    I recently got my G74SX from Best Buy a few weeks ago and I got an OCZ Agility 3 60G drive from Newegg as an OS drive to go along with it. This is my first SSD, so I'm inexperienced. But I've looked up some info in the web on how to optimize it for Windows 7 (turning off superfetch, caching, etc...). But I'm experiencing some problems such as; the drive freezing for a couple of minutes then resuming function and a BSOD the other day while I was playing Dragon Age. So, any advice I can get for fixing this problem would be very much appreciated.

    Did you check to see if there are any firmware updates?

    Thanks for the advice guys. I ran OCZ Toolbox and my firmware (2.06) wasn't up to date with the latest (2.09). I bought it hastily because it was a Sandforce drive and it was so cheap (100 USD after MIR) so I figured I just got a lemon and was going to return it. But I'll update the firmware and get back to you guys on how it went. Also, HWMonitor says my drive's temp is reporting at constant 128 C and I know that can't be true because platter drives don't even get that hot. I wouldn't mind that the temperature sensor might be broken but is that a cause for concern?
