well atleast thats my working theory.

a few weeks ago i complained / seeked good help here about noticing that my SSD was a bit slow when compared to when i got it. After running a diag/SSD benchmark, i was told that i was still in ide more and to switch to ahci.

now when i ran the benchamark the numbers grew by a GOOD decent amount!

but as i go about my daily, i notice and keep noticing more and more now that my PC keeps freezing every few minutes.
and its for everything. games/work programs etc...

ill perform some type of task then it kinda just hangs for about a minute or so. then it comes back.
VERY annoying!

any ideas? is it bad? bugs etc?

ill keep searching google on my end.
thanks in advance.
