bastic Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hey, Ive searched forum but couldn't find an answer to my problem. I bought a Corsair SSD few days ago. Installed fresh copy of win7 64bit. and from beginning I do get random resets have no idea what is the cause of it...until I got BSOD with error 24 so its file system error... have tried sfc, chkdsk...chkdsk found some errors but it still is happening :( so thought I will update firmware and later re install OS. MOBO is brand new as well with AMD controllers. So this ssd is my boot/OS drive now.set to AHCI I run update , choose right file, click proceed and then just get red cross on icon of ssd on left hand side. any ideas why this wont update ? next step is to get something like Hiren's boot CD and try to update from there but it shouldn't be necessary ? any ideas what can stop it from updating ? am not saying that resets are ssd fault, but if it wont update, maybe it is ? thanks for any advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Uninstall the AMD chipset drivers and when you reboot it should automatically install the Microsoft ones. It has worked for some users with Firmware update problems on an AMD chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBski Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I am having the same issue as the o.p. I tried to uninstall the AMD drivers, and download the MS drivers. This to did not work. I tried the latest AMD AHCI drivers for Win 7 64. still didn't work. I'm on an 890FX chipset, with a JMicron SATA Controller, will I have to do this on a different machine?

philharmonik Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have AMD system as well. If you have another computer, I would try updating there. Im on the 890FX chipset also, except my SATA controller is SB850. I had to update in my other computer. Update went fine. Just make sure you run as administrator.

Try it on an AMD controller and see if it updates. If not, then do what philharmonik said. If it still did not work then RMA the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBski Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Is there some way to do this in Linux? I dual boot Ubuntu and Win 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bastic Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have no access to other PC...win7 is just finishing installing all updates and will give it a go again....if it wont help, and another fres install of windows will be crashing, will RMA the drive :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBski Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I took my SSD in to my office and used a different machine to update the firmware. My office machine uses the 880G chipset, and AMD AHCI instead of JMicron AHCI like my Asus board. We shall see if the new firmware makes a difference tonight when I get home. :) Here is an ATTO bench ran just after the firmware update. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd79/brownj255/CorsairForce3SSD.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently running on an install from a cloned partition off of a HDD, which has been moved at least twice while I was aligning the disk (first attempt installed to sector 63 instead of 4096, whoops!) Seems to be okay now, we'll see after I beat on it with some GTA IV, though I only experienced freezes while running either Firefox or Mincraft, usually when running both at the same time. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
