Weird problem(s) with SSD

[Guest Gazzer96]

This is going to be quite long and boring to read...

 

I am currently using Windows 8.1 Pro and I am having problem with the 512GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD - when moving from one place to another on the same drive I get around 10MB/s - 100MB/s most of the time and some times it can be KB/s. I used Crystal Disk Mark to check the speeds and they were around 350MB/s on read and write. I checked Samsung Magician and it says AHCI is disabled, but I checked the BIOS and AHCI is enabled. Then it hit me. I must have put the SSD into a 3Gb/s slot *derp*.  changed it to a 6Gb/s slot, but that just made things worse...

 

Normally it takes about 5 seconds to boot into the login screen, this time once 20 seconds has pasted I get a BSoD, then it keeps rebooting into auto repair, meanwhile the Linux distro was completely fine. I moved it back and everything seemed fine until I got into Windows - it was so slow that is struggled to switch back and forth from the start menu and the desktop. after 2 mins everything I tired to open while on the start menu just started all at once with the error 'Remote Procedure Call Failed'. I tried restarting normally, but it couldn't open the setting menu, so just pressed the reset button. After the restart it did the same thing again, only this time after the errors it worked perfectly normal, until I attempted to restart a second time when Windows Host Process refused to close.

 

I again, plug the SSD into a 6G/s slot which just takes me back to square one. Not sure what to do, I did a system restore which did nothing. I tried refreshing the PC, but apparently the drive needs to be unlocked. At that point I have no idea what to do, apart from reinstalling Windows though I really would prefer to avoid that option.

 

Help will be appreciated!

Hmm.. I don't think this is going to help but try running the OS optimization from Magician.

I've already done that.

Likely missing drivers or they need to be updated or reinstalled.

I uninstall the drive for the SSD and then switched to Sata 3. I still get the same problem.

try reinstalling chipset drivers, you shouldnt need storage ones since your on ACHI as they are included with the chipset. Did you try forcing trim on samsung's software?
