Hi there,

Struggling to find out what the issue is but, I own a Samsung 850 EVO 250gb SSD, and recently, sometimes it will go up to 100% usage in Task Manager, freeze the PC, then after about 5 seconds or so, go back to normal and 0% usage.

This happens in games or just randomly on desktop, it appears to be random.

I can't see what is causing this in processes etc as by the time it unfreezes and I am able to click on the processes tab, it is no longer using 100% of the disk.

Is there any way of being able to check is causing this?

I've swapped over SATA cables and ports, no effect. I've also updated the firmware.

Cheers,
 
No, I use an AMD gpu and don't use any recording software.

I've noticed Samsung Magician states AHCI isn't on, anyone have any experience with this?
 
I've swapped it over to AHCI from IDE, and I've not had any freezes yet (although I would probably only get 1 every day or two anyways)

Just posting this in case anyone comes across this. :)
