Oh ok, I will be sure to do that as soon as possible

Noob question but how to check for firmware update and update it if there is one?
-
Windows is from microsoft official site and product key is bought there so I don't think there should be any issue with that. I ran Kaspersky total scan and Malwarebytes several times and no malware was found... Also this problem, freezes, came when I upgraded my PC with this SSD in January. Before, when I was running windows of 4+ years old HDD, there were no problems...
-
I will do the Memtest86 until the end of the week and I will look into buying new cooler for CPU. But one thing I noticed is that when the freeze happens my disk usage in task manager shows that my primary drive (Kingston 480GB SSD) goes all the way up to 100% and when PC unfreezes it goes back to normal usage. Is this maybe the reason for freezes? Faulty SSD?

I ran that script again, it didn't show any errors as you said but my PC still freezes. I have heard for that and on one forum I saw being written that you need to run Memtest86 from CD but I don't have optical drive in my PC. Can this be modified to run from USB Stick? My configuration only has one RAM stick, it's BallistiX 8GB 2666MHz. My PC specs are: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (not overclocked) Asus Prime A320K-M motherboard BallistiX 8GB 2666MHz (one RAM stick) Asus Cerberus 1050 Ti 3 storage drives (from above) 500W PSU My CPU temperature currently (while having Chrome, Opera, Task Manager, and HWinfo open) is 50°C with maximum of 61.8°C and average of 51.3°C Edit: I ran Aida64 for 10 minutes and CPU temps were averaging between 80°C and 85°C with peak temperature hitting 93.9°C.

I will do that, but still, my PC freezes like mad every 15-20 minutes

Yes I did. This was the last thing that was written after all 4 processes finished. "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If SFC found some errors and could not repair, re-run the script after a reboot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

Yea, I will try just replacing SATA cable, but still if that and/or new drive doesn't fix the issue I really don't know what to do. Experienced freezes multiple times while writing this post and replying. I am clueless to what the problem actually is.

I am going to probably buy new secondary drive and see if that solves problem because my current one is over 1870 days old. I have only one stick of ram, 8GB 2666MHz and my motherboard is Asus prime a320m-k so I don't see it being any compatibility issue with ram speeds and motherboard. To my knowledge my motherboard supports my ram speeds.

Seeing as my 1TB drive is pretty old ("Power on time: 1878 days" as stated by Hard Disk Sentinel) do you suggest just buying new 1TB drive and new SATA cable because I really don't have time to backup everything from drive and do secure erase. I mean HDD isn't that expensive in the first place, but only question is would this solve my freezing problem I am experiencing?

Main 480GB SSD: "The status of the solid state disk is PERFECT. Problematic or weak sectors were not found. The TRIM feature of the SSD is supported and enabled for optimal performance. The health is determined by SSD specific S.M.A.R.T. attribute(s): #231 SSD Wear Indicator No actions needed." Secondary 1TB HDD: "There are 4 bad sectors on the disk surface. The contents of these sectors were moved to the spare area. At this point, warranty replacement of the disk is not yet possible, only if the health drops further. Problems occurred between the communication of the disk and the host 75 times. In case of sudden system crash, reboot, blue-screen-of-death, inaccessible file(s)/folder(s), it is recommended to verify data and power cables, connections - and if possible try different cables to prevent further problems. More information: https://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_case_communication_error.php It is recommended to examine the log of the disk regularly. All new problems found will be logged there." Third 500GB HDD: "The hard disk status is PERFECT. Problematic or weak sectors were not found and there are no spin up or data transfer errors. No actions needed."

1. I ran CrystalDiskInfo and it shows these results: My main drive (which is SSD): It shows that health status is "Unknown" My secondary 1TB (HDD): It says that health status is "Caution" and on the list of thing only yellow dot is next to "Reallocated Sectors Count" and everything else is blue My third 500GB (HDD): It says that health status is "Good" 2. I also ran Hard Disk Sentinel and it says: My main SSD (whick is Kingston 480GB btw): Performance: 100%; Health: 85%; My secondary 1TB HDD: Performance: 100%; Health: 95%; My third 500GB HDD: Performance: 100%; Health: 100%; 3. LatencyMon check is in progress as of the time of writing this so I will update you once the results are in. I really don't see any big problem with my drives and I'm clueless to where the actual problem is. (I will also provide screenshots of above listed results if needed)

Windows is installed on SSD, it's not on hard drive. I have already did fresh installs of Windows 3 times since January and that didn't fix the problem as well. Is my SSD maybe bad, or is there any other possible answer for this problem?

Hello, I have a problem on my PC for some time now. When I am doing some tasks on my PC (whether being browsing or heavy-duty tasks like video editing) my Windows freezes randomly. Sometimes it lasts 5 seconds, sometimes 10, 15, 20 but sometimes it goes up to a minute of freeze and I am unable to do anything while it's frozen. I can't open task manager or any other app so I am forced to just wait for it to unfreezes. Also, I sometimes get 4-6 freezes in 1-2 minute time span but other times I can be working for hour or two and it doesn't freeze, not even once. It usually happens when I am launching two browsers or have one open and click on the other one to launch it. It also happens frequently when I game so it takes away the joy of playing games. It also makes my life pretty frustrating when trying to get some work done. Whether it's editing some music video, or actually making music it is annoying not to be able to work smoothly. But also interesting fact is that while PC is frozen I am able to move my cursor but that's the only thing I can do, and it isn't really helpful because, as I said, I am unable to launch any app while PC is frozen. I really don't know is this Windows based or hardware based problem so any help regarding my problem would be really appreciated. Thank you for your help!
