Windows 7: BSOD often when booting but also during use

gabeg · 20 Nov 2012

Tried clean install (Windows 7 x64) but still happening. Assume it's hardware related but really don't know. Thanks SO much for any help you can give.

Welcome aboard.

Take care of your 250 GB SAMSUNG SSD.

Update your SSD's Firmware
Re-seat the sata and power.
Run chkdsk /f, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check

Let us know the results.

Thanks! I should add that I was getting BSODs BEFORE I installed the hard drive. When I did the clean install, I added the SSD. But I will try as suggested.

Thanks again.

Now I am a bit sorry ... I am failing to reassemble there two statements.

I checked the connections and the firmware but didn't do the checkdisk and I still got BSOD. I sent a new dumpfile after the chkdsk (though haven't had a bsod in the brief time since the chkdsk).
