OK, so that seems like an I/O issue. My i7-4770 work system has a Samsung 860 EVO SSD and it can badly freeze sometimes in Edge browser. Doesn't happen in Firefox or Chrome. I'm guessing Edge does some heavy I/O for some reason which exposes a weakness in the 860 EVO's I/O handling capability. I definitely do not trust Samsung for anything important. I'm only using it coz I kinda "stole" it (was meant for some other user but he didn't care or bother asking about it so I just put it in my work PC and started using it).Another issue I'm getting is lockups/freezes on desktop when opening a window or app the the System will freeze and stutter for a split second
Definitely get a cheap 256GB SSD from Crucial, Kingston, Silicon Power or WD for testing. Install Windows on it and the few games you regularly play and see if the stuttering goes away.
