- When im saving or opening a Word documents, browsing to upload a file, the program freezes for about 10 seconds and then successfully saves the file. The computer freezes with any program attempting to open or save any file
- When attempting to search for programs like CMD on the start menu, the search never completes. However, after like the third try the search finally finds the program.
Fixes attempted - Under Windows Features i have enabled Indexing services, and Windows search.
- I have used the Find and fix problems with Windows search and it always says that no issues were found.
- Set index service to Automatic
- I have also rebuild the index with no luck.
Various Windows issues: Freezing during saving/opening, and slow sear

First and foremost, follow this guide for setting up the SSD for your system: Sean's Windows 7 Install & Optimization Guide for SSDs & HDDs
PS: Please skip steps for installing the operating system and drivers of course, as I assume all of that has been done.
Once you've done that, reboot 2 times and see if issue persists. Post back acknowledging that it is or is not still an active issue.

Hey PhrantiQ,
Thanks for the response and im glad to see that your also a GeekU Freshman .
Looking through the post you suggested when i did a little research on a few of those options i found that people actually gave the opposite advise. So i actually didn't do any of the fixes they showed cuz they didn't really pertain to my problem, i felt. However, are there any of them that you particularly think address my issue?

- Disable or Shrink System Protection
- I like having system restore, it save me when ever I install a bad driver
- Turn off drive indexing
- I need indexing cuz my files aren't loading fast

How interesting. Didn't even notice you're a Freshman. Either way, if you didn't want to follow advice that could be reversed, then we'll skip it.
How new/old is the drive and how much use has it had? Also have you tried doing anything as simple as a SFC or checking the OS out?

The drive is about a year and a half old and i would say the computer is on about seven hours everyday. I don't run any heavy application just Word and web browsing primarily. I have run SFC and it found a few issues but both problems precisest.

So your OS has issues, possible corruption. You could look into something like Windows Repair (AIO - Portable) for running additional repairs. Also you may want to consider running the SSD through a test to see if it's at fault or losing valid space.

So I ran Tweaking windows last night but I haven't notice any improvement in performance. Tweaking widows also ran a SFC and it showed that not further problems where found with the OS. Is there a specific program to check my SSD or will chkdsk work fine?
