BSOD - SSD or MOBO error?

[ba10s118]

Hi guys.

So first of, specs:

i7 920, oc @ 3.56 stable. corsair h50 cooler
msi big bang xpower x58
12gb ddr3 kingston value 1333
MSI PE gtx 660ti SLI

OCZ aglilty 3 120 gb as OS hdd
several other mechanical as storage.

First of my problem.

I recieve sometimes a BSOD, which is so fast, i cant see what the issue is.
Where can i find the error file ?

But after the BSOD my pc loads past the screen where it identifies the marvel controller, and by then it does not recognice my SSD.
Then i powered off the machine, and change sata port, and that worked for a day.
Today the same happend, and i changed sata port from the Marvel to the integrated ICH10(x58) and the pc worked perfectly for a few hours.

My first thought, well the SSD might be fryed.
I took out a working hdd from my nas, formated and installed OS on it.
I checked Diskinfo, and SSD-life with it.
This was my results:

Acording to these results, my SSD is perfectly fine...
So is it my motherboard that defected ? I'm abit confused here.

At the moment i will try running of the harddrive i know that is working well, and see whether i get a bsod.

But also where did i find the bsod error log ?

Many thanks for reading!
And please bare in mind that i did not spellcheck this, and english is not my main language.

Any other computer you can put the SSD in?

Yes i do have one i can try out, but that's on a lga 775, so would i have to format the ssd ?

[Godlygamer23]

You may have to.

[ba10s118]

Okay - I will try that

[monstaYOFACE]

test another SSD OR another sata plug. Those could be the main reason. Also make sure the drives/chipset don't heat up for some misterious reason.

I don't have another SSD.

I have though tryed 3 other sata ports and with different sata cables.

My drives is in the front of a haf-x with the 200mm fan enabled, so they are allways arround 30 degress celcius (85-87F).

I don't know about the temp for x58 chipset, but the nothernbridge (tmpin1) reaches 82 degree celsius (180F) idle.

Is there any software which i can use to stresstest the motherboard or system to maby reach that bsod again ?

is the ssd firmware updated? OCZ ssd's are known to cause bsods with out-of-date firmware

[colonel_mortis]

On the 2nd pinned post on the subforum ("Read before asking for help...") there is a description of where to find the dump files made by windows. Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump and upload the whole folder in a compressed archive (.zip) to the forum. That way, we can see what windows detected and therefore why it blue screened. If it's happening very fast, presumably it's during boot. Is it always then and how often does it happen?

Never mind about the dump anymore, I just checked minidump, and theres NO dumps for this month ? strange..

The bsod happens randomly, sometimes during photoshop, sometimes during web-browsing. The BSOD is fast, like 2-3 sec.

It's happend 3-4 times now within 2 days.

is the ssd firmware updated? OCZ ssd's are known to cause bsods with out-of-date firmware

I will try and update their ssd software

[ba10s118]

Firmware update failed.
During the update the connection to the device was lost, It's connected and cannot be seen from the Disk management after rescanning for disks.

Atm. I'm running OS from a 1tb mechanical, and the ssd is formated and connected.
THOU It says that the ssd is in good condition, but looses connection ?  Strange

The firmware is at 2.22, and the current firmware for the SSD is 2.25.

from OCZ webpage:

 

Release Notes Improvements since version 2.22

• Fixed the normalized value calculation for SMART Attribute 9 (Power-On Hours)
• Fixed a SATA error recovery sequence coming out of PS1
• Fixed an issue during SMART self-test extended that could cause an unexpected read error

Known open issues

• Formatting a RAID-1 Volume takes longer than expected with PMC Sierra BR-8 HBA

Situation so far, mechanical hdd seems stable.

formated SSD, reinstalled marvell drivers, tried to update the ssd, update failed.
Tried to use TRIM on the SSD, and lost connection to the SSD.

So I guess it's the SSD.

[Godlygamer23]

It seems that way.

[ba10s118]

Would there be a way i could stress the SSD on another machine to test it ?

[ba10s118]

Hi again - sorry for boughtering you so much about this.
But I've updated the firmware to 2.50, and when checking HD Tune Pro, this is what i get:


How do i read that warning ?

The reason i ask so much, is that if i send it back for rma and there's nothing wrong with it, i will have to pay over 100$ which is the same as a new SSD.

SMART can only detect some things, but it sounds like your flash might be fine but the controller or connection is malfunctioning. I would suggest that the highlighted lines are there because the drive failed and was therefore unable to complete the task that it was doing, but I'm not an expert on storage and SMART. I think if the mechanical drive is working fine you can deduce that the drive is at fault, but if you have another computer you could just try reading or writing a large file and see if it fails.

I've tried in a old 775 and my new ivybridge laptop.

Did like 10 read/write tests with different softwares.

Showed same error, but did not fault on me.

I'm currently using the ssd and testing it to see if theres any other errors occuring, and it restarted out of nowhere with no error log.

Tomorrow i will try and change my Sata cables.

[ba10s118]

After writing that post above, i just recieved this bsod.
I've enabled no restart after fail, so i can take a picture.

sounds like a bad drive... time to RMA it...

Danmit so many people tell me different things

I've disabled all my OC a few min ago, as someone suggested.

Someone says it could be my firewire port ?

And someone says it could be sli, ram and such..

IF i get the bsod again -> hashwell

well, it's not your SLI or your ram. if a harddrive partially d/cs whilst windows is running, it'll bsod. i've had it happen on a computer before. and I highly doubt that firewire has anything to do with it. your OC is a possible cause. but, since your SSd is fucking up on multiple machines, it's gotta be the ssd.

when you eliminate the impossible, whatever is left, no matter how improbable must be the truth.

[ba10s118]

Well i took this "bsod" as a reason for me to upgrade..

Just bought:
16gb Crucial Balistix Sp 1600 DC
4770k
Hyper evo 212
Asus z87 pro
Samsung 840 EVO 240

Sooo RIP old parts..

[colonel_mortis]

well I guess BSODs are good for something, even if it costs money. If you like we can continue to pin down the issue with the old machine, but if you're not using it there's no point. If you'd like us to carry on, there should now be a file in minidump. If so, upload it.
