So I noticed with my new Hyper SSD that it doesn't like crashing.
First major crash made me do a fresh install after it wouldn't boot into Windows, this was day one after I just installed my OS. System Recovery couldn't even detect the OS anymore, detected the other one OS on my other drive through, left with no choice but to reinstall again.
So since then, I had a few more and I noticed after all the BIOS stuff, it starts to load Windows, but it's just gives a black screen, then some funny band of colours or lines show up at the top of the monitor... then after a few minutes, it finally loads Windows and everything is back to normal. Rebooting from this gives a normal boot up with a fast load into Windows.
I also noticed it doesn't like restarting explorer.exe, if that crashes, I'm lucky if am able to restart it again if not, it's a reboot to fix that.
My second major crash happened just now... I was trying to play L4D2 after installing some new mods and spray's and well, the game didn't like that, every time I tired to join a server, it would crash or freeze. I managed to drop to desktop and force close it, but it wouldn't drop to Windows... and Alt + Ctrl and Error wasn't working.
So much for SSD's and their great speed and that it can't deal with something like this, so I clicked the reset switch and it just hung, got fed up waiting, reset again, waiting... reset again, waiting... so finally decide to stick my disk in and do a System repair... thank god I left System restore enabled so I could restore to a different date. Finally got back into Windows like nothing has happened.
Since this is my first SSD, I don't know if SSD's just don't like hard resets and hard crashes like this or that this drive sucks or that the Sandforce that sucks this much. I read that it has issues.
If this keeps happening, might be best if I just go back to my old drive and just use the SSD to boot games from.
