I specifically remember cloning, not copying my ssd, and i dont have the disk/product key for my version of windows anymore.

okay wow way to be rude. im not a genius, and had no idea that cloning an SSD would cause these issues. and since you seem to have so much knowledge, why dont you tell me exactly why my OS is acting up like this?

After getting sick of only having 128 GB of storage on my SSD, (Windows OS, files, a few games) i decided to buy a 240 GB SSD on cyber monday. i got it in the mail, and attached it via the SATA data and power cables and downloaded EaseUS ToDo back up software, and started cloning the data from the 128 GB SSD to the 240 GB SSD. it took about 15 minutes, and after booting up and checking to see if everything was doing well, i formatted my old 128 GB SSD. over the past few days i have been running into the issue where the whole OS locks up, and i cant use it. the only way to shut my system down is to press and hold the power button. it seems that when i leave my computer on and i am away from it for a while, (making coffee, eating ect.) it has some major issues. but if i am using it, gaming or watching a movie, i dont normally run into the problem. i have tried downloading the latest drivers from Crucial, and even power cycling my drives, but nothing seems to work. its driving me nuts, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I love the red accents, it contrasts with the brushed aluminum build, and the red back-lit keyboard ties it together
