Question SSD crashing a week in

[armycameron]

I bought a 500gb Samsung SSD in December,I installed windows and some games,that’s about it. I have been reciving atleast 20 BSoDs or random freezes a day usually after a week on installing windows. For a week or sometimes even 2 it’ll be fine before I start getting more and more BSoDs by the day and eventually I will get a CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED everytime I boot forcing me to reinstall windows. I have reinstalled windows about 8 times now and there is nothing else I can do. I have updated drivers,installed windows updates, changed power settings and yet nothing has worked. Seriously need help ASAP, thank you for your time.

Specs?
Doesn't sound like an SSD issue.

If you suspect the actual drive, Samsung Magician.
Run the Perf Benchmark, and also look at the SMART results.

But it probably is not the drive.

 

[USAFRet]

Give us a full listing of ALL the parts in this system.

AS USAFRet said, probably not the SSD - but could be.
All your equipment must have a warranty, you need to list specs

My bad, I also ment to mention I didn’t have these problems until I installed my ssd, pc goes as follows:
Cpu:AMD Fx-4350
Mobo: ASUS M5a97 LE R2.0
Ram:ddr3 8gb @1700
Gpu:Radeon Rx 460
Storage:1tb barracuda for mass storage,Ssd for game and OS
Psu:750watt evga bronze

Then it may be a faulty drive.
Run the above mentioned tools, and contact Samsung.

When you installed the SSD was it a clone operation from your existing drive?

Try a full/clean reinstall with a new or at least known good SATA data cable...and perhaps in a different SATA port

You might also try running Memtest86....

 

[USAFRet]

As far as I know AMD refuses to meet the SATA requirements when manufacturing its motherboards. There fore that could be compatibility issues with the 860 EVO.

You have some documentation on this? Anything at all?

Now that I would love to see... I think that's just a bold face lie.

you did not change the deafult ahci settings in bios also the ssd is set as first boot device and on the first sata port on the board and since you have a os on the hdd you must unplug it to set boot ine of the ssd for a complete boot they run in conflict since both have a os .
