    Ok, i have been getting a string of BSODs on my MBP in bootcamp. I am running a Samsung PM810 SSD. The BSOD errors are either Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area or failed Memory Dump. Want to know if the SSD could be the problem. This started recently after i traveled on an airplane during the winter break. Everything was perfectly fine but when i traveled and reached my destination the problems started. (Dont know if this has anything to do with it, just that the way it happened it seemed that as soon as i landed the problems started. Anyway, it seems like the problem is with the ram but for some reason my Mac partition has stopped working(Windows explorer says partition is corrupted and wont open it, i have HFS+ for windows and it used to work fine and it is not displayed at the boot selection screen) so i was wondering if the problem could be with the SSD.

    Have you verified that the RAM is not at fault? Were you flying and using the system at high altitude?

    Is there just the SSD in the system? Can you remove the SSD and see the contents on another computer?

    Is there anything on the MBP that is altitude sensitive that needs to be 're-calibrated'?

    Does a new set of RAM and/or a HDD work in the system (to rule out the MB)?

    Good luck.

    Yup, am gonna do all that stuff but have been real busy today. Am gonna run a ram test overnight . Dont really have another Computer to check the stuff on, or another pair of ram modules. Did use the Mac on the plane. Was using OSX. it was working fine, got home, boot into Win 7 and got a BSOD. Then the Mac partition disappeared from the boot selection screen.
