My Computer Freezes randomly while hdd Light turns solid red.

I removed the DVD drive from my laptop and then moved the local disk to a caddy in its place. The original hard disk was replaced with an SSD.

I set it all up and it works fine for 99% of the time. I have created hard junctions to keep certain parts of the user data (photos, email files, desktop, my docs etc) on the larger old hard disk, keeping AppData in the usual location.

I am thinking that there is a hardware conflict, but I thought I'd mention the junctions in case someone thinks this could be somehow causing it.

How can I track down this problem? I try looking in the events after it happens but most of the time nothing is listed, sometimes it says things like..

The scan of C:\Users\Ash\AppData\Local\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxServiceState.xml has taken too long to complete and is being canceled. Scan engine version used is 5800.7501 DAT version 8322.0000.

From the virus scanner. Each time it seems that it is random and not always the virus scanner.

check your voltage and temperatures in the bios and post them

Temps attached. The problem occurs pretty randomly. It seems not to make any difference how hard the computer is working. Often it occurs when lots of web pages are loaded, I am thinking that the web cacheing is having something to do with it. But it can happen even with no web pages up.

Yes, I believe it is related to web cache because it seems to have the problem shortly after browsing. Any suggestions anybody?

It happened again.. roughly twice thoughout the working day, sometimes more.

The scan of C:\Windows\SysWOW64\werfault.exe has taken too long to complete and is being canceled. Scan engine version used is 5800.7501 DAT version 8327.0000.

You think it could be the Antivirus causing it?

Why don't you use CClener CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download to clean your disk?

Hi Megahertz, I already had CCleaner, I just ran it, time will tell if it makes a difference..

AddRAM, the problem started I think as soon as I installed the SSD... It's new.

You're talking about a desktop, not a laptop or alike, aren't you?
Ash, can you explain what you did you do to add the SSD? You did a clean install or cloned the HDD to the SSD?
Please take a snapshot with sniping tool of Explorer with the left panel showing the two drives and sub folders.

Hi, it's a laptop. The new ssd was smaller than my data on the old hard disk so first I backed up and deleted all my photos, music, work files (which lived in sub-folders on the desktop) and then cloned the disc using disc cloning software.
Then I removed the blueray player and put the old HD back in place of it in a caddy.
The old HD is just used for certain user data like my docs, my photos, desktop etc. I made junctions for all those. I did make some junctions also for install file locations etc too as they take up bags of space. It all works fine except this intermittent locking up for about 1-2 mins each time. I'll do a snapshot of what is on d: (old HD) soon.
