Intel X25M 160GB SSD Problem

Also, if you have not turned off the defragmentation I'd do so you don't want the drive derfragmented by Windows 7 or any defragmenting program. I have to ask even though you said it was a clean install, it wasn't through an image was it? Reason I ask is I initially setup my X25 160 SSD on my M17x using the image from the original 320Gb WD that was in it and had similar problems as you are now experiencing. Got to thinking about what was happening and that I was not experiencing it on the desktop which, while a different SSD, was loaded from the OEM DVD as a real clean install so I formatted the SSD ensuring it was clean then did a clean install with DVD and all my problems disappeared.

My Virtual Store Folder is Showing 106GB. Is this right? Can i disable Virtual Store or is there anyway to optimize virtual Store?

Can i delete a file called bstFFB9.tmp? This file is 106GB in size?

Any help?

Hi Steve,

No there are no games installed on the machine at all

Agree with Dave 76 and BareFootKid running Optimizer followed by a clean install is more than likely what is needed.

Thanks for all the replies and ideas ppl. As i mentioned earler, The intel SSD toolbox will not actually function correctly on this machine. Once i install it, it can scan and see the SSD drive but the buttons on the side are greyed out. All i can click on is the REFRESH and EXIT buttons.
