Just finished building a new PC, all I did was boot from Windows 10 USB installer, delete all existing partitions, create new partitions, quick format and install OS. SSD is not brand spanking new but barely used before as you will see in the pics below.
Started noticing some occasional freezing of application, for example, on a browser, I would right click on a link to open in a new tab and that new tab would stop responding, all other application and even other tabs withing the browser would keep running normally. I would open the mouse or user setting and the setting window would appear but content would not load of about a good 15 - 20 seconds or so. Again, that setting window would not respond however everything else would keep functioning normally. Initially I though that it was because of the new load, maybe still finishing up installations... but it didn't stop.
Then I started looking around in the system and noticed that the C drive in my computer showed a little res X at the bottom corner. So I opened Crystal DiskInfo and it showed everything to be okay. Next, as the issue still kept happening (by this time I had installed Plex server and whenever I would try to launch it, nothing would happen for a good 30 seconds, then it would launch and everything would function normally.) I installed Hard Disk Sentinel and that showed an issue with the SSD.
Any chance its not the SSD, any suggestion, anything else I can try to diagnose or fix the problem? Any other software I could try?
