My setup: CPU model Ryzen 1600X, GPU Asus Strix 1080, RAM G.Skill Trident Z - 48Gb (not overclocked), SSD Samsung 990 Pro (new), OS Windows 11. The main problems I’m facing are:

1. After installing Windows 11, my PC feels slow when opening the "This PC" shortcut, especially for different folders or media files. It usually takes 1-3 seconds to launch and it bothers me a lot.
2. My computer occasionally freezes heavily while browsing or using light applications. It starts by ignoring some programs, then gradually stops responding before freezing completely. Only pressing Alt-Tab to switch tabs helps, but after a few seconds it crashes entirely—requiring a hard reboot.
3. Today my PC rebooted unexpectedly. It doesn’t seem linked to recent Windows updates.
4. I sometimes hear a strange sound from the GPU when I power off the system completely. I’m not sure if this is related to the other issues, but I plan to record it for analysis.

In past experiences with a different SSD (Samsung 860) and Windows 10, I also encountered random freezing episodes, though less frequently than now. You can check my screenshots for average power usage and temperatures.
