That's a good plan, thanks. I downloaded the OCZ Toolbox, and it agrees with HWiNFO and CrystalDiskInfo. I used the toolbox to send a "Trim" command to the drive, but that made no difference.   I could try a microcode update, but given my zero success rating with recent driver updates...

CrystalDiskInfo also reports Remaining Life: 0 Perhaps I have more to worry about than USB drivers... I was looking for an excuse to upgrade from 128Gb to something larger...

I'm trying to attach the report file, but something is preventing me. I'm not getting any error messages, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Ah, it doesn't like the extension .MHT so I've renamed it to SWIFTYS.MHT.DBG

Gmail has an add-on which scans for the word "attach" or "attachment" and complains if you haven't added an attachment.  I desperately need this function in all of the programs that I use. I always remember after pressing "send", like I did with this. in response to my prior post. :(

Incidentally, I'd like to explain that I'm not usually so poor at collecting diagnostic information. But I'd just installed a USB3 disk enclosure, and it seemed to require updates to my USB3 drivers. Every time I tried to update the USB3 drivers, I ended up with damaged USB2 drivers. The...

My apologies; I hadn't realised that I could get to the debug setting before the abend. Here is my DBG file. Last two lines: (to give you a taster) - Analyzing PCI Bus... CL init

P.S. I note from my score (zero) that I'm dis-reputable. Nothing changes. :D

Note: Maiden append. Be kind to me, I'm a pensioner! I worked in IT since the IBM S/370 was announced; 37 years of that with IBM, some in PC H/W and Software support. I retired from IBM in 2012 in happy circumstances. On my system, HWiNFO64.exe crashes as soon as it is launched (Windows...
