Computer Forum,
First off, nice to be back, I haven't been here in years!
So, I am having a problem I'm unable to solve. Recently, I had cloned my Windows 8.1 install from a 64GB Corsair SSD to a 128GB Kingston SSD, using Acronis. Since, I'm facing a lot of freezing. That is, every few minutes, the computer comes to a grinding halt, to the point where the mouse no longer moves at all. 30 seconds (or so) later, everything comes back, fully functional. A few minutes later, it might happen again.
I've come to the conclusion it is HDD related. In resources monitor, whenever it freezer, I can see the queue length of my main HDD go to 100%, and returns back to normal as soon as the computer unfreezes. I know a fresh install is almost always preferred over a clone, but for now, I want to avoid a reinstall.
I've done some research, and have seen culprits such as LPM, or alignment problems. I did run a registry file that some had recommended here:

I have also defragmented the disk. I disabled LPM from power options. I have tried a separate SATA cable, and a separate SATA port.
I have not, however, fully updated my BIOS, as I've failed to find a BIOS update for my mobo (XFX nForce 680i LT, BIOS version 6.0).
Can you guys help?
EDIT: This is an XFX nForce 690i LT
