I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with my PC. Despite having solid specs, including a Ryzen 5 5500, RX 7600 graphics card, and 16 GB of RAM, my system freezes completely when I try to alt-tab out of light games like Hearthstone or League of Legends. Even switching screens while playing causes the game to freeze on all display settings. Strangely, my Task Manager shows disk usage at 100%, even with low read/write speeds, and this remains consistent even after I formatted Windows and scanned for malware. Could one of my SSDs be faulty? Additionally, whenever a game updates, my whole PC becomes nearly unusable. It feels slower than my old laptop with integrated graphics!

First off, you should definitely check your SSD health with CrystalDiskMark. Not all SSDs are built the same, and there’s a chance your MANCER SSDs aren’t performing as they should. Additionally, it's good to rule out any issues with drivers or system corruption; try using DISM and SFC commands in Command Prompt to fix potential problems. Run `dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth` followed by `sfc /scannow`. Just be prepared, as it can take some time! Good luck sorting this out!
Thanks for the advice! I actually started DISM, but it's been stuck at 62.3% for two hours now. I'll share my CrystalDiskMark results once it's done.
