FIXED THANKS WAZZA!
















Hello,

I have a problem with the dreaded BSOD

It seems to happen randomly and of course I have restart switched off.

The disk is currently a crucial M4 SSD 64GB

I've tried the CHKDSK from windows and it finds no errors

When I restart the PC it doesn't find the SSD and reboots an older version of WIn 7 that I left on my my old drive.

I've never had any BSOD when running under this old drive.

On 2nd reboot of my PC the SSD shows again in Win 7 but for some reason doesn't get selected on Boot I would have to manually rearrange the drives in Bios to get it to load.

Should I just consider this SSD as on the way out and abandon or is there a way to rescue it.

BTW despite my best efforts I can't seem to get windump to work so don't have any logs. it just hangs on initializing the file.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2062978/ssdlife.JPG here is the ssdlife file you are right it's over the 5400 range should I try flashing the SSD?

Quick question re flashing is it ok to flash it even if it's not currently the boot drive?

or should i boot into it to flash would had for a BSOD during flash process....




it's still on firmware 00009 which seems quite old now.

Wazza you were spot on mate it worked a charm no more BSOD.

Thanks for your help.

I have an OCZ SSD as well is it always worth flashing them to the latest firmware?
