory Management and there was no problems.
I don't know if this is relative but I ran some command off the internet to check if TRIM was enabled and right after I ran the command the computer froze. I don't know if this was purely coincidental or if it happened because of the command.

Can you show me the command you entered please?

I believe this is what I put:
fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify

For TRIM to work, both the operating system and the Solid State Drive must support the feature, and it must be enabled in the operating system. You never stated you activated this in the OS.

I suggest running the command again. "fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify 1" - The 1 disables TRIM.

Let me know if that works.

I turned off TRIM the other day. I left my PC on over night and so far nothing has frozen. I did some research and it seems that by disabling TRIM the performance of my SSD will be greatly diminished. Is there anyway to go around this, such as idk going from AHCI mode to IDE mode? I really don't know the difference so if someone could explain that to me I would greatly appreciate it. I am also going to reformat my SSD and switch to from MBR to GPT. I don't know how this is related but I put it in just cuz.

When you say "enable it in the operating system" do you mean just doing the thing in command prompt or is there somewhere I have to go in the setting or something and enable it?

AHCI and IDE are two modes in which a hard drive communicates with the rest of the computer system using a SATA storage controller. SATA hard drives can operate in a backward-compatible PATA/IDE mode, a standard AHCI mode or vendor-specific RAID. AHCI stands for Advanced Host Controller Interface and is a faster mode of operation compared to IDE. RAID mode also enables and makes use of AHCI.

AHCI provides a standard system that designers and developers can use to configure, detect, or program SATA/AHCI adapters. Note that even though AHCI taps into the more advanced features of SATA (e.g., hot swapping) for host systems, it is a separate standard from those set for SATA (Read more here: http://www.diffen.com/difference/AHCI_vs_IDE)

While the operating system should properly detect and enable TRIM automatically, sometimes this may not happen(hence the "You never stated you activated this in the OS" which makes me believe your rig doesn't support TRIM). FWIW, I have neve had an issue with my SSDs and they have prolonged their lifespan. Something on your rig is causing this - just keep it disabled. But I'm no Windows 10 expert, maybe someone else has another answer for you.

P.S; Regarding "switch from MBR to GPT", don't do it "just cuz", you can mess up your computer. Read up about it(https://www.howtogeek.com/193669/whats-the-difference-between-gpt-and-mbr-when-partitioning-a-drive/)

AHA! I SLOVED IT. I don't understand how or why, but this thing, TP-Link TL-WN823N, was causing my issues. Just wanted to let you guys know. I swapped it out for a new 5G card and everything works just fine. My PC was even freezing on my HDD.
