x120e BSOD on Wake

[vesrah]

I picked up a barely used x120e today with 4gb of ram and stuffed a Corsair F40 SSD in it.  Looks like the previous owner had already upgraded the BIOS on the laptop so I went ahead and installed Win7 x64 Professional and the machine runs fine, but if I close the lid and wake it then it will BSOD right away. Is this a known issue with SSDs or is it something else?

Thanks

Looks like there's a post on the Corsair forums:

Tested again and mine will wake to the Windows 7 login screen, but when I try to login it then throws the BSOD.

I will check that post out now.

Thanks

I have issues with Corsair F240 in my desktop pc, with regards to BSOD when resuming from sleep. I just don't sleep it anymore.

Getting back to the x120e, I have a SSD in mine too, though its OCZ Vertex2, and have been seeing BSOD on wake from sleep lately too, after upgrading to a newer AMD AHCI SATA driver that supports TRIM in SSD's.

Though I have just upgraded the firmware on mine today, supposedly the Vertex2's had issue with wake from sleep BSOD too.

Apparently a known issue, I just can't seem to have any luck with SSDs.

Ok, anyone with this problem - don't use hibernate.  The system can't resume from hibernate and gets stuck in a loop of saying press enter to reboot.  Looks like I get to reformat again.

You can tell it to start from boot by hitting space at boot and choosing "Delete restoration data"

Thank you, google failed me completely on that.

I suppose there's a reason anyone that wants quality and reliability hits up Intel SSDs for fewer hassles.  I have absolutely no problems with regards to sleep/hibernate with my Intel SSD 320 Series.  This is with everything updated as far as I can take it, including AMD SATA drivers and whatnot.

I think for my next SSD, I will go with an Intel one as well... A bit more expensive, but I think they have the resources to do proper quality testing on them.
