I've been dealing with a frustrating issue on my new PC where it randomly hard freezes. These freezes mean I can't move the mouse or use the keyboard, and while the screen stays on, everything else stops working. This started on July 9th, and I've recorded 54 hard freezes since then! It can happen multiple times a day or not at all for a week, and there seems to be no specific pattern to when it occurs. It happens during various activities like browsing, gaming, and working. I've already run a MemTest with no errors and did a clean install of my display driver after using DDU, but I'm not sure what else to try. Here's my PC setup: Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Asus PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 2TB and 1TB M.2 SSDs, and a Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT.

It sounds like your SSD might be on the fritz. I’ve heard of ADATA drives having issues, so maybe that's worth investigating. You could run a health check on your SSD to see if that's the culprit.
I had a similar problem before, and replacing my SSD fixed everything. It was an ADATA too, and I wasn't too impressed with its performance. Might be time to consider a different brand if you find any issues.
Have you tried using CrystalDisk to check the status of your drives? It's super helpful for getting an idea of any problems. Check the health ratings closely. If one of those ADATA SSDs is low, that might be your issue.
