So I'm a bit baffled. I currently have a 120GB Crucial RealSSD with only Windows and a few other programs on it. It previously held most of my high-end games, but I recently got a 2nd 120GB OCZ Vertex 3. My plan was to leave Windows on the Crucial, and put all games on the Vertex 3. This has not gone so well.
Originally I did this without reformatting. But I kept getting BSOD's when trying to use the Steam client or play Steam games. So I thought maybe it was because I had installed the Vertex 3 without reformatting and maybe the hardware change threw Windows for a loop. So I reformatted and wiped everything (except my 1TB Media drive). I again installed Windows on the 1st SSD and am *trying* to install games on the Vertex3 but am still getting a lot of BSOD's when dealing with Steam. At first, I assumed it was Steam only, but I've notice I'm now also getting them when trying to install other games on the drive and access any files/folders on the drive.
Thanks for reading (sorry I'm long winded) and I appreciate any help.
Setup:
Main Drive: Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB SATA III SSD
Other Drives: WD 1TB 7200 RPM Traditional Drive, OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB SATA III SSD
CPU: Intel i7 2600k
MOBO: ASUS P67 Sabertooth
RAM: 8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 1600
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 570
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
