Samsung 850 Evo is Frozen

[h2tahoe]

In a never ending pursuit of power in my desktop I decided a week ago to upgrade from my Kingston hyper x (120GB) to a Samsung 850 EVO (240GB). Every time I went to install a driver or program the computer froze, I even left the computer sit for hours without anything happening, still frozen. Now about 1min after post beep the computer freezes with out cause.
I am running a psu with 720W, an Intel I7-4790K, 16gb of ram and a sabertooth board, with other parts of course

im working on it. reset and reinstalled drivers and began freezing after the mobo drivers installed. so im going to update bios once i find a flash drive. darn more efficient means of storage for me loosing all of my flash drives.

After an update or just a reset of the BIOS, you need to set it all up correctly again. Especially the memory speed and timings. Don't know what MB you have but normally booting into BIOS and setting optimized defaults (called other things depending on the board) then enabling XMP (for Intel based boards) then setting profile 1 which sets the mem speed & timings correctly.
