SSD freezing laptop

So i got a second hand Thinkpad T430s a while back that came with a mechanical hard-drive that worked fine after a while but then that HDD started loading stuff A LOT slower so i decided to replace it with a Samsung 860 EVO (250GB). The thing is that the SSD will work fine sometimes for hours/days when it will cause my computer to stuffer for a few seconds then after a 20 seconds it will freeze completely. Browsed the web for a HDD since the laptop didnt have it when i got it and like any smart guy out there i did put some stuff hard paper in the bay to stop the HDD from moving but this will work fine for a few hours or days, then it will start making my mouse move really slow, if you listen you music and open another program the PC will stutter and stuff. Is there a "easy" way to fix this or i'll just have to replace the hole board for that since SATA connector?

i am I missing something or do you want to replace the whole mobo? Have your tried different sata connectors? Reinstalling windows?

Well i can't find a SATA connector replacement, and i don't think the reinstalling windows will solve the issue. Moved that freezing SSD into another laptop and it's working fine. Tested it for 2 days and i had no issues with it, so I'm guessing it's something with that connector
