Dae314 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Check the connection on your DVD drive, but more importantly, the blue screens. That sounds a bit like a memory problem, but it's hard to be sure. Try running http://www.memtest.org/ on your computer for several hours (over night is nice) and see if your memory's giving you problems.It could also be a virus ^^; Get MalwareBytes, AVG, or whatever your favorite anti-malware program is and give your computer a scan. Even if you have security software already on your computer, just get a second one and do a full scan to see if it catches anything your current security didn't get.

JohnFlower Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 it could also be outdated ssd firmware. i've had similar problems with ocz ssd's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†An IP BreAKDoWN Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Sounds like its a memory issue, you can use Parted Magic on a live cd to check, which is generally more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

†An IP BreAKDoWN Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) iirc all of the OCZ firmware updates are destructive with your data, you should see if it needs an update though since that will more than likely increase your speed, if not also fix your issue.

Wise Wolf Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 no errors found passed ram test what should i do with the firmware updated sounding like an idort here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 check this page out: http://www.ocztechnology.com/ssd_tools/ (you need the "OCZ Toolbox" for your drive)read the warnings. no guarantee you will keep your data, and i cant say for sure this will even fix your problems... but it's worth a shot. just backup any important data you had on the ssd and away you go. the new way of updating is like using a stripped down OS, so it is pretty easy to figure out.
