I bought a Samsung 850 EVO 120GB SSD about a month ago. I installed Windows 8.1 x64 Pro on it, and since then my PC is almost useless because I get all sorts of BSODs (currently at 20) which weren't present with an HDD.
Specs:
- mobo: ASRock P55 pro (2.60 BIOS)
- CPU: Intel i5-650 (@BCLK 160 because of the RAMs)
- GPU: VTX3D HD6790 1GB
- RAM: Kingston HyperX Blue DDR3 1600 2x8GB
- HDD: Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB
- SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 120GB
- DVD: Asus SATA DVD-RW
- Tenda W322P+ PCI Wi-Fi adapter
The drive controller is set AHCI with Hot-Plug but I tried IDE with Enhanced setting but didn't made any difference. The VGA uses the latest AMD 14.12 Omega driver and the on board audio is using the latest hd audio driver from Realtek anything else is from Microsoft.
As you see there is an Overclock on the CPU but I tried with default clock and I still got BSODs.
I checked the temperatures, but everything is OK. CPU after 1 hour stress test was about 60° C. The VGA after 1 hour stress test was 75° C.
I run HHD sentinel tests on the WD HDD but that returned OK, the Samsung Magician shows that the SSD is Good and is using the latest firmware.
Today I got a BSOD while working and after reboot I got immediately a Critical Process Died BSOD. When I tried to set Windows back to an earlier date it told me that that the system protection must be enabled, but it was enabled for ALL partitions. I was able to set it back with a few tricks, but this is still annoying.
I tried to post my problem on the MS forum but the only answer I got was to uninstall Avast because one of the BSOD was connected to Avast. Anyway I tried uninstalling Avast, but it didn't made any difference.
Is there anything I can try to get rid of these BSODs?
A few of the BSODs are from the AMD VGA driver, so I installed the latest beta diver, but still I'm getting BSODs, but since then I'm not getting any VGA driver related BSODs.
here are the BSODs since I changed the VGA driver.
