Win10 Pro 20H2 Freezing even with different SSDs

My old SSD was at 19.5tb writes, so it served me well, I now have a 2 day old 1tb Samsung 860 evo and I'm still getting hangs/hard freezes.

I just downloaded 20H2 from Microsoft, I have magician installed and set up, I tried power link, I tried some driver stuff, tried some cmds I have no other dives installed, still getting freezes.

Here is are some speccy screenshots, I usually have 32gb of ram I was just testing anything. These specs are also on my account



Thanks for any help

In the future, when you want to share a Speccy report of your computer, In Speccy, go to File\Publish Snapshot, and copy the link and paste it in your next post.
In your post you say I have no other dives installed But your Speccy report says you have an External 2TB USB HDD and a 64GB USB 3.0 Flash drive attached?
As for your problem Try a Clean Boot, if that works, you can keep it this way or you can add one Startup Item or Service at a time until the computer freezes, then you will know the culprit

Thanks! I just needed to bounce this off someone to jog my mind.

I'll test things out.

Thanks again.

I return from a rabbit hole.

It was not the 2TB USB HDD. I'm very sure

Things I've tried other wise:

sfc /scannow

Increasing the page file

chkdsk

AHCI link power management tweak

Disabled aggressive AHCI in my bios.

I just replaced the mobo on this PC, at the time I was using the old 500GB Samsung evo that has 19.5TB writes on it, I've also had about 8 odd HDDs pass through that I've been painfully doing backups of

I figured all the freezing was because of them.

I made the OP because now I'm on a brand spanking new 1tb Samsung evo, Win1020 and the issue persists. I've tried everything I can think of... even linux...

This did not help but then I only have 3 things installed so far, this install is still hours old

Click the url links for the website to follow instructions on how to do hardware diagnostics:
- Diagnostics
- Hardware Diagnostics
- Hardware Strip-down Troubleshooting

Check Device Manager >Display Adapter for flags.
In the search box,type in ---dxdiag--- and note the driver details given on the right of the Display page.
Visit the maker's site only and download the same or later version,if available.
If you can,use Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode,then install the new driver.
Also check Reliability History for entries.However if the install is quite recent and freezing has not occurred in that period,there probably won't be any.
