I would personally set all of that stuff to "Disabled", and then, set the Power Profile in Win10 to "High Performance". I don't know that I would have installed RST on a rig that old, nor messed with Link Power Management. I have to think this is software but I don't know what else could cause this. I supposed the EVO could be bad but Samsung Magician and HDD Sentinel report it's 100%. I'm just looking for any other ideas to try prior to trying new hardware. During one of my tests, after I thought I fixed it, it idled for over 5 hours with no issues, so it's all over the place.Ģ) Verified AHCI mode is on in BIOS, latest BIOS loaded.ģ) Installed proper AHCI driver in device manager from Intel's H67 support page (might have been generic MS driver prior, didn't check).Ĥ) Installed the Intel RST software package for the H67 chipset.ĥ) Installed a registry patch so that there are additional options in Power Management and "AHCI Link Power Management" is "Active" and "AHCI Link Power Management - Adaptive" is set to 0 milliseconds.

I doubt it's a CPU or RAM issue as this computer ran fine for years, the HDD switch is the only thing new (and the HDD that died was running Windows 10). It's froze while idling with the screen saver on, while browsing in Chrome, and while running a Prime95 test. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason when it freezes. I can't pinpoint why, but the computer keeps freezing randomly and needs to be hard reset to get it back.
#Samsung nvme drivers windows 10 freezing update
I replaced it with a Samsung 860 EVO 500gb and installed Windows 10 Spring Creators Update clean (they had a digital license linked to the machine). A friend of the family had their HDD die on an old Dell (H67 chipset, i7-2600).
