PC was lagging and freezing when i did that test. does the same when i install new stuff or try to transfer files. Is there a fix or am i going to have to send it in for a replacement. Thanks in advance for advice.

How much space have you left on it?

Is it connected to a sata3 port?

Is AHCI enabled in bios?

Just says preparing. PC starts lagging and wont open firefox. Or takes forever to open other programs when I run it. same with AS SSD benchmark. First 4 months had no issues with it like this.

Might not be your SSD. Could be say your CPU overheating. If inside the case is dusty blow it out with compressed air.

Well the hdd runs at normal rates. I game on this build constantly and never overheated.

Did you ever figure this out? I have a PNY 120gb SSD that appears to have just failed when I tried to re-install windows 7 on a different SSD. At first my PNY SSD sort of worked but my computer kept freezing up when I did certain things and I couldn't do anything with that drive. My Bios will still recognize it but windows does not. It shows up in My Computer but there's nothing there. And I mean nothing, not that it's just empty. It says "E" drive then to the right is completely blank.

Sadly no. I've tried everything. I sent in an RMA since its only a year old. Waiting for a response with their department. 3 year warranty as long as you have the receipt or invoice.

Sounds like a faulty SSD. Is the firmware up to date? See http://www.thessdreview.com/daily-news/latest-buzz/pny-updates-ssd-firmware-to-higher-performing-505-lsi-sandforce-release/

From what I've read, PNY should have about 500mb/s read speeds and 250 mb/s write speeds
