We could have milked this for a few more weeks! Way to ruin it!
Tony, isn't there some way to have FurMark run continuously? You'll want to stress test it and let it run for an hour or something to see if that causes it to crash.

I ran the 15 min thing to post results but my computer started to smell like something was burning (probably the dust inside the video cards that I couldnt get out).
I'm running the self-tests on prime95 and its passed 3 tests so far (i forgot to turn off the power saving mode in windows so i'm just starting on the 4th test and will probably quit once its done because I don't suspect anything to be wrong with the CPU).
I'm betting my problem was with the hard drives and possibly the old mobo (did I tell you I changed the motherboard?) See what happend was the mobo I am using now was replaced with a new mobo because I got a BSOD a couple years ago and the mobo wasnt recognizing the hard drive and one of the disk drives. I pluged the new hard drive into the new mobo and it booted fine (didn't reformat or reinstall windows) instead I just added drivers to the disk (this is where i probably went wrong). It was working fine until around november when I had problems online with browsing with a ton of tabs open on firefox. I also noticed some slow downs in video games when running Call of Duty: Ghosts when shapes would start blinking, but this went away when I used SLI (or the other way around, I cant remember). Anyways to sum it all up it was probably the hard drives problem because it was literally almost at full capacity (this is why I have a separate porn hard drive).

OK then. Well, it was still a good idea to check everything. Let me know if you have any other problems.

You probably got piss in the case, which dried and covered your components.
He has tons of other problems, but I'm pretty sure you can only solve one of them.

I added the two hard drives and everything seems to be running fine. I tried running the hard drive test but it was stuck on checking smart values.
I am also unable to log into this site from the computer as it seems my main email address isn't what this account uses and I couldn't figure out the password in 5 tries.

Hey Silber, I forgot to enable AHCI before I reinstalled the OS. Is it okay if I just change it to AHCI mode or do I have to reinstall Windows again?

I think I got it but I'm not getting the performance that it's supposed to achieve. I currently set it to AHCI (it was on IDE). I found a website that suggested changing it in the registry using regedit before changing it in the BIOS otherwise I'd get a BSOD. The software that the Samsung SSD came with tells you how to optimize to get the results but I'm getting about half of what the max is.

Well I got the sequential read/write speeds over the max (I don't know how this happened) but the random read/writes are still at half or below. What's weird is that the only thing I can see that isn't enabled is the native TRIM support, however when I go into the command prompt and do the fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify it gives me the DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (which means that TRIM is enabled).

Yes, you'll have to make registry changes, then reboot the computer to install the drivers, then you can go back to BIOS and change to AHCI.
With the post per page setting back to the original number, it feels like the forum is busy as fuck, hootycacker.

Just finished installing my SSD and decided to go with a fresh windows install to it rather than cloning cause the old drive was already a clone of a drive from like '04. Boot times are fast, but the 8 hours it took to get everything working again means it will be 758 launches before the SSD saves me as much time as I spent installing it.
