Hello!
My computer has been acting really odd lately. I haven't installed many things recently, other than Steam games (which I trust) and a few other things that I have since uninstalled. I get blue screens of death (from my gfx card, atikmpag.sys), computer freezes (have to restart with power button), mouse freezes every once in a while and the default startup programs, as well USB devices connected to my computer, take an extra minute after bootup to start, and when they do start it's all instant, like it should be.
I have an SSD, so normally everything loads right away on startup when there isn't a problem.
What I've tried: Downgrading BIOS
Made sure graphics card drivers are up to date, which they are
Restarted computer with all USB devices unplugged, problem still occurs
Launched in safe mode, I believe the problem doesn't occur in safe mode
Scanned for virus multiple times on both drives with full and quick scans using Malwarebytes and avast
Computer stats:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: i7-3840QM
RAM: 12GB
Drives: 512GB SSD, 750GB HDD @ 7200RPM
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7970M
Another thing - I installed this SSD on my computer (yes, with AHCI) a few months back and this is probably one of the first times I've had a problem.
Ideas? Please help! Thanks in advance, it's much appreciated.
