Hi people,
I need to tap into some vast knowledge and experience beyond my own. I very recently purchased a Corsair P256 SSD Drive in SATA, of course. I saw a lot of good reviews about it but I also read a lot of topics about how some SSD drives can have lots of failures or massive slow downs over short periods of usage.
I received my SSD by mail last night and installed it today at 4pm, it is now 9:30pm and my computer has frozen twice. The first time was during an online flash game, the screen froze and the sound freaked out a bit and went off. After waiting 2minutes I saw nothing was moving so I reboot. Now just a few minutes ago I was very excited to install and play a high caliber game with this drive, but shortly after starting a game of Need for Speed Underground, the same freeze happened.
Are there any known issues about those drives causing instabilities? It seems like everything else in my computer tower worked just fine before I installed this SSD.
Before you assume, I must specify that I installed windows 7 64bit on this SSD drive, and I have two other harddrives, regular 7200rpm types. I use them for storing files that I don't want to lose everytime I re-install windows.
Specs:
AMD Phenom2 x4 3.2ghz
Asus M4N
Corsair XMS 2 800mhz 4x 2GB
XFX GTX280 (x2 SLI)
Auzentech Prelude X-Fi soundcard
Ultra X3 1000watt PSU
Corsair P256 SSD @ 256Gb
Seagate 500G 7200rpm
WD 1TB 7200rpm Caviar Black
Please Help!
