I noticed last night my ram had defaulted back to 1333mhz and a 15 latency. I set them back to 1600mhz and a 9 latency and saw an immediate improvement.

I’m running a 2TB 7200rpm hard drive and want to upgrade to an ssd I’m currently getting 96 read and write is 83.

The ssd I’m looking at is:

The 860 EVO performs at sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s* with Intelligent TurboWrite technology, and sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s. The TurboWrite buffer size* is upgraded from 12 GB to 78 GB.

Would this make a difference in game play?

Wow... I've never seen behavior like that from an SSD and I've worked on them for years. My condolences. How did you transfer your data to the drive? Or did you start from scratch? I'm sure it's under warranty, so you have that much to your credit.

I’ve been building computers for 20 years and haven’t had this much problems with replacing a part or a build ever.

Didn’t format the first time, did the second and third. I did a fresh windows install 3 times then did cloning with the Samsung program and had the same problem.

Even after updating the bios.

Luckily I got it from amazon so I have 30 days but they’ve extended to January 31st for Christmas. It will be going back Monday though.

My first ssd install, my girlfriends came with one. I even watched videos to see if I was doing something wrong and everyone else was doing exactly what I was and it just worked. After 12 hours I had enough and gave up.

Sounds like lousy luck. I have yet to experience issues.

I figured it out miraculously, I reset both my HDD and SSD using a Windows boot USB. I think my first problem when I installed the SSD the very first time was the AMD Radeon Software messing up my drivers because after I installed them again it started crashing and changing overclocking some of my BIOS settings again until I uninstalled Radeon. Works good now and everything runs smoothly, thanks for the help!
