turbo_911 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have Force 3 SSD drive that I bought last 2 weeks ago. It was working fine until today. I noticed that my browser keeps freezing time to time, especially when I try to view pictures. I restarted it and when I started using my PC, it was a bit lagging when I tried to open programs. I tried to browse internet and my browser froze again and then I noticed that my HDD light (in case) blinking like HDD is doing some work but it isn't doing anything, nothing is running. I restarted my pc again and just let it sit and saw that HDD lights keeps blinking for past hour. I decided to upgrade firmware to 1.3.3, and it still does the same thing, and I noticed in AS SSD and ATTO tests the write speed decreased by a lot. Can anyone help me to figure out what's going on? Is my SSD failing? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Have you tried the other suggestions in the .PDF file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_911 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 You mean as for Secure Erase and reinstalling OS? That's next on my list, but wanted to see if anyone else would suggest anything else beside that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Please read the .PDF. The first thing suggested is a BIOS clear. This is important and solves issues for a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_911 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 BIOS clear meaning taking out battery or updating to a newer version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Please refer to your motherboard manual for the exact procedure on how to clear your BIOS. It is sometimes referred to as clearing BIOS, clearing the CMOS, clearing (RTC) reat time clock, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_911 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 It didn't help, so I did secure ease SSD and then reinstalled OS with AMD drivers. So far it is running good (been running for 10 minutes), will report back if I see and freezes. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
