    [SOLVED] SMART Failure on Brand new SSD

    Thank you guys. It is an mSata drive. I will try unplugging it first, since it's fried anyway, that seems to be the simplest solution. If that doesn't work I'll try disabling it in the BIOS.

    [SOLVED] SMART Failure on Brand new SSD

    Except my samsung 860 Qvo has a main 1TB drive which only shows 3 days worth of power on hours, and a wear leveling count of 99 iirc. The driving showing 600+ hours is the little 32GB mini SSD (cache drive or whatever the hell you call it) that is built in to the 860 Qvo. This drive was...

    [SOLVED] SMART Failure on Brand new SSD

    So after reading the SMART values with both Speccy and Samsung Magician, the wear leveling count is equal to a whopping 1. That is definitely not right for a brand new SSD. It also has a power on hours value equal to over 600 days. Meanwhile, the main drive shows all normal values.

    [SOLVED] SMART Failure on Brand new SSD

    So long story short, I was on a fresh install of windows, which I had to re-install again due to other issues. I intended to do a fresh install off my USB, but accidentally ended up doing a restore through windows recovery or something, which was taking a lot longer. So when it was at about...

    Question (Fresh Install) Windows 10 Severe Lag and Issues on New SSD

    Okay so, I've narrowed it down I think. I THINK the problem is Realtek HD Audio driver doesn't like windows 10. After painstakingly uninstalling that driver, disabling my onboard sound in BIOS, then re-enabling it, somehow has fixed my problem. I believe my machine is using some sort of generic...

    Question (Fresh Install) Windows 10 Severe Lag and Issues on New SSD

    This PC is a frankenbuild, it was originally a Dell XPS 8500 desktop... but it has been highly customized since. Strangely enough, I'm pretty sure the 12GB RAM is still factory. The PSU is a Corsair CX750M. Current GPU temp: 31C Current CPU temps: all between 50-55C Edit: I guess for...

    Question (Fresh Install) Windows 10 Severe Lag and Issues on New SSD

    Downloaded it and ran a quick scan, everything is good. I'm doing the full scan now, but I don't expect it to find anything... this doesn't seem to me like an issue with the SSD. I believe it's a combination of either Windows 10 or my display drivers, and my hardware. I've had problems similar...

    Question (Fresh Install) Windows 10 Severe Lag and Issues on New SSD

    Hey guys, long story short I bought a 1TB Samsung SSD for my desktop, installed windows 10 through USB on my brand new SSD, and the system is lagging like crazy. My issue is that every second or so, my entire desktop stutters, the mouse cursor freezes in place, and all video freezes + audio...

    AMD ReLive Crashing on launch, and when editing options in Radeon settings

    Ok, so I just updated my AMD drivers and decided to install ReLive. I did a clean install, and have already reinstalled it cleanly multiple times. My problem is that ReLive crashes literally all the time. I'm in the Radeon control center and every time I click any option, change any setting, or...

    Constant crashing, freezing, bluescreens after Windows 10 Upgrade

    Hey guys, I'm making the first thread I've made on here in years because of this issue. Two days ago I "upgraded" to Windows 10. Since the moment it updated I've had constant issues. Immediately after the update I was experiencing short freezes lasting 1-5 minutes that happened about every 5...
