Intel 600p M.2 256GB causing PC to crash/restart

[XXeni]

Hello I have brand new desktop PC with the following hardware:

• Motherboard: MSI B150M PRO-DDP (BIOS Firmware 2.1 Latest)
• CPU: Intel Core i5 6500
• RAM: 2 x 4GB Samsung DDR4 UNBUFFERED DIMM > M378A5143DB0
• PSU: Thermaltake Hamburg 530W
• SSD: Intel 600p M.2 256GB (Firmware PSF100C)
• OS: Windows 10 PRO

I have installed the latest drivers for all the the hardware and I have updated motherboard BIOS to 2.1 which is the latest.

Problem:

• When I'm going to download anything or copy/paste anything most of the time the PC restarts (without blue screen)
• Also I noticed that when I copy/paste the write speed is almost 4-5 MBps!!! And after a while.. boom! PC restarts!
• I have downloaded the Intel SSD toolbox and when I'm performing the full diagnostic scan I'm passing with 100% the read scan but when it gets to the data integrity scan at 4-5% again, restart!
• I have downloaded some benchmark tools and again when it goes to test the SSD... Restart!
• The PC may restart also before or at the time the windows is loading.

What I have done:

• Re-install fresh windows (I got some restarts also, but I managed to install them)
• Downloaed and installed all the drivers/utilities of the motherboard and SSD
• Removed SSD, installed an old SATA HDD that I had and I installed Windows 10 without a single restart!

My question:

• Is it a faulty SSD?
• Doesn't my motherboard support the Intel 600p SSD?

Hello Xenis,

With the behavior you've described, it does seem likely that you may have a faulty unit. To have this SSD replaced, you may contact your retailer during the first 30 days of purchase, or you may http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/contact-support.html contact support and reference this thread.As an additional troubleshooting step, you may try performing a secure erase (low-level format) on the drive before reinstalling the operating system again. - http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/solid-state-drives/000006011.html Three Ways To Run Low-Level Format Using Intel® Software Tools- http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/solid-state-drives/000006198.html Run a Low-Level Format on Intel® Solid State Drives (using third party tools) As for your motherboard, while compatibility validation is the responsibility of the motherboard vendor.

Hello Carlos,

Sorry for my late response. For a very strange reason after 2 days all the "symptoms" I have reported on my previous post are gone!

I don't know why, I haven't make any change since my first post, so I'm assuming Windows 10 might update some drivers.. I don't know, hope to stay like this.

Thank you for your fast response and again sorry for my late response.
