Weird results you got there Logun.

Powersavings/antivirus/windows update/other activity could be the root of the issue?

After a month or so of BSOD's I seem to have it stable at last, so here is the benchmark of my Force3 120GB. Do these look OK?

I did this one after turning off Norton av.

Looks like you're running your CPU with the higher C-states like C3-C6 enabled. It is known, on Gigabyte boards at least, to slow down SSD performance considerably. It is also required for the CPU Turbo mode to work correctly tho, but seeing you chose the 2500k I assume you're overclocking so you're probably not using Turbo anyway.

To get the full performance on my Gigabyte board I usually keep C3-C6 disabled. The CPU will use a bit more power during idle (~6w) and turbo won't work, but I'm overclocking anyway and not using it, so it's a small price to pay in my book. You could try it out and see how it works for you :)

Thanks for the reply FoLmEr,

These are with the C3 & C6 disabled

That's more like it :)

No prob, glad to help!

Powersavings/antivirus/windows update/other activity could be the root of the issue?

Powersavings was set to high performance

All Windows updates were completed and several restarts done - including a fresh restart only for the purpose of a clean slate before each benchmark

The only other thing it could possibly be would be Norton AV running in the background, that would be all

Nice improvement, Willyeckerslike!

jeroompje, awesome results in AS SSD Bench. Good setup. Memory and CPU overclocked?
