Dear Customer
Does the system crash before the firmware updated? Do you have another system available to try the SSD drive? Do you have any replacement parts such as memory/ hard drive which allow us to narrow down the issue from the motherboard/memory/SSD? The memory/motherboard/ Overclocking may cause Crash as well, please keep us posted, we will be here for you anytime, thank you

yes system crash before and after the firmware update, so im so confused... i dont know if is the SSD causing problems or my overclock...

At the moment im running default settings without overclock to test it... but i was stable at 3.2Ghz, 1 year with OS in caviar black...

Thanks for the help

Dear Customer
Please consider about update your bios to the latest version first, if already there will want to clear the CMOS first before any testing, you may please consider about run some test on Memory/SSD with default setting, i would prefer to start the test with memory first, you may memtest each individual module at a time to avoid the faulty module, and try the SSD at last, please feel free to let us know how it goes, thank you

something is wrong with SSD... i dont know if is my configuration, or if is SSD dying with only 2 Months LOL !

I think one of my stick of RAM is just damaged... tested each stick with Memtest86 and one of it show's errors everywhere... from 0 to 4gb... i dont know why, but now im only running with 8gb of ram and all looks great, no explorer errors on startup and all programs booted fine..

maybe need to send 1 stick to warrantly.

Dear Customer

Sorry about the faulty stick, please contact our RMA department at rma@gskill.com for warranty replacement, thank you

Bios detect the stick, but its impossible to repair de RAM errors right ?

so i need to take it to warrantly?

Sorry about that, you may have to send it back for replacement, there is no other way to fix the module, sorry for your inconvenience, you have a nice day.
