Intel SSD 330. Windows 7 freezes frequently after fresh installation

I had purchased intel SSD 330 120 Gb.

At first I installed in my desktop (AMD Board), a lot of time the SSD fail to be detected with SMART error.

After that I had it installed in my notebook. It worked, but frequently the windows freezes, I have to reboot, and it's ok. After that the problems comes again and I have to reboot again.

I had the SSD removed, then installed to another desktop (intel), the same problem comes up. I had to reboot to resolve the freezes. I could not get into the Internet when the windows freezes.

THis is very frustrating, I could not get tow work with three different machine. I have another SSD (OCZ),which work with my desktop and notebook.

Can anybody assist me on this.

I had done fresh installations on all three machine.

Can I proceed with RMA?

Thanks.

Nevermind. Intel 330 froze again tonight even with TRIM disabled.

Crucial M4 arrived today - time to clone the Intel 330 to it.

i also have the same issue with you guys, i was expecting that intel would have figured this out already, but it seems like we're being ignored on our discussions. there should be someone from intel to answer and help us in this issues.

IM SO UPSET.

i should have gone with OCZ Vertex 4.

No freezing at all after switching from AHCI to ATA in BIOS.

@Jon

Since when did you switch? Did you make a fresh install of your windows?

Switched a week or so ago, no freezes since.

I did do a clean windows install as one of the first things I tried to fix the problem but it had no effect.
