Chuppster Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I have a computer running Windows 8 that doesn't consistently boot all the time. I built this computer, and when I first installed Windows 8 it worked fine. I then went out and bought a Samsung 480 Pro 120 GB SSD. I updated the firmware and everything, then did a clean install of windows onto it. It worked great for awhile, but it has began to act up. 1 out of every 2 times I start my computer I see the BIOS screen, the Win8 loading screen, then my lock screen wallpaper comes up. The networking icon shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point, and the computer does not respond to the mouse or keyboard. I then do a hard reset and it sometimes boots from there. I checked error reporting and it says that Windows was unable to shut down correctly. I also see messages about a device driver made by Saitek (I have a joystick made by them, had it plugged in once, is no longer plugged in) that is not being installed correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I have seen a few posts lately about faulty Samsung SSD's having the problems you are experiencing,.Download and run this program, it will tell you about the health of your SSD. http://download.cnet.com/CrystalDiskInfo/3000-2086_4-10832082.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
