I have a lot of games on my external hard drive which have worked fine until a month ago (not sure really how long ago just but I'm pretty sure i didn't have this problem a month ago) where any time i played a game that is on the external hard drive i get those short moments where the game freezes i can still move my mouse and hear the music. on my normal hard drive inside the pc everything works well but i don't have large games on it except League of legends which uses adobe air (don't know if that matters or not). To try to fix it i went through event viewer and saw nothing close to the time where the freeze happens i tried restarting, disk clean up, checking the disk via cmd, and error check, and i didn't find anything.
the way the games are installed:
-I install uplay, origin, etc on my normal hard drive and choose the place to install games on the external hard drive.
- Steam is just directly installed on the external hard drive with the games
- I have other games that don't have a gaming platform and are just directly installed on it
the way i check if something is wrong is by using the internet (I don't know much about pc's) and if people say the results of the test shouldn't be that way i look for more proof to make sure its correct what is said then try to fix it but i have had no luck.
any suggestions? also i am handicapped so can you please give me a suggestion that doesn't have anything to do with dismantling my pc cuz that would take me weeks and i would probably break something considering i cant use my fingers real well. if there is no option then ill just pay someone to look at it. thx
