Hello All, thanks for taking the time.
This has been an issue since before installing my SSD, but there are new issues as a result as well. I mostly cover it in the title- running Windows 7, when I open folders (indiscriminate: recycling bin, downloads, program files, anything) the system will either freeze or slow to a crawl. The progress bar at the top will slowly advance and sometimes just freeze. When it freezes, the taskbar disappears, then all files on the desktop, then everything, then it comes back after a very long time time. Sometimes i have to end it just to begin the process.
Infrequently, programs themselves will lock and i have to use task manager, but that happens more often when I am installing those programs. Currently i am trying to install Photoshop and it freezes after about 2%. Tried rebooting but its the same thing. I even have to cancel the process cause the process still hangs around.
With the drives, I installed a Kingston SSD recently and use it as my boot drive. I use my old 1TB spinning disc for storage and some of the bigger programs. Without fail, if i ever Reset the computer, this drive disappears. I have to completely shut down in order to have it come come back. Less frequently, the drive takes forever to access,sometimes going very slowly and sometimes completely breaks down like the SSD files i mentioned above. I have to use Task Manager to get it to come back sometimes.
That about covers it. Sorry about the book-long post but i wanted to cover as many problems as possible. I run Malware Bytes and SpyBot with some frequency, and use ESET NOD Smart Security. Connections are clean and i checked them recently. Average CPU temp around 56-59 C. I checked a million other similar threads and tried what they said and not much has helped. But if there are threads that relate please drop them here I may have missed it. Thanks again for helping i appreciate it.
