I have a Asus P8P67-M Motherboard. A OCZ Vertex 2 SDD drive booting Windows 7 Ultimate, and a Samsung 1TB HDD for my data.
The rig has been running perfect for about 6 months, but a few mornings ago I went to the PC and it had blue screened. When I managed to get logged back in I found that the Samsung drive was not showing. Turned out the drive was fried - couldn't even see it in the bios.
I took the opportunity to do a brand new install of my OS on my SDD as I have accumulated a lot of old rubbish on there and it was a good chance for a re-build.
Loaded my OS and all my programmes etc with just the SDD in place and all is working fine with excellent performance.
Now comes the problem - I added a brand new Samsung 1TB HDD - activated it and went to move My Documents onto it. System froze, display driver stopped running and I eventually had to disconnect and re-boot. Every time I add the new Samsung to the system it freezes and hangs up.
This seems too much of a coincidence. 1st a blue screen that cooks the first Samsung HDD, and now adding a brand new disk on a fresh OS build is giving issues.
If the Samsung is removed and I just run the SDD with data etc on it, not a problem. I can also transfer data fine onto a NAS unit. I am beginning to think I have a potential MOBO issue.
Anyone got any views\ideas on this? I am beginning to think I may go buy another Mobo and just oncase
