My original hdd was failing so I have changed it with a new SATA 2.5" SHDD Seagate Firecuda, 2TB.
I have installed Windows, applied all updates, but every few seconds the pc freezes for 1-2 seconds.
I have updated all drivers, checked memory, used the HP Support Assistant Tool, applied everythin found in Google (turned off link state power management, disable caches, etc.).
Don't know what else I can do.

@luis_perezm,
I reviewed your post and I understand that the computer is freezing after replacing the hard drive.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
I see that you have installed a higher capacity hard drive on the computer and it might be causing the issue. I recommend you check with a 500GB or 1TB hard drive.
Also, run a system test following the steps in the below article to make sure that there are no hardware issues.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
