EugenF Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 After the firmware update and reinstall of Windows does the sleep issue still appear? If it still does then Submit an RMA. Yes, after firmware update to 2.4 I made a fresh install of Windows7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EugenF Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 In fact I secure erased F115GB2-A before updating to 2.4 firmware. After secure erase and fresh install of Win7 I noticed an beter scores in AS SSD Benchmark but only sleep problem remains (the rest was OK - hibernating etc). Here are the steps I used to made a clean install of Win7: - boot on Win7 DVD and click repair your computer...use recovery tools..command prompt -> diskpart -> select disk 0 -> clean -> create partition primary align=1024 => format quick fs=ntfs -> active -> exit -> exit. - boot on DVD and install Win7 -> Custom advanced ..select partition I created before. Installed Intel Chipset Version 9.2.0.1030 + Intel irst 10.6.0.1002 +Win7Vista_64_151718-GS45 Express Chipset. But the sleep problem still here. PS -Secure erasing was made with Parted Magic -Erase Disk -as external disk- because on internal option I got a message "The SECURITY_ERASE command cannot be performed". So I put the ssd on an usb interface from an external usb hdd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it still have sleep issues. I will return it to my shop and get my money back. I dont have any time to spent for playing around with this F115.

Toasted Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 The SSD speeds are normal. Probably the chipset in the laptop has compatibility issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EugenF Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 In fact I found a lots of complains about sleep problem at intel mobile platforms on diferent ssd brands (an employer form another ssd producer aknowledge that is a real issue and it isn't solved) regarding ssd stata II + Sandforce 1200 series controler. The nasty thing is that sleep problem with Sandforce 1200 is around from at least an year. I think it wil remain unsolved!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeuszeus Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I had not enough time to test firmware v 2.4 my F60 totally hang up before update.That happened after hibernation, it never restart and it is no more detected by bios neither if I try to use un external usb bridge on others PCs. On my PC , I have to wait about 2mn before bios said it is a "tape unit". Is there someone facing that kind of situation ? That smells the RMA !

You can try contacting Intel telling them there are problems with the chipset and SSD.

EugenF Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Here is some more infos about F115 (for Technical Staff): In Linux Parted Magic 6.7, after resuming from sleep (suspend), the system waits long time - about 30 sec - and after that, F115 disapeared (no BSOD like Win7 sic! - Linux is more robust). So Windows 7 has nothing to do with this bug. F115 didn't make a valid wake from the sleep state (maybe chipset is guilty who knows). I whish you a happy day!

sstouffer Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Unfortunately I can also confirm that the sleep bug is still there with firmware 2.4. I've secure-erased twice and re-installed windows twice and haven't had any luck. My motherboard doesn't allow installation of the RST drivers, so I can't test different versions of those, just using the built in MS ahci driver. I haven't had the issue of my computer not detecting the SSD - yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EugenF Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I think there is a hardware problem with Force Series. It exists faulty ssd in a small percent (I hope) and IT SHOULD BE REPLACED. Don't waist your time on fiddeling the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0kewl Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Just question what drivers people using ? i just noticed little part in the 2.4 firmware update thread. For Intel based users, the update may not work with the Intel 10 series storage drivers. If you have issues with this update and you are using the 10 series Intel storage drivers, revert to the 9 series or use the Microsoft AHCI driver. in yellowsbeard post i think if this matters then it should be highligthed and bold red leters so people dont forgot to read that part it would't suprise me if indeed fix bsod for most. im doing a cleaninstall now but oldest drivers if found where 9.6 so hope thats old enough just tryit using oldest driver i could find and i get bsod. no intel rst driver no bsod trying 10.0.06.1022 now probaly bsod again. no intel rst drivers and write performance and read performance takes a little hit. bsod again ;| Hurry up fix it already we did't buy your ssd's because we never use sleep mode. hmmmm again bsod with microsoft ahci driver also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Most likely compatibility issues. You are running the SSD on a fairly old Chipset. Try finding a modded BIOS (for your motherboard) with a newer ICH9 ROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0kewl Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Still no bsod obviously after i moved ssd from sata port 1 to another. i do wonder tough if this is normal on-the-fly ecc uncorrectable http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/152/wtfir.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meyer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hy I just upgraded my System with a Force GT. I know that i would not reach full speed because I am having only SATA II compatible mainboard. Still I was not expecting Bluescreens and freezes. I updated the drivers as described and set the bios to AHCI and the drivers are all on there, including latest AMD drivers, latest Bios update and all. Now my question is if my hardware is compatible or not? I really dont want to wipe my ssd and all of that if that is not resolving the issue. And I would like to know a few things, that are definitely discussed before but i cant find them. if someone could point to the right threat would be great: 1. Why is the system freezing? 2. Why are bluescreens showing up? 3. Is there a system configuration that is "error proof"? (I am thinking of upgrading the rest of my system) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I am thinking of upgrading the rest of my system) 1. The system may freeze because of incompatibility or outdated drivers/bios/firmware. 2. Bluescreens show up when the Windows detects a problem. 3. Hardware is cannot be 100% perfect. They can fail their advertised specs or have a shorten lifespan. Have you tried updating the SSD firmware? The latest is 1.3.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried updating the SSD firmware? The latest is 1.3.3 Yes i updated to 1.3.3. I of course know why there are Bluescreen in general. Of course there cant be a perfect system i know that myself but there seems to be compilations that are in general error free. So there is no specific reason why windows is freezing on an sdd, i never had that problem on an hdd. As you can see in the picture my Benchmark results are really bad. My system boots a little faster but otherwise i cant make out big diffrences and this cant all come from SATAII. Its interesting that it reads quite fast but dose not wright faster then a normal hdd. Is there a way to speed that up without erasing Windows. I did all the little things like deactivating superfetch and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
