Win7 and a SSD problem ?!

[TomDK]

I have a pc only for my SimPit.

The powerline for all the equipment has a switch. If I shut down all components via this switch and restart the pc, windows tries to repair itself.

If I just switch the pc out, the start is normal without any problems. If I disconnect the power, windows starts again and tries to fix itself.

 

Any idea what is happening here ?

 

My pc specs are in my footer. I guess the SSD has a problem becoming disconnected from the powerline.

er... isn't it obvious... when you just shut off the power to the PC the OS is not shutting down and can get corrupted.

 

You NEVER shut down the PC by switching off the power switch... you ALWAYS shut down from the start menu ;)

I really assumed I misunderstood. I rarely ever shut mine down, but to just kill the power is a major No-No. I have all of mine on UPS systems so it doesn't even happen by accident.

 

You didn't have this issue before the SSD?

Wow! I really going to have fun with tech support on this one. Dude you really think the power hub switch will correctly turn off your PC?

 

OMG!

 

Do what Kuky says. "turn your PC off; first click on the window start button on the lower left side of your screen, then click shut down just to the right of the window that just popped up."

 

Windows Shut down procedure.

 

 

 

Wow Classic.

STOP !!!! You missunderstand or I did not declare correctly:

 

 

FOR SURE ... i stop the pc using the shutdown function !!

BUT if I after shutdown disconnect the powercord win7 will start with errors and try to fix its system !!

 

And this is not normal !!

Then you probably did not shut it down. I guess you just put it into sleep/hibernation. Check power management settings of your pc...

[Kuky]

Alright, I thought you shut down the PC using physical power switch... in this case this is not normal I agree and if you never had this untill you put in new SSD I would be inclined to think it was somehow faulty SSD.

usually a falty SSD doesnt result in windows trying to fix itself. It likely wouldnt even get that far.

 

A faulty SSD often stops being recognized in BIOS, gives BSOD or simply stops responding, some faults also result in massive loss of capacity (such as the intel 320 series bug).

 

This is likely a software problem or some other hardware.

afaik win 7 uses a ssd as a ram buffer this buffer is not being written to the hard drive if you have one if you dont then the buffer setting should be turned off. this is readyboost you will find it in the ssd properties. if it is disabled then it is probably win7's prefetch which holds some well used data in memory and can use the ssd for it..turning off main power could cause this data to be lost..

And this is not normal !!

 

My appologies.

 

I have never seen that issue with my game machne and it is using a 60GB SSD for its boot disk. Granted, I only power that machine down about 2 or 3 times a year but the problem you describe has never occurred. Now if I force a shutdown, for some reason, then it usually does happen but that is somewhat normal.

Tom go to the SSD manufactures web page, check to see if theres a trim firm ware update.

 

if so follow the procedure, it will probably mean you will have to reinstall win7.
