I was running a setup of Intel P55 board with an i5-750 Win7 x64 for the past 2 years at stock settings 24/7 stable. I decided to install the new Intel 330 120GB SSD and when the computer was idling the computer froze. When i switched back to the SATA HDD this freezing went away. After researching a bit for known SandForce BSOD issues i came across some posts that suggested i disabled the C3/C6 states of the CPU. After i did that the BSODS and the freezing went away on the new SSD as well.</P><P></P><P>Can i have a confirmation that this is indeed the correct way to stop the freezes? Is it a SandForce issue that Intel eventually didn't resolve? I hate to kill the higher states of the CPU just to have a stable OS, i am losing Turbo Boost function this way. Please inform if this is a defective drive before i return it, or this is a known issue.</P> Thu, 03 May 2012 12:09:56 GMT idata 2012-05-03T12:09:56Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/intel-330-120gb-ssd-plagued-with-sandforce-bug/m-p/17973#M10926 <P>Hi,</P><P></P><P>Just regged here to confirm my situation.
