Hi, the last few months have been terrible for my PC, i recently installed a new SSD to go with my old HDD and as soon as soon i had reinstalled windows on the SSD, i ran into a problem.

The PC would freeze completely, all sound and movement would be gone. This happened once every few days, mostly whenever i would open up a new video one Youtube, in the middle of a hiest in GTA, open inventory in LoL, close and app or just as soon as a "CPU" task would come up.

I got a little bit scared when this all happened, so i ran every troubleshooter i could think of, i checked event viewer, i checked BIOS and i googled it multible times. Nothing.

So, in hope to go back to the way it was, i removed my SSD and did all the installations again, reset the bios and fixed the cables from PSU. But when i started using it again, even though it did not have the SSD, i still had the same problem. So the SSD install had given me a problem and removing the ssd did not remove it. And now i dont know what to do. I went back with the ssd+hdd combo and fixed everything in bios and such, but it's still here. Any tips?

well very difficult not knowing what you have but trying to help I would presume its something to do with power saving app or a cache type app in your bios that is enabled and probably in the HDD options in your bios that needs disabling look in the ssd manual or search google about your motherboard and ssd.

And here's my pc specs:
CPU:
Motherboard:
RAM:
GPU:
HDD:
PSU make and age:
OS:

well the first things I would try are press CTRL+ALT+DEL and see whats running turn off un-needed stuff see anything running in startup that is not needed you do not have a lot of ram so slimming the system down as much as possible is a good idea go windows add remove and remove system tools that you do not need https://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller.php windows apps I only have skype and paint and calculator
https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10/update o&o shut up 10 is my preferred method I apply recommended and somewhat
hope this helps

well yes a bios update may be in order and could fix stuff but done wrongly and it will break your motherboard
BIOS
to access the bios hammer the delete key before system boots up as soon powered on
have a fresh formatted FAT32 USB stick download the bios from motherboard manufacturer only stick the bios you just downloaded on the USB stick recommend at least 2 bios's re-boot press the delete button repeatedly to get into your bios select system then update bios select usb device flash it leave it to do its thing then you should be good with your new bios
if done wrong will brick your motherboard
