Just installed the SSD drive I have as the main drive and made the 500gig that had win 7 on as a backup.

After install which went fine I started to get the blue screen after around 15/20 mins saying memory dump.

I've looked on google and some say drivers usually from the graphics card or sometimes hardware.

I dont know what the problem is so before I start messing about with stuff could anyone shoot some ideas across as to what the cause might be?

I'm wondering if I knocked the GFX card a bit in the case and its causing problems?

start be removing everything except the bare essentials and start with one stick or ram, the main drive.
if stable add one mem stick at a time, if the board has onboard graphics use that before your graphics card.

it could be the ssd driv. if the setup ran fine without it and now that it's added might be the drive itself.
check if any firmware is available.

I read a few stories about ssd drives crashing windows, didn't dwell on it since I'm not interested in pushing them this minute.

oh, did you try moving your page file to the other drive and off the ssd drive? or try seeing how t runs in safe mode.
if it runs in safe mode fine check event viewer for erors.

Piece of shit SSD drive still getting blue screen every now and again not as bad but it hates the shit out of torrent sites crashes 5 mins after use.

I also tested the drive speed....my 500gig WD drive has a transfer rate of 140mb/s while the SSD was around 80 but that was only with ACHI enabled in the bios and it wasn't any faster with raid setup.

The only thing I can think of is the software I tested doesn't get SSD's but I can't see that. time to format and use the 500gig drive and this as a back up and I moved the page file to see if it helped and it doesn't I even turned it off to try that and it makes no difference.

Think I'll hold back when the technology of these drives are much better

one reason I avoid them, intel sent me 2 for meeting my quotas and they are still in the box.

My SSD is awesome and I think you are all crazy. I chose the OCZ vertex 2 and updated the firmware right away.

I don't have one yet, but from my research it definitely doesn't look like all SSD's are the same when it comes to reliability. OCZ and Patriot are brands I'm looking at.

Multiple torrent use can utterly thrash a hard drive on a fast connection. I trashed 2-3 IDE HDDs within a month when I got Comcast's speed (of course, I had dozen's torrents downloading/uploading at the same time, lol).

I wouldn't download files to the SSD. Download to 500GB HDD.

Using a SSD drive you want to disable drive indexing, prefetch, superfetch, and disk defrag.

Also, use INTEL RST Driver in AHCI or RAID mode (not Windows default driver) for INTEL Chipset motherboards.

I dont know much about these drives and why I get random blue screens "memory dump"

Its the Kingston V series will have to take the drive back out to look at the model number and see if there are any updates for it as looking on the website there are too many drives to list.

Another thing when you do click on fireware updates it takes you to the intel website for the firmware there so kingston must be joint with intel.

I had the drive setup as originally IDE in bios default and I changed the drive AHCI but never noticed a difference in speed when testing the drive on drive speed benchmark test.The 500gig WD was nearly twice as fast as the SSD

Many of the Kingston SSDs are Intel rebadged SSDs. I would check to see which driver you are using. I would get the newest Intel drivers.

Something must be set up improperly for it to be so slow. You should be able to get the model from Device Manager.
