Quick question I have and Cosair Force 3 SSD and in the last week or so the PC has started to just Freeze on me. Could this be a SSD fault showing it ugly head?
Jesus that writing is abit BOLD, had any error messages in event viewer? Or tested the health of you SSD?
Have you tried to download Corsair's SSD toolbox program, might be a firmware issue.

Hi, sorry for the bold font.
Nope as its just been very random some times I can have the PC on all day and it not freeze, but then like today I have had to reset the PC 5 times in the space of 1 hour.
What are the Health checks I can do?
Thanks for the help

I ahve seen this happen with a dodgy SSD but more commonly with wireless cards. Try disabling wireless networking.

As some of the other posts have mentioned make sure the SSD firmware is up-to-date and run a health check.

Give memtest86+ a try and see if you get any fails, it can take a while though so leave it running while you got to sleep.
**I would look into updating the firmware though if there is a newer version available**
