Hey everyone
I got the new motherboard, had some issues with the hard drives, sometimes frozen uefi (didn't respond to keyboard or mouse) and after a week it didn't recognise my SSD nor my HDD, so I RMAd the board, got it back after a month they said it's OK ("tested it for a week"). So I try it, seems OK, put everything back in the case, install windows. During the installation I got an error, so I restart, this time delet both partitions on my SSD (the small 100MB one and my "normal" C drive), and this time it goes through.
Now it's all working but:
I think my drives not working properly (I've used shadowplay to record some gaming footage on 1080p, 60fps before, my previous machine was totally fine with it (older mobo, older cpu) but now it does not play back my recordings normally, it stutters. If I record 720p 60fps it's fine.
Also my USB keyboard sometimes not working when booted up. The lights are on (it's a ducky shine 3) but I can not type.
They updated the BIOS so it's the newest one, I've also tried reinstalling all drivers.
I don't know what to try or test to figure out if the SATA ports are working correctly.
Both my drives worked fine in the previous machine, I only got new motherboard, cpu and ram.
Stress test didn't show any problem (only run aida 64 for 3 hours).
Samsung magician performance benchmark fails half was through when I test my SSD: Operation Timed-out, and it shows around 70-80MB/s write speed from the max 130.
Unfortunately I don't have another machine to try or speed test my drives in.
They are a Samsung 840 Evo SSD 120GB and a Seagate Barracuda 500GB

If you have any idea what and how to test, or what results should I get, that would be greatly appreciated. I don't see any point in RMAing the thing if I can't proove it's not OK.
Thanks
