BSODs (various types) after installing Crucial M4 SSD drive :(
Hi all,
I recently replaced my standard 3.5" rotary HDD with a Crucial M4 Solid State Drive (SSD). Within a day or two of doing so, I started to have blue screen errors randomly. After checking the RAM was OK with MemTest86, I decided it was likely the HDD to be at fault and perhaps corrupting data to/from the disk. I had the drive replaced by Crucial with a brand new one. However despite never having had blue screens with my old rotary disk, I'm immediately getting BSODs again now that I've put the SSD back in. I don't know if this is just a bad coincidence or if the SSD really does have something to do with it. I've even tried changing the cable to the drive. Is it worth an OS reinstall? I'm trying to avoid this as it's my work computer and I would have a LOT of software and tools to reinstall due to being a software developer.
I've attached the minidumps (and other files recommended by the forum sticky) in case it helps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
