So back in July I had installed an SSD on my 5 year old ASUS ROG G70jm. I begun to notice that once I had gotten everything installed and download the right drivers things would be good. But I noticed at times that the cpu system process will go up to 15-20 percent at random times and upon investing I found out that ntoskrnl.exe was the culprit. I thought it was a bad driver at first so I had downloaded a driver for my internal WiFi adapter and for awhile that seemed to have fixed it but then it would show up for once a week if not more. So I then thought it could be maybe my SSD needed a firmware update but that would mean using crucial storage executive and I don't wan't to use that buggy software. So what can I do to stop this from happening?
PS. I still use my older 7200RPM WD black HD as storage inside my laptop, it still has windows 8.1 installed on it. Could that be it?
