    Well, it's been 16 days without a crash, a new record. I am running off an old 250GB standard HDD and all is well. This leads me to believe it was the SSD.

    I have run every test I could find on the SSD, no errors. This jives with the fact that it would chug on for 3-7 days without error.

    I am going to find another place to post questions about the HDD, but this is the last, Big Question:

    Is this a hardware error or a software error? My drivers were all up to date, or so I believe. Is there a specific driver that could be faulting with the SSD and not the non-SSD? I didn't think I needed anything special for it.

    The drive is a Corsair FORCE Sata3 120GB drive (CSSD-F120GB3)
    The SSD may be the cause, a new firmware update might resolve your problem.

    Does the Corsair FORCE Sata3 have SandForce controller?

    They are having BSoD issues, try a firmware update.

    RMA if possible.

    I updated the firmware on the SSD, ran 8 days and then crashed. I'll be replacing it today and doing an RMA. This is my second Corsair with issues.

    Sorry to hear the firmware update didn't solve the issue, hopefully Corsair will get this sorted out soon.
