Hey guys, I need help, so I recently just upgraded my boot drive to a 500 GB 960 Evo from a HyperX 120GB SSD on my current rig (three days ago) and I'm noticing a lot of hang-ups/ several delayed responses/non-responsive software. How do I fix this? 

 

For Reference, I tried firing up GTA 5 for the first time since install, and the game has severe stuttering. Even though its the only game I installed on the NVMe drive. Also my task manager becomes unresponsive when trying to close it out.

 

P.S. Also just started using one of the UEFI suggested overclock speeds.

 

Current Build List:
Rosewill Throne Case
Broadwell-E 6800k 3.4ghz -> O.C. to 3.8ghz
Corsair H105i CPU Cooler
ASRock Extreme4 LGA 2011-v3
16GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 DDR4 3200 (4 X 4GB)
EVGA GTX 1080 Superclock
Corsair AX760 PSU
Samsung 500GB 960 Evo (boot drive)
Seagate Hybrid Drive ST1000DX001 1TB (mass storage)
misc. Old CD/DVD-R drive from an old HP

Did you clone your OS over to the new drive or did you do a fresh install? Have you made sure to install all bios updates. When that board was originally released support for nvme was not as widespread as it is now.

Also, how full is that drive.  Is it just windows on it or did you throw some games and whatnot.  Usually a good idea to leave 20 percent or so of breathing space.

I did a fresh install for the nvme but a lot of my old files were still on the HDD. And I have the latest bios and downloaded the 960 evo drivers off of samsung's website.

It isn't even close to full. I installed GTA 5 and maybe PUBG on it but thats it.
