Force 3 60 GB daily bsod

Mmmh yeah welcome to the club. I've had this disk for about 20 days now and since day 2 I've been experiencing freeze ups sometimes leading to BSOD's. My system is stable, this problem is cause of the disk and so far there is no _REAL_ solution to the problem (just look in this section of the forum...)

Going to try and get my money back but I'm not sure if I can return it since it's been a while since I bought it.

I think there is compatibility issue with your laptop.

Sandforce controller is known for lots of compatibility problem.

I have Force3 60GB in my Asus N61JQ laptop with Intel HM55 chipset, and it works beautifully. I was lucky enough not to be one of them with detection problem, sudden disconnection, BSOD, or sleep/hibernate issue. My firmware is 1.2.

But I have to buy my 2nd SSD for my desktop, I think I'll buy different controller this time. I can't be lucky all the time.

I hope I can fix mine, Ill try and fix it for 5 more days and then return it if I can't. ...I don't want to keep trying if its a disc problem though

I've managed to get some stability doing the following ( 10 days without BSOD until now ):

 

1. Ensure that you have HotPlug set to disable in BIOS ( take a look in the BIOS, but usually notebooks have very limited options )

2. Uninstall IRST & Intel Management Engine ( take care as Microsoft has released an update which includes Intel Management Engine drivers - I manually uninstalled the driver from the Device Manager after noticing the update )

3. Restart PC & let Windows revert to MsAHCI & find your drive(s); after Windows found everything reboot again

4. Apply this reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci\Controller0]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci\Controller0\Channel0]
"TreatAsInternalPort"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci\Controller0\Channel1]
"TreatAsInternalPort"=dword:00000001

5. Reboot and run WEI; reboot again

Soundwise, I'm not impressed with the Altec speaker in N61. It's a little better than standard laptop. The speaker in N53 should be better than N61. People say it has better clarity than N61.
