I just did a new install of win7 on a brand new out of the box 840 evo 250gb. Now the OS seizes up quite a few times a day; sometimes even during idling my box will just hang. Is there something obvious that I missed, or did I get a lemon?
 
Could be a lemon, or it could be the motherboard. I would try changing ports that the drive is connected to.
 
Have you checked your event logs? Could be related to buggy power management. Same thing used to happen with my Crucial M4 drive until I updated the firmware and the problem went away.
