Updated to Windows 10, your computer becomes unresponsive continuously.
Updated to Windows 10, your computer becomes unresponsive continuously.
I upgraded my PC from Q6600 to a Ryzen 1600. After the change, I kept using the same Windows 8.1 on my SSD and everything worked well for a week. I even tried overclocking and got stable performance, but since I couldn’t monitor temperatures in Win 8.1, I switched to Windows 10 so I could use AMD Ryzen Master. It functions smoothly, though it freezes constantly and unpredictably. I’ve returned to the default speeds, turned off automatic SSD hibernation every 20 minutes, and followed most freezing guides. The RAM is fine, temperatures are normal (with a Noctua cooler at 33°C idle), but I’m still seeking advice. My mouse cursor moved perfectly in Win 8.1, now it feels like it’s running at 30 frames per second. I’ll share more details later—it froze twice while writing this.
It could appear trivial, but you likely did it yourself. If so, begin by checking the task manager for CPU, RAM, disk usage and other stats. Run a clean scan with Cleaner and Malwarebytes. In the worst case, you might need to erase the drive and reinstall Windows. One of the main concerns I notice is that you mentioned using the same SSD but switching from Intel to AMD. Make sure you removed the Intel drivers completely. This seems unlikely given you used them for a week. Also, keep in mind that drivers for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 differ. Did you uninstall the 8.1 drivers before upgrading to Windows 10? In short: start by reinstalling all Windows 10 drivers.
You're switching from 8.1 to W10, or moving directly to W10 from USB? Anything before W10 isn't compatible with Ryzen.
Do you have any existing operating system installation options? Are there USB 3.0 connections available? Do you possess any USB 2.0 ports?
Did you verify for UEFI/BIOS updates? Have you downloaded the newest drivers from each manufacturer’s site? (motherboard, graphics card, etc.) I suspect you might be missing your motherboard chipset drivers, and possibly the SATA controller drivers (which could be part of the chipset depending on your SATA controller type and board model)
