Samsung SSD 850 PRO 256GB BSOD and poor performance

Hto005

As you can see on the pictures, AHCI is enabled and I am using SATA 3.

 

I also get very often a BSOD with the message "INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED" and the error code 0x0000003D.

 

Windows 7 Home premium 64bit

Corsair Dominator ddr3 6GB

Asus Rampage III Extreme

2x Gtx 480s

 

Anything more you need to know, just ask!

 

EDIT: In the BIOS when looking at the Hard Disk Drives the SSD is recognized as an IDE... Do I have to reinstall and activate AHCI everywhere (there are 1 option for SATA 2 and one for the SATA3)

are you using a SATA 2 cable? i found that with one of my SSD's once I changed the cable out to a SATA 3, I was able to increase performance quite a bit

No... It's a asus SATA 3 cable, have tried switching cable but still no better result

hmmm, I just picked up the same SSD for my system, on an ASUS Sabertooth 990FX board, using the ASUS sata cables as well, and I'm getting about 520 read and 500 write, with the random read/writes a bit higher than yours...

 

I'm out of ideas now, so hopefully someone else can help more than me.. Sorry!

Click the button in Magician labeled S.M.A.R.T and post a picture of all that data.  Let's see if there is some other weirdness happening on the drive.

Hmm, I was expecting to see a high value for CRC Error Count if it were a bad SATA port/connector.  I know you mentioned trying a different cable but have you tried a different SATA port on the MB?  

 

Your motherboard has extra sata ports on it from Marvell and JMicro.  What colored port are you testing with in your system?  I'd normally suggest trying the gray ports so you're using the Intel controller from the X58 chipset.  

 

Edit...I posted too quick.  The X58 doesn't support SATA 3 (sorry)...so you must be using the Marvell controller (red connectors).  Are the drivers up to date with that controller?

Marvell® PCIe 9128 controller : *2
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), red

A quick google suggests at least one is person unhappy with that specific Marvell controller and SSDs.  I'm uncertain if this is your issue without further investigation but I'd start there and see.

I was about to mention about trying a different port, I just looked up the board, and saw there are SATA 2 ports on there as well. try using the red ports if you aren't already

There are only SATA cables - they're all the same. Only the port and the device will be generation 1, 2 or 3 - not the cables.

 

Make sure you use the correct SATA controller - on Intel boards, Intel ports, not Marvell or ASMedia or such.

 

 

EDIT: In the BIOS when looking at the Hard Disk Drives the SSD is recognized as an IDE... Do I have to reinstall and activate AHCI everywhere (there are 1 option for SATA 2 and one for the SATA3)

 

For you to get the full benefits of an SSD, yes, you need to be on AHCI, not IDE. But before you can change that in the BIOS and still boot into Windows, you need to make some changes in registry.

So that hit me in the face (...) I'll give you an update when I'm done reinstalling windows... (did so in hope that it would change from IDE to AHCI, but it did unfortunately not)

 

EDIT: oki, I'm fed  up, haha

my whole computer is 5 years old, time for a new mobo and cpu.

Any suggestions?

My budget would be around 3500 NOK, or 450 USD.

Location is Norway - I used the website www.prisguide.no when i bought the computer I have today

 

Is the asus Maximus VII Ranger - http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VII_RANGER/

and the i5 4690K - http://ark.intel.com/products/80811/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz

a good combo?

https://pcpartpicker.com/is a good resource for selecting parts but it might not be good for pricing and availability in Norway.

 

Are you looking to go Socket 1150 (Haswell | Z97) or Socket 2011 (Haswell-E | X99)?  I'm assuming 1150 because you'd otherwise have to buy new memory and it won't fit your budget.

 

Rather than buy a new MB and CPU, what about getting a decent SATA/SAS controller and add it into a PCIe slot?

hmm, the only controll card i found which had what i needed was Asus U3S6, http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/U3S6/and in the compatible models the Rampage III extreme wasn't there... 

I'm not keen on using a large amount of money on that kind of thing, but it wasnt a bad idea!

 

and btw, is my MB backwards compatible with the controller?

I didn't even know Asus made SATA adapters.  :-)  Usually as long as you have the supported PCIe slot (size and speed) and the controller has drivers for your OS it can work.  Limited searching suggests that the U3S6 uses a Marvell chip in it.

 

Oh well.  Maybe getting a new MB and CPU is the way to go.
