I have a fairly new ASUS Q534U laptop (Core i7-7thGen CPU, 16GB RAM, GTX950M GPU). It has a stock 512 GB SSD (Nynix HFS512G39TND-N210A) where the Win10 OS is installed on it as drive C: (and my other apps), and a 1TB HDD (where I keep my data files, eg photos etc) as drive D: My problem is that at least once per hour the computer freezes where I can't type, apps won't respond, sometimes (not often) the mouse pointer won't move or will disappear. Most of the time the mouse pointer will move, the Task Bar can be popped up and if I have Task Manager running (which I do most of the time so I can see what's happening) and I mouse over its icon I'll see the mini preview showing my C: drive graph maxed out busy in the Performance tab...however, the transfer rate graph is showing little to no activity. CPU graph does not change much from normal. It's all apparently in the C: (SSD) drive. When it happens, it lasts anywhere from 15secs to 1 minute, then things are back to normal. Typically, I have MS Word, Outlook, Vivaldi (chromium) browser running when this happens, but I've seen it with one each of more of these apps closed.
Any ideas what may be causing this, or how I can narrow down any culprit service?
I have Diskeeper 16 installed, but not finding anything about how that could be doing this, besides it would seem it would be bumping up the disk transfer and CPU graphs if it were de-fragging or something during these instances of freezing.
