    Windows 10 and 11 freeze for 7-8 seconds every 5 minutes while external SSd usage spikes to...


    I bought a brand new desktop with Windows 11 pro and I still have an older laptop with Windows 10 that works fine. The new desktop specifications: Asus Rog crosshair X670E hero, AMD Ryzen 9 7900, MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 3X E 12G OC, 2 x 1 TB Samsung internal SSD drives. The new PC works like a charm, except with my three external SSD T7 2TB drives, of which I have two for backups and one for storing and playing my videos I tested all three with the problem at hand. The backups don't cause any problems, but things go wrong when playing the videos. It doesn't matter which app I use to play

    :)

    Audiodg.exe Spikes Cpu Usage

    Every 5 minutes or so audiodg.exe spikes my cpu usage to about 50% and any audio im playing cuts out and then comes back a second or 2 later. The video is completely fine and it's not a problem with
    my USB Headset. audiodg.exe stays at low cpu usage when it's not spiking.

    Solutions I've tried:

    1. turning off audio enhancements
    2. reinstalling lan, and audio drivers
    3. turning off HPET
    4. lowering the sound quality in control panel
    5. DPC Latency checker (no change when spiking)
    None of these solutions work. Please help.

    Random 100% SSD usage spikes freeze computer for 15-30 seconds

    Hey guys, I've been having an issue with my computer for the last couple of months where it randomly freezes (could be simply using Word or playing any game), I've been trying to find a solution but I've been unsuccesful. Whenever it happens, the task manager shows a 100% usage for the SSD without any real indication of what could be causing it:

    Debating on buying another SSD to see if that fixes it. Also, I found a post from 2016 with the same problem but I couldn't make Intel RST work on my PC Random spikes of 100% disk activity on system drive. Would seriously appreciate your help. Thanks !

    Hey friend! Today I solved the issue, it was a persistent problem. You have to update your kingston firmwere. That's it. Use Kingston SSD Manager
