    Yes, the minidump properties tab goes haywire whenever I try to open the security tab.. It only started happening after I followed the steps to turn on Driver Verifier. I will try to regain rights to the folder, if that doesn't work I'll try deleting/remaking, then CHKDSK /R

    edit1: security tab opens now, and it shows that I have all permissions allowed throughout the system, user and admin settings...I am going to try to turn off Driver Verifier to see if my minidump folder is back with its contents. Computer is noticeably laggy during system processes sometimes, a lot more than ever before.

    Computer is now slower than a 4 year old computer with lower specs... Tab switching in Firefox and Chrome is so laggy, and this translates to my programs/multitasking...Please help . I haven't BSOD since last time, but I feel that something somebody made me do in the previous posts has messed up my laptop. If there is anything I should try please let me know!

    I feel like it is a driver problem... All of this started when I installed my new SSD. Thanks :/

    Check it, do you have Driver verifier enabled by any chance till now? If so, disable it, now!

    TDSSkiller came back clean. Windows defender seemed to be a bit unnecessarily complicated, so is it possible to just run a malwarebytes scan?

    edit: sorry for the atrocious grammar

    It's evident: replace your new drive. If you are getting instability issues as soon as you installed new hardware, that new hardware is bad. The file corruptions displayed previously show that, amongst other things.

    Btw, I looked up the drive name, and I don't see an Intel 540 series anywhere. I see a 520 series and an 840, but no 540.

    argh...I'm sorry it is a 520 series. I really don't understand how this happened...It's really irritating to spend a lot of money on a product and then have issues that are undiagnosable...I am not willing to give up though...Will try to keep updated. Thank you :/

    I think I see the problem then. This is a Sandforce controller drive. Sandforce controller drives are notorious for being very unstable and are wrecked with problems top-to-bottom. Same goes for OCZ drives. I would recommend avoiding Sandforce drives in the future unless you wish to gamble on it. You should RMA your drive if possible and either receive a refund on it to put towards a more stable item like a Samsung or Crucial, or try your luck by getting it replaced. You may need to have it replaced a couple times before you end up getting one that is somewhat stable.

    There must be something I can do -.- Why would they sell these drives if they are 'wrecked with problems'... I don't understand how a drive can be so horrible
