Hey everyone,
So after reading this thread:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1507897/samsung-840-evo-read-speed-drops-on-old-written-data-in-the-drive
I decided to defrag my Samsung 840 Evo with Mydefrag, just like it says in the thread. Defrag finished with no issues, after which I restarted my computer. Upon restart, I get stuck at my Asus splash screen. I can't get into Bios, doesn't go forward to Windows start up, just freezes.
I tried unplugging the SSD and booting from my HDD and, sure enough, that works. I'm almost certain that defragging messed up the SSD somehow, but everyone on that thread seems to have done it with no problems, so not sure what went wrong.
One other thing, I booted from my HDD into Windows and tried hotplugging the SSD, and that resulted in a BSOD and massive errors (probably shouldn't have done that).
I've tried clearing CMOS. Not sure what else to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
