Brief hard freezes in Windows 7 - where to dig to solve the problem?

Question

Iron

We have - a computer on an AMD processor under Windows 7 64bit with an SSD disk.
Periodically, everything hangs, and so hard that even the cursor "sticks" to the screen. At the same time, active work with the disk is observed - the indicator does not blink, but burns continuously. After 10-30 seconds (whenever) everything is restored and works as if nothing had happened. Googling the subject yielded nothing.
What will be the ideas where to dig, if not to solve the problem, then at least to understand the reasons?

Answer 1

well, it is obvious that the system is trying to read something archival from the disk or write to it, but it is so busy that it cannot do anything. maybe he periodically shifts and optimizes something with his electronic brains? I have a very weak hard drive in terms of speed on my laptop, and if, for example, I download something serious and the recording goes to different parts of the disk (a large file in a torrent), then the interface periodically freezes.

Answer 2

there were such
symptoms several times - dying for only 30-60 seconds, then everything is ok
first once a month, then it becomes more frequent (up to several times a day) and as a result ssd into the trash completely (about a year and a half from the date of purchase)
several computers, several ssds
in common - ssd by ocz

Answer 3

I see a similar problem on Samsung 535U3C (AMD A6, Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit, standard HDD).
The only difference is that the laptop may not hang even after an hour, just constantly spin the HDD and do something. Music from VK goes normally until the end of the track (with a frozen screen), and the next track does not open. Most likely soon the HDD will fall off. I also noticed a pattern - when the charger is disconnected and quickly connected, there is a high probability of freezing, so the grown ESR of the power filter capacitors or auxiliary circuits in the power converter may be the culprit

Answer 4

According to the observations of the system, it seems that some kind of write queue is accumulating, and at some point all processes stop in order to process this queue. In general, the problem has not yet been solved

Answer 5

There was an identical problem with a conventional HDD. It turned out that it was very hot due to poor cooling of the video card, and the wire was old from the first sata (
In general, I solved the cooling problem and bought a new sata-3 cord. After that, the hangings are gone)

Answer 6

There was a similar problem with a conventional HDD, it was solved by simply replacing the sata cable with a new one. I advise you to try
