BF4, the SSD Killer?
Twice now, I've installed new solid-state drives in my computer for the sake of having a faster gaming experience. And both times, while playing BF4, it has crashed my computer, forcing me to reset i...

Ok just a little thought here have you changed the cables on the SSD it might be as simple as the cable being faulty.
Well, I appreciate the idea, but I have tried different cables, with no change.
You don't have to respond to this afterwards, because I'm planning on just returning it. Thanks anyway, guys! 🙂
- Have you changed SATA Controller Ports from 3rd pary to Intels own?
In all honesty you should not of put such a laggy game on a SSD.
Make sure you have all drivers updated and what SSD is it?
Just as an update to this thread, I finished all the driver and game installs, and have not experienced the lag and "locking up" I had been before.
OP, when you say that you are just going to "return it" - wern't there two different SSD's that "corrupted"?
Solidus 1983 had a good point asking if you had switched to Intel's SATA ports.
My ASUS Rampage MB has a onboard Marvell controller that is flaky at best.
The current SSD I am running is on the Intel controller.
- Glad you sorted or issue screeb, as you rightly just pointed out about my question to the OP Marvell and JMicron controllers are well know to be very flaky and causing issues such as corruption to data, so OP before sending the SSD's back try using a Intel SATA Controller. If you can perform a Secure Erase and reinstall everything as the data is likely to be corrupt anyway and will be of no use. If after that your still having issues then i would suggest you contact the maker of the SSD's and send them back under RMA. BF4 will no kill a SSD through data write wear in our lifetime. All sounds controller related to me.
