Heya so I took my PC into a local repair shop I know that was pretty good to me in the past for an issue regarding it loading with "please restart and select proper boot driver" during this time I had them install a new SSD I had purchased from microcenter a few months back for my next build (Samsung 980 Pro)
After I got it back upon startup I noticed something weird; it was running a bit slow and only had one storage device coming up on the PC itself. So I go into task manager and resource monitor and start finding everything I do spikes "Disc 0" which is my old Western Digital HHD which apparently is loading all my programs and everything.
Trying to boot my PC with my 980 via disabling the HDD loops back to the
"please restart and select proper boot driver", Samsung Boot Magician registers it but on Task manager it also sits at 0% usage.
Everything on the PC boots from the SSD though as that is where I installed everything on it. Everything I get on works just fine but if I try lets say screensharing or sitting on a game even like TFT my PC will freeze up occasionally and I will have to manually restart it. The disc usage sits at a near constant 100% when loading anything but once on it seems to function perfectly fine so as an example launching a game and loading in will take forever and show several processes being read in resource monitor but once it loads up it works perfectly fine and is rather smooth. Even hitting the windows key to search spikes it to like over 40% disc
I currently have Windows 10 and the PC is a little older (like 1080 build) everything works fine though? it's not overheating or anything of the sort, I can open it up now although I'm not crazy great with PCs.
I'm happy to answer any additional questions and appreciate some advice on what my next steps should be.
I plan to do my new build in August so if this just means I start it sooner then oh well.
