Problem with external SSD

I have the following problem with an external Buffalo SSD. Every time I connect it, the computer becomes very slow or sometimes freezes, an issue that is resolved by disconnecting the SSD. I have tried various ports and different cables, but the problem persists. Interestingly, this issue occurs on computers with AMD processors but not on those with Intel processors. Any suggestions?

Primary monitor blacks out after disconnecting from external

Hi Oscar,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.

• Are you aware of any changes that happened on the computer prior to this issue?
  

This issue could be due to the display setting corruption that only affected the primary display when disconnected from the secondary.



I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works for you:

• Press ‘Win + R’ keys on the keyboard together to open the Run dialog box and type the following into the Run box:
  appwiz.cpl
  
• Uninstall Intel HD Graphics Drivers and exit
  Programs and Features.
  
• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Display Adapters and right click on
  Intel HD Graphics Display Driver.
  
• Click on Uninstall and check the box
  Delete the driver software for this device.
  
• With the external monitor connected, reboot the machine.
  
• Once the machine boots into the desktop, disconnect the external monitor and check if the issue persists.
  

Hope it helps.

Regards,
