Arc - you're taking this a bit personally. All I said was that some of the advice you gave I had done. I'm not sure what the problem is. Anyway let me try to recall all the steps that I have taken and some of the tests that I have already carried out so that everyone is on the same page.
1. cloned corsair f60 ssd to samsung 840 evo.
2. took corsair ssd out. put samsung ssd in.
3. computer freezing occured. thought it was a problem with the cloning.
4. did a fresh install on the samsung 840 evo. Problem still exists.
5. put the corsair ssd back in and thought everything was ok. freezes occured including a BSOD.
6. cloned the corsair to samsung 840 evo.
7. put the samsung back in. problem still persists
8. checked sata and power cables.
9. checked for unseated ram.
10. updated the firmware on samsung ssd and updated the bios from F9 to F11.
11. installed intel rapid storage drivers.
Tests carried out:
Ran sfc scannow - no integrity violations found on Windows.
Ran TDSSKiller - no problems detected.
Hot cpu tester 4 - ran for 6 hours, no errors reported.
Windows memory diagnostic standard test - no errors.
Windows memory diagnostic extended test - no errors.
memtest86 5.01 - ran for about 7 hours 5 passes made - no errors.
Tests I haven't done include checking the power supply but may have found a way to do this by buying a power tester unit.
Temps 35 degrees celcius to about 45 degrees celcius for all cores at idle or doing browsing etc.
Gpu temps 30 degrees celcius at idle.
Temps after playing a game are usually about the 50s or sometimes nearly 60 degrees celcius for all cores on the cpu.
Similar temps with the gpu.
Hopefully that gives people an idea of the things that I have tried and I don't get repeat questions or advice. If you know anything else I should do then please say so.
