    Hello! this is my first post!!...and i have a big problem with my new SSD crucial M4 128g...aletory i have freeze images for 15-20s...and I dont know what can i do.
    Im looking in the crucial forum and i see this solution, but it doesn´t work... Solution: C300 Disk Freeze-ups in Windows 7 solved... - Crucial Community
    I uninstall the RST driver and install de .inf, and the RST (v1008) again and the problem persist!!

    I don´t know what can i do...it´s a SSD problem? I buy it 5 days ago..refund?

    (sorry for my english!)
    edit: I have installed the SSD in the secondary bay.

    THanks!!
    Frodo!

    Edit2: now, it´s WORKS!!...i dont copy correctly the .reg...^^, and now all is ok!

    Glad to see you got it fixed. I too have a Crucial M4 128gb, and it does freeze for 20 seconds until you run the .reg key that turns off the power management to the SSD. Good job in finding the answer!
