So here's the issue. My computer will just freeze and crash out of no where. A lot of times it's when I have a lot going on at once (watching videos on one monitor while gaming on the other). It all started happening when I installed my SSD (Samsung evo 850 250GB).
I installed the SSD and wiped my other drive (Seagate hybrid ssd) clean with Derek's boot and nuke and installed the OS on the SSD. It worked fine for a month or two and then all of a sudden started blue screening. In the beginning I just had to turn off the PSU and reboot and it would work fine. Now it's starting to crash twice or more in a day. Sometimes I'll just leave my computer on and come back to the black screen asking me to set up the drive to boot like it doesn't recognize the SSD in the boot order. Again, just powering it off and turning it back on allows it to boot the OS (it wasn't doing this until recently so I thought it wasn't the SSD until now). Could the SSD be faulty?
Specs:
AMD FX 8320 CPU
EVGA Geforce GTX 660 GPU
2 x 4gb ddr3 Ripjaws ram
Asus m5a97 le r2.0 mother board
Segate 500 GB hybird SSD
Samsung evo 850 250GB
EVGA 750 Watt PSU
