Game crash after SSD installation

Solved

Hello,

I am reaching out to share a problem I have been encountering recently, for which I cannot find a solution.

I purchased an SSD (Sandisk SSD Plus - 240 Go) to replace an old SSD that had become too small. I installed it along with my OS (W7 pro) and a few games. Since then, my PC crashes regularly while I'm gaming; my screens go black for about a second, but the audio continues to play, then everything shuts down and the audio bugs out. I monitor my temperatures with SpeedFan, and nothing is getting too high, except maybe my GPU at 60°?

Here is my configuration:

PROCESSOR
Processor model Intel Core i7 2600K
Number of cores 4
Frequency 3.40 GHz
Cooling Corsair CWC-H60

GRAPHICS CARD
MSI GEFORCE GTX 970 GAMING 4G

MOTHERBOARD
Brand of motherboard Asus
Motherboard model P8P67 Pro Rev 3.0
Socket 1155
Chipset Intel P67
Memory slots 4

STORAGE
Total capacity 1000 Go for data and 60 Go for the system
Hard drive 1 Samsung Spinpoint F3 - 1000 Go
Hard drive 2 None
Hard drive 3 None
RAID system No

SSD
SSD Sandisk 240G

CASE
Brand Cooler Master
Model HAF X
Provided fans 4
Additional slots 2
Dimensions 230 x 590 x 550 mm

POWER SUPPLY

I don't know if my SSD is to blame, if the problem is software-related, or if another component of the PC needs to be replaced.

Is there a way to test it?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 45.0.2454.99

    Hello

    The way to test that comes to mind would be to put the old SSD back in to see if the problem persists.

      Thank you for this response, it may have been simple for many, but it helped me.
      The hard drive is indeed faulty, back to customer service.
