Samsung SSD 850 EVO failure ?

[lettinjsh]

Well.I Just recently bought Samsung 850 EVO + New Windows installation disc. After many tries to install on it, I failed. Felt like it is just not accepting the installation, by complainig that there can't be found a necessary drivers to continue.. wth just unboxed original WIN 7 64 HP. OK, maybe installation problems. Then i decided to clone my HDD to it. Yay it worked fine, took some time to clone nearly 400GB, but it was running ( was happy that ssd is not broken and actually I can get a windows on it) , but trying to play the games (actually thats why i bought it), my happiness blurred away. Had couple of games cloned with the Windows from my HDD, such as battlefield 4, CS:GO, ESO. All of them was glitching like hell and showed 5x times less FPS. Like for example, CS.go where i usually had 200 FPS, now i have 20-50 + it freezes like every two miliseconds and the same happened/was infeced with the source HDD and to games on it. I used Original Samsung software - Data Migration and Data Magican. Can someone help, please ? (PC details: CPU: FX8350 @4 Ghz, RAM: 16 GB 4x4 Fury 1866, GPU: ASUS Radeon R290x, MB: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0

Welcome to Tom's Hardware, lettinjsh!

I think that you've most probably missed to configure the BIOS settings for the SSD when you were trying to clean install Windows onto it. I'm glad to hear the cloning worked out though! However, it's highly recommended to perform a clean install of the software programs, drivers and games after the cloning process. I'd recommend you to take a look at these tutorials and make sure you've followed those steps when configuring the storage upgrade of your system.
