Windows 10: Newly Installed SSD Crashes on Windows 10

Hi,

Recently I purchased and installed a brand new Samsung 960 EVO (500GB) SSD, but have been having problems with it. I've been getting regular freezes and crashes (and by regular, I mean at least every 5 minutes, happens especially during gaming). I'll get all sorts of blue screen errors. I installed the SSD into my MOBO about three days ago, and ran a Macrium reflect to clone my hdd to my ssd, and before doing so, I can remember Macrium giving me a warning about a corrupted download on Macrium, and this is what I suspect has done damage to my SSD. Now whenever I run a game or simply browse the web, I get crashes, doesn't happen when I boot from my HDD though. My HDD is a 1TB Green Seagate hdd.

Here's what I've done to try and fix the issue:

- Reinstall windows

- Run Check disk

- Memory check

- Virus check

- Reformat SSD

(And countless other things to no avail).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

Cameron.

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
