    I recently upgraded to the Crucial M4 and my computer seems to freeze every once in a while for 5-30 seconds and then recover. It has even gone as far as causing the computer to restart itself.

    I am not completely convinced it is the SSD but if there is no way to check I am seriously considering returning the SSD. Is there anyway to check what might be the problem?

    Everytime it comes back it sounds like it does something with the Cd-Rom with confuses the heck out of me...

    Try search up and see if the "LPM fix" does anything for you.

    Also try updating the Crucial M4 to the latest firmware if you haven't done so too.

    Oops, yeah. Try that one before you try the LPM fix.

    The Crucial M4 is updated to the current firmware. I am still not convinced it is the SSD so I don't want to edit the registry just yet. Can someone explain what the LPM fix is or does? Also is there a way to undo it if it makes the issue bigger?

    So my computer continues to freeze but almost always when I am playing music on itunes or watching video on amazon prime. It may have frozen one other time that I was not doing either of those but I don't remember. I am starting to think it is a graphics issue or something? Ram?

    Okay. I am almost certain now it is the AMD HD Radeon Driver. It finally gave me an error when it recovered this last time. However, when I look in the device manager it says the driver is installed correctly.

    The last time I uninstalled the driver it led to many other things. What is the easiest way to reinstall the AMD driver?
