I noticed last night my ram had defaulted back to 1333mhz and a 15 latency. I set them back to 1600mhz and a 9 latency and saw an immediate improvement.

I’m running a 2TB 7200rpm hard drive and want to upgrade to an ssd I’m currently getting 96 read and write is 83.

The ssd I’m looking at is:

The 860 EVO performs at sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s* with Intelligent TurboWrite technology, and sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s. The TurboWrite buffer size* is upgraded from 12 GB to 78 GB.

Would this make a difference in game play?

Sounds like lousy luck. I have yet to experience issues.

I figured it out miraculously, I reset both my HDD and SSD using a Windows boot USB. I think my first problem when I installed the SSD the very first time was the AMD Radeon Software messing up my drivers because after I installed them again it started crashing and changing overclocking some of my BIOS settings again until I uninstalled Radeon. Works good now and everything runs smoothly, thanks for the help!

I didn't really do anything. When I move drive data, I use Macrium Reflect.

My first guess is that maybe playing with the RAM timings would have done something. I had such an issue with these Corsair Vengeance 2400MHz DDR3 RAM modules while using an OC Genie III motherboard with the XMP profile unlocked. For some reason, USB quit working and there were all kinds of issues with shutdowns. Once I turned off XMP, it worked fine.

That motherboard was also a strange product that I've never seen before. It had one of those one button overclock features. It works well and pushes the i5 3470K to a safe overclock level without causing instability. It was sold to me along with a 650w power supply, a case, some other RAM, a GTX 970, and a few other accessories for $200 because he couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Looks like I got a bargain since I figured it out. Oh, and there was a PCIe WiFi adapter included, so I made off good.
