Computer Crashing No Reason

[zachparr2442]

So i crashed randomly throughout the week and i was starting to think my whole system was falling apart. So i stress tested using Aida64 and it crashed after about 4hrs, this was oc and memory at stock settings. So i thought well maybe the ram so i swapped my ram with my wifes and the same thing happen. So i put mine back in and just started playing games. Week few hours later computer froze up and crashed. So what i did was pull up the event viewer and looked at the time and it said Disk event id 51. So i was like wth is my ssd bad, i downloaded the samung magician and the firmware was out of date. Now i just stressed the system and the ram for 10hrs and 0 crashes.

Question is, is it possible to have a system not stable due to the SSD firmware being out of date?

Hello zachparr2442. As to answer your question, outdated firmware could possibly be the catalyst of this situation even though it is not common scenario. As you have a Seagate HDD, we recommend running our free Seatools software to check on the health of your drive and just be on the safe side that the drive is not causing this situation.

Maybe is a Sata conection problem. Check the sata connection is firmly placed. Try another sata cable. Try another sata port.
