Yes I did use the data migration tool. I also do weekly optimization on it. Do you think my new storage device caused these errors?
It might be but not certainly.
When did your computer freeze for the first time? was it on the first day after you installed the new SSD?
Have there been any updates installed after you installed the SSD?
Sometimes new drivers are installed during the updates and they are worse than the previous version. Please check in the Device Manager if there are any yellow triangles with exclamation mark on them.
Thank you for your input, Should I replace it with the same model as the one I have? How could I tell that the SSD is the issue? Ive already tested it and it says that its good. How can I be 100% sure that this is the issue? Because to get a new one I will have to send my current SSD back, and wait for the new one, so no computer for a while. I just want to make sure, thank you again.The most likely cause is hardware. Try removing the SSD and replacing it.
I don't think this will make any difference, but ill state it anyway just in case. I Still have my old HDD hooked up, for backup. I didn't have a spare sata cable, so I disconnected the cable from my optical drive and used that, for the power I am using a cable that also splits off to my fans. I don't think that is an issue, but ill state it anyway just in case.No, just reseat it. Changes are that it is just some bad contact and reseating may cure that.
I read online that it could be common with overheating CPU, but it would be coming from the motherboard, not my speakers. All my temp levels are in the normal range. I don’t overclock my CPU.
The first freeze was about 3 days after I installed my SSD, it was about 10 seconds long. The next one was 5 days after, that freeze was longer. Then about a week after it happened like a dozen times in one day.
Check every cable you have touched. Reseat firmly every cable and every device you have touched. Don't use cables from the inside to the outside of the computer. If possible clean contacts with a peace of paper - don't use fluids! Check your old HDD with seatools. Temperature was alright, wasn't it?…. I Still have my old HDD hooked up, for backup.
