Hello,
I have just finished building a new computer, but it's randomly not responding for around 30 seconds when doing simple browsing or just opening folders. I suspect it's HDD, because when the freeze happens the HDD light is constantly lit, indicating that it's busy. I tried defragmentation, but it did not help.
The HDD is "Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 16MB Cache 7200RPM 3.5in SATA Internal Hard Drive OEM" and connected to SATA 1 port on ASUS M5A78L-M LX Plus motherboard. I choose AHCI for SATA configuration.
My System Specs are:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-4GBXL 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 Memory
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 16MB Cache 7200RPM 3.5in SATA Internal Hard Drive OEM
ASUS M5A78L-M LX Plus mATX AM3+ DDR3 AMD 760G 1PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 1PCI SATA2 VGA GBLAN Motherboard
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 1033MHZ 2GB 6.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card
AMD FX-6300 Six Core Processor Socket AM3+ 3.5GHZ 14MB 95W Retail Box
EVGA 500 Bronze 500W 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply 3 Years Warranty
Coolermaster N400 ATX Mid Tower Case Black 5X5.25 8X3.5INT 2XUSB3.0
Windows 8.1 x64
Please help, the freezes are unbearable.
Thanks
