PC is not responding properly.
PC is not responding properly.
I've noticed the problem where my PC freezes unexpectedly, especially when I right-click the desktop or open any Chrome tab. Even after resetting the drive, it keeps struggling. Online advice suggests a failing drive, but Hard Disk Sentinel shows the M.2 is healthy and performance is optimal. It seems the issue might be elsewhere—maybe a software glitch or background process.
Are the temperatures good? Say having way too little thermal paste can do the same thing. A way to test if it's the drive is to create a OS within a USB and use that. If the stutter goes, drive problem is more likely. SMART is not perfect.
