My pc "freezes"

I've recently built my pc without any professional help and I am experiencing some problems. For example my entire system freezes sometimes and I believe that the problem is the protocol of SSD (achi,ide etc.). Windows 7 are loaded in the SSD. I've tried to chage the protocols and the sata ports many times but the problem still remains. Can anyone help with this problem?

Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-DS3P

PSU: Thermaltake smart 630W SPS 630MP

CPU: AMD FX-6300

SSD: Kingston SSDNOW V300 60GB

RAM: Crucial Ballistix (tactical) 2x4GB

GPU: Nvidia gt 9600

HDD: Toshiba 500GB

If you're changing from IDE to AHCI in the BIOS/UEFI, you must boot into safe mode FIRST, after the change. Then reboot into windows regularly. Freezes are also very commonly caused by static electricity buildup, if your case is on carpet, place some cardboard underneath, and re-plug your internal 24-pin cables to see if there are any bad connections.

 

I hope this helps.

Yeah,

Change to AHCI mode, and turn on NCQ if you have it.

Boot into safe mode

Then boot into Windows

Now check to see if AHCI was successfully enabled with your favorite desktop program.
