Hey guys, I will try and keep this brief for now.. I tried following a few guides to overclock my i5-4670k and nearly all of them said I should update my BIOS to the most recent version first. I'm fairly new to both OCing and updating the BIOS...
Here is my rig
I updated the BIOS via USB, pretty straightforward, but now am having huge issues with my SSD
- I'm getting pretty much constant stuttering when playing games that are on my SSD, even though my in-game counter reads over 140FPS.
- I for some reason, now have the option to eject my SSD via the task bar, which I never had before.
- One of the games I play regularly, I sometimes switch between windowed mode and windowed full-screen - the switch used to happen instantly when I changed the option, but now it sits at a black screen and takes 10-15 seconds.. and sometimes the game just crashes altogether..
- I'm not sure if this UserBench test helps either.. Why does it say my SSD is excluded?
- My SSD doesn't show up in CrystalDiskInfo, but shows up in the Crucial Storage Executive software and shows good health...
- When I pull the SSD up in device manager, it seems like it's just using default Microsoft drivers and a bunch of information is missing
-In device manager, the SSD is showing as an 'SCSI Disk Device'..
It really just seems like my hard drive isn't being recognized properly or something, basically everything on my SSD feels like it's taking longer to load..
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? It seems obvious I screwed something up but I have no clue what and I'm kind of afraid to go back and try to update the BIOS again. Is there a way to troubleshoot this or do I need to just try updating the BIOS again? My RAM and CPU speeds seem to be normal and It says I'm still on the same version of my motherboard as I was previously, so I'm not sure why there would be a problem..
The PC is acting like everything is working/connected properly, for the most part, but I spend enough time on it to be able to tell that something is up... Thanks in advance
