Hey.
I've been having on and off issues with my PC for a while now. This is very much an intermittent issue.
Initially, last year, I had an issue with my system freezing up completely randomly. Different parts would freeze up at different times - as in I would be in chrome, and it would freeze, but i could tab to itunes and use that for about 5 seconds before that froze as well, yet could still bring up task manager and use that for 5s before everything completely froze. During this time, the HDD LED which usually flashes frequently to indicate activity was solidly lit up until everything unfroze again after anywhere between 10 - 60 seconds.
Product:
HyperX 240GB 3K SSD (SH103S3B)
Symptoms:
Thing I tried:
SO I'm now at a complete loss and have no clue what the issue is or what could cause it. Please help if you can
EDIT: ran a SSD benchmark:

Symptoms:
Random freezes, kind of in stages and eventually systems locks up.
HDD LED on case solidly lit up for duration of freezes.
Sometimes freezes when windows is booting up - get to the "Windows is Starting" message but the logo animation never appears.
Thing I tried:
Reinstalled Windows 7 - this worked for a few months. The issues returned and sometimes it even freezes on the "starting windows" screen and I never see the animated windows logo, just stays on the black screen with the text "starting windows".
I replaced the motherboard, CPU and GPU as these were getting outdated anyway, but eliminates possible issues with these components.
Updating firmware for the SSD.
SO I'm now at a complete loss and have no clue what the issue is or what could cause it. Please help if you can
