Corsair Performance3 ssd 64GB BSOD issue

[hscsd]

Hello,

I've got some issues with the drive mentioned in the title. It has run just fine untill now(6 months or so). Initially the system would crash if let to idle (garbage collection causing the hang?) and the drive would not be found by the bios afterwards. A full power down however would reset things to as usual.

I cleared up some stuff even though the drive had 15GB of free space. The issues went away due to TRIM maybe? Now scanning the windows/system32 folder with Microsoft Security Essentials will crash the system and make the drive not show up. So the question is can windows cause the drive to not show up after reset or is the drive bad.

All power saving features are disabled (including hdd power down, pcie link state). The drive is connected via Asus u3s6 card.

Here is a YouTube clip of what is happening:

Any ideas guys?

My Force GT 120gb sometimes disappears from bios as well after a BSOD, got ROG Crosshair V Formula motherboard ssd connected to native sata ports.
Will have to do a reinstall soon and I'll try to flash the firmware on the ssd at the same time, maybe thats an option for you as well, check if a newer FW is available.

I guess I could try that native sata... it will be slower though. As far I know there's no new FW availlable for this drive. Your drive might have different reasons for it's behavior as it has different controller in it.
