Bluescreens and MP crashes with new SSD (1 Viewer)

[henning]

Hi,

just switched my Client1 from HDD to a Cruical M3 (FW 000F) 60GB SSD and Win7 64Bit Home Premium. Using MP 1.2.3. with this system, it leads per 3h usage in the mean to

- 1-2 Bluescreens with System restart
- 1-2 closures of MP itself without any message or warning

I don't know what to add here that could be helpful. Hope that anybody has an idea how to improve this behaviour. I'm quite disappointed with the new hardware so far.

Cheers

Hi,

First, check in the Bios if you have validated AHCI (on chip sata type). If validate, change to ide.
Save and test.
I have installed SSD, you can read my thread (#19) here:

A Crucial M3 shouldn't cause an issues. I recommend them a lot for friends for their MediaCenter. To my experience they don't show the Sandforce problem a lot of people experienced last year. If you have a Marvell and Intel SATA chips on board connect the SSD to the Intel one. It's faster.

Can you give me the details of the BlueScreen?

Also you might simply suffer from a defective SSD in regards to the memory chips. It's known to happen quite often in the last 12 months since HDD prices went up and SDD prices went down. Manufactures start to push out more low quality chips to keep up with the demand.

Thanx for your answers.

atlantic: IDE disables TRIIM, doesn't it? And as far as I understand out of your posting, you also recommend AHCI. Sorry my French isn't good enough to understand your post and all the link's content. So why should I disable AHCI?

Scythe42: I will check the controller type of my Dell Optiplex755. How can I get more info about the BlueScreen? It disappears after a very short time and the PC restarts.

Keep AHCI on!

To disable automatic reboots after a BSOD:

control panel -> system and security -> system -> advanced system settings -> startup and recovery settings -> uncheck 'auto restart' box.

There will be an error message with a longer hex string that indicates where the error is coming from. I expect the SATA or AHCI driver, but you never know. This line will be enough. All the registers are not needed.

Of course, if you disabled AHCI, the TRIM doesn't work.
But it's just a test. If you don't have BSD with AHCI disabled that means that your Seven's AHCI driver is not correctly installed.

Your french is not good? My english too!!!

Ok, understand your intention Will try it and give feedback. Today after 3h Mediaportal there was no BSOD at all In principle I should be happy about it, but right now I'm not...

@Skythe42: Changed the setting and am waiting for BSOD(s).

When you installed your ssd, did you do a fresh install of seven or did you do a ghost install of your old hard drive?
A fresh install is the best.

Fresh and brandnew SSD with brandnew Win7 Maybe everything was so brandnew that it has to mature al little bit

I had the same issue, regular BSOD with reference to the disk. I found out the the SATA cable did not clip onto the SSD and it lost its contact every once in a while. So I fixed the cable to the SSD with some adhesive tape and now it works fine.
