Hey. I'm not an expert when it comes to software or storage. I'm experiencing complete system freezes. Especially when I try to download big files (Games) and leave computer. Or Just leaving it Idle. Sometimes it will just freeze everything but the mouse but most of the time with it frozen. I built this computer in august and used a Hard Drive from an older computer to do so (2010). I'm thinking the problem has to do with the HD because it happens more often when downloading games larger than a few GB. But it never happened with the old computer with this drive so maybe its the motherboard which I don't think I have the latest bios updated. I have been putting up with this since August.
