ATTENTION Crucial M4 SSD owners

[ICIT2LOL]

Yeah Gary I have installed Windows but now have a prob with the machine not being able to connect to the net telling me I don't have an adaptor?

Plus my Benq 24 has gone back to the old setting where there is an inch gap around the edge but I think thats a monitor adjustment - the adaptor bit has got me beat right now as the old drives had no problems.

Have you gone to your motherboard website and downloaded and installed the lan driver?

 

[ICIT2LOL]

No essenbe mate - but I will I just thought this would all be there from way back when I built the darn thing.

Nope didn't work I even tried Slim Driversto see what was going on. Wonder if the drive is ok or not.

John, with a new install you will need to download and install LAN (NIC), graphics, and maybe SATA3 drivers, they are all stored on the OS drive.
go to the manufacturers' site, don't trust Windows updates, but let then all install before getting new drivers.

Since transferring to the SSD I've found the Reliability Monitor index update hasn't updated. Anyone experienced this?

Having spent all day on this issue I would caution using the firmware upgrade on a new SSD prior to OS installation.
It could be an issue with Paragon's Migrate software but this doesn't appear to have been an issue with earlier Crucial M4 firmware.

 

[Britton30]

I updated both of mine, 64 and 128GB as a new drives and did a clean install on both without issues. I did have a problem trying to image the 64GB though, it would not boot with the image although it looked like the OS was intact.
I'm a firm believer in a clean install on SSDs.

Michael, this is a really strange phenomenon. It is hard to relate FW update to the Reliability Monitor, especially since nobody else seems to have that problem.

Maybe it was just a coincidence and something else in your system got corrupted at the time the FW was updated - I mean unrelated to it. Is that possible?

 

[Hopalong X]

My Reliability Monitor is also off on my Intel 320.

Don't know how long maybe since install last May or when I did FW upgrade who knows. I never check it.

Going to try this. Brinks tutorial.> http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/20779-reliability-monitor-reset.html
Restart PC after running bat file.
Brinks tut states up to 24hrs. before results show.

Snip after running the reset in tutorial above. At least it appears it is now turned on. Before it was just the graph layout with no entries or any signs of activity.
Read Yellow bar in Snip below.
It must have been turned "off" at some point.

Hope that helps.
Mike

Hmm, interesting. You guys have strange problems. And those are 2 different SSDs. I still think it has nothing to do with the SSD firmware upgrade. That is being done 'offline' without the OS even being involved. There must be some other bugger.

 

[Dave76]

Haven't had the Reliability Monitor off issue with two Intel G2 SSDs, updated firmware on both.

 

[Hopalong X]

Mine may not have been working since last May when I installed the SSD.

The only reason I tried "fixing" it is for MJF's benefit and future reference.

I have no use for it myself.
If I did I might have noticed it was broken the past 8 months.

 

[Britton30]

I checked mine and it is indeed running. The start time is about 24 hours after installing Win 7 on the SSD as a clean install

It shows Soluto stopped working due to faulting module cpuidsdk64.

Mike's system is quirky.

 

[essenbe]

Mine works too, and is working after updating the firmware.

Why thank you Mr. President of the Quirky club.

Well I'm not sure of the reason why but I found a probable solution for mine.
Will post when it updates.

I hope it works for MJF.

Thanks for checking on the Reliability Monitor.
I went and did the OS transfer manually aligning the partitions (sys res, C: ) using Macrium. Reliability Monitor appears to work fine so the Paragon Migrate software may be the issue. I checked the RAC agent settings etc. Maybe Paragon deliberately gets rid of it???????????:huh:

Edit: Clearly not an issue for most. IF Paragon responds to the issue I'll provide feedback - Thanks for yours Hopalong X.

Thanks Gary I have the LAN (from Gigabyte and the rev done but not the other drivers you mention will do that now

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Am up and running at ast none of the site downloads worked so as a try I reran my Gigabyte board disk and bingo here we are in SSD mode! Boy is it so much quicker except for the UAC to to desktop. But a minor hitch.

Now for my nemesis WLM I don't know what it is but it drives me mad every time I doa setup - use thesame ID and pw but it hasa mind of its' own.

 

[Britton30]

Good to hear that John, you will like the SSDs speed. for WLM, try a post here: Browsers & Mail - Windows 7 Forums

Paragon claim to have never heard of the problem.
My specs look quite normal so I will try again. I'll report back the results.
Update:
Trashcan for the Paragon Migrate. A little more effort using readily available free tools and it works.

Been helping another member with an M4 in C&Dbg, and used this thread for reference.

I looked through, and didn't notice that this was posted:
