I've been experiencing constant crashes since "upgrading" to a solid state drive back in November. The system will simply freeze up, mouse will become unmovable, and no key strokes will be recognized. If music/media is playing the last milisecond or so will loop (the kind of sound you would normally hear on a crash). I must then re-boot.
My Specs
ASUS P5E-VM HDMI
Q6600 @ 2.4 (problem persists with or with out OCing)
8 GIGs of DDR2 ram @ 800mhz
GEFORCE GT 560 (manufacture: Zoltan)
WINDOWS 7
SSD: Kingston SSDNow V100 128 gigs/Kingston SSDNow V200 128 gigs (Sata Port 1)
HDD: Western Digital HDD in Sata Port 3
Possible Causes/Observations
The crash will happen almost immediately if I try torrenting anything. I've tried 4 different BT clients (uTorrent, BitTorrent, BitLord and Bit Spirit) and all crash within about 10 minutes. If I'm not torrenting the crashes are MUCH less frequent, but do ocasionally occur. Seems to be a network issue of some sort. Using Atheros L1 network driver so the solution suggested in this thread doesn't seem to be an option (http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=70312)
Stuff I've Tried
Tried RMAing the drive (v100) and got the new model, v200. No change
Fresh install of windows 7 on the new drive. No change.
Tried running in safemode w/ networking. No change
Tried disconnecting standard HDD (torrents were downloading here, thought maybe there was an issue with the SSD working off another HDD so disconnected and made a download folder on the SSD drive). No change.
Tried changing SATA ports. No change.
I'm really running out of ideas here. Getting pretty frustrated as well. I have another windows install on my standard hard drive and don't have any of these issues on that one, so the problem definitely has to do with the SSD. Any help is greatly appreciated!
