Is my SSD defective?

[needsomecash]

I just bought an SSD from Lazada a few days ago.

Installed Windows 8 on it and when I transfer files or installing software, there will be BSOD crashes such as win32k.sys and page_fault_in_nonpaged_area.

I tried Windows 7 and also same thing happen.

Should I return the SSD?

The 'brain' in your ssd might not be functioning properly.

I will try to use back my hdd. If hdd also same problem means software/other hardware cause those bsod.

If no crash i will return ssd.

THANKS ALL!

Haha good luck.. if all things fail more likely is the memory controller which is gone. Then need rma liao.

Update: I think the issue is caused by this.(See Pic)

I remembered changing to "extreme turbo" when installing the ssd. maybe thats why all those BSOD appear. I just changed back to turbo(default) and manage to install quite alot of things without crashes. will see how it goes tml!

Update! Yep, it's the Easy Over-Clock Mode settings in the Bios that screw the OS up.

Changed from Extreme Turbo back to default (Turbo) and it works!

I installed Windows 8 again with all the same drivers/settings. No more random BSOD!



Thanks all for trying to help me!

Well done. You are able to debug on your own successfully.

do verify the ssd is in working condition by running crystal disk info
