Windows startup problem

Tibor Hazafi · May 4, 2015

Hi all,
I have updated my 840 EVO 120G firmware, done the Advanced Performance Optimization, and since then my PC starts with blue screen (circa one times / 10 start) and restarts. After that with "Start Windows Normally" everything is fine and perfect under OS or games or anything. Did the windows startup files break? What should I do?
I have done memtest for two hours: 0 error
I have done CPU stress test for 1 hour: 0 error
I think the firmware update or optimization causes the problem.

A clean windows re-install I think it is the faster route...

Sadly I thought the same, but I hate reinstalling OS. All those settings, programs, games, updates...

See the good side: you will have a fresh, clean and maybe faster OS...

The new firmware of the SSD will remain after the clean reinstall, right?

Yes, the firmware part for ssd it is like bios/uefi for motherboard...

Did you try a repair with an install disk?

Ironically a clean install is the fastest route. After messing with fixes, updated drivers and registry fixes you can mess with a system for hours and still not fix shit. Download the latest OEM Windows 7 with service pack 1 and install from a USB. Takes 20 min. A couple of drivers and a few programs. Done in less time.

Plus the more you do it the better you get at it

Running SFC/ Scannow under Command Prompt as Admin may fix the issue.

Clean OS reinstall sounds great, BUT ... there is a task in the new firmware, which rewrites all data on the SSD once in a week preventing the slowing down of reading old data. I think if the performance optimalization (did the same) caused the issue, maybe the weekly rewriting will bring back the problem again aftre a while :/

Will it work with NOT-original OS?

Yes. Just make sure you type it correctly. sfc /scannow.

That may be your problem then...

Sadly the result:
"Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."
So there will be something else...
