Drivers/Hardware :: Slow SSD Speeds With Intel 520 Series 240GB?
Feb 23, 2016
I'm using Win10 x64 and Intel 520 240GB SSD:
For my mobo, Asus P8Z77-V-Deluxe, I downloaded the official asus chipset drivers.
There is one for Win8.1 x64 and a Beta version for Win10.
The chipset driver for Win8.1 has installed the following:
1. under Device Manager> IDE ATA/ATAPI controller > Inter 7 series/C216 chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller
2. Version 12.8.0.1016 - Date 2013/08/01
If I install the Asus Win10 chipset driver, then instead of the Inel SATA controller, I'll end up having Standard SATA controller by Microsoft.
I'm currently using the Asus beta Win10 chipset driver, however I manually installed the Intel SATA controller which is officially supported on Win8.1 and is digitally signed.
I ran two SSD benchmark test with AS SSD (latest version).
With just the official Win8.1 chipset driver as mentioned above, I'm getting the following results:
With the Win10 beta chipset driver and the Standard SATA controller by Microsoft:

Currently have a WiFi network setup for internet. Both computers connect to the router via WiFi Dongles. Which is running no problems.
Each computer is then plugged into a network switch (cheap 4 port stand alone unit) via Ethernet cables (gigabit ports) and into the switch I have also have a WD My Cloud.
Having various issues, such as unidentified network, network being defaulted back to public, the ip addresses I have assigned being reset to obtain automatically and only getting transfer speeds of 3MB/s
Running windows 10. No home group/work group setup, have 1 drive on the other computer shared and mapped as a network drive.
A few weeks ago I installed a SSD into my desktop and installed Windows 10 on it. I never checked my speeds at the time so I'm not sure exactly when my download speeds started to be terrible, but I assume it was then. Other computers on the network get the proper download speed (which is supposed to be anywhere from 30mbps to 50mbps on Time Warner Cable) where mine will get anywhere from 19 to .6 mbps.
The upload speed however doesn't fluctuate as badly. I've reinstalled my wifi drivers, I've also tried to use my old usb wifi dongle to see if it was the card in any way, but I still had the same speeds. My card was getting the proper speeds prior to my fresh Windows install so I can only assume either I've done something wrong driver wise (which I can't seem to track down) or maybe it's a hardware issue I introduced by installing the SSD. Either way, I'm lost as to how to fix it. And one suggestion I cannot do, unfortunately, is hook my computer directly to the router.
I've got a notebook Pavilion DV6-3152SL with hardware AMD Phenom(tm) II N620 Dual-Core 64 bit, bios F29.
After upgrading from Windows 7 HP to Windows 10, I've got a big problem with the AMD graphic drivers, which are both now version 15.200.1062.1004. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series seems to work fine, while AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series stopped working of an error code 43 and I'm unable to fix it. I've already tried these chances, but no one of them has succeded to solve the problem of my AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series:
- Updating the driver from the AMD website both installing it manually and utilizing AMD Catalyst Istall Manager; - Withdrawing the HD 5000 to let Windows Update installing a new one; - Updating through the software HP Support Assistant.
... But I can't fix it: driver update for AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series is impossible. And, in any case the configuration goes lost at reboot and my notebook goes on saying "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly.
I very briefly switched on the IGP whilst swapping from Nvidia to AMD last month and now Windows Update is constantly trying to update (and failing) the drivers even though no Intel drivers are currently installed, I used DDU to remove the Intel and Nvidia drivers.
How to stop it? Now whenever I open Windows update I get updates are available for Graphics Adaptor WDDM1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 for Intel HD Graphics 4600

I have a laptop with an intel AC 7265 wireless adapter built in. With the normal Windows 10 driver, AP mode works - which I need to run Connectify.
I upgraded to the latest Intel driver as I was having other issues (Wireless would just disconnect and give me a 1609 address) but the new driver apparently doesn't support AP mode (hosted network support = no).
I have an Acer Aspire E5-571 and am trying to switch from the graphics driver provided by Acer to the newer version for my graphics card available directly from Intel. The card model is HD Graphics 4400 and the CPU is a 4th gen Core i5 so I'm pretty sure this is the correct driver.
I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver through the Windows Device Manager, then rebooting and installing the driver from Intel, but I continually get the message about my computer having a customized driver from the computer manufacturer. It seems that as soon as I uninstall the driver, it is immediately reinstalled by Windows, thereby not giving me the chance to switch to the Intel driver.Is there a way to manually switch to Intel's driver?
I have an ASUS e56u laptop that I updated from Windows 7 to 10. Since the update the -Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wifi N-6150- driver is not starting up. It is the newest version (ver15.12.0.9).
I updated W7x64 to W10 Pro x64. The machine is WXP generation notebook. My problem is that the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG is not recognized or Network and Sharing Center - Change Adapter Settings does not list this adapter. The Device Manager does show the adapter but with exclamation mark. What I have done so far are uninstalling/reinstalling the adapter and installing the drivers in compatibility mode.
Upgraded Win 7 Pro Dell laptop to Win 10 Pro. Screen resolution changed on first win 10 boot and other resolutions greyed out. Windows update says unable to update Intel HD graphics drivers. Downloaded win 10 drivers from Intel site and installed. On reboot get continual bsod as above. No restore point since upgrade. Can't boot to Windows. how to get past the bsod
I have a PC with Asus P9X79 Deluxe motherboard. It has Intel chipset and Intel BIOS RAID (RSTe) and 6 SATA ports connected to it. The chipset IDE controller lists in Linux as:
Intel Corporation C600/X79 series chipset SATA RAID Controller (rev 06), and the PCI ID is: 0104: 8086:2826 (rev 06).
My RAID configuration is 2xOCZ-VERTEX4 256GB SSD's in RAID0, as boot drive (C: drive), and 2 (quite old) WDC WD2500KS 250GB disks in RAID0 for extra storage (games, movies etc) (J: drive).
So yesterday I decided to upgrade my Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Pro. All seemingly went well during the upgrade process, and the system booted fine, and most stuff seemed to work as it should. But after a while when I accessed files on the J: drive I started experiencing random (temporary) freezes.
Then after a while it got more serious and the whole system froze, I had to hit the reset button.
So I rebooted and looked in the event log, I get see tons of errors there saying that the disk has a bad sector.
Then I try using the J-drive again, by viewing some videos there, and it works fine, but after a while there are some freezes and then I see in the event log, that the drive was reset. After this it works again for a while but then another of those resets comes, and freezes everything for a short while (like 30 seconds).
But when I try to copy some large files off the J-drive, another reset comes, and then the event log starts showing a lot of the error messages from before, with "the disk has an bad sector". (I will post screenshots of these errors after I reboot back into Windows).
After this I can't access the J-drive at all, and Windows gives me error messages when I try to.
So, I figure that I might have just got unlucky and the old WDC drive actually developed read errors, although it's strange that it happens exactly when I install Windows 10 (these drives are something like 7 years old).
Well I can't copy the contents off the disk from Windows since it keeps failing as described above, so I boot into Ubuntu Linux from a USB stick, so I can use ntfsclone to image the J-drive to another disk. I start it running expecting that I'll start seeing read errors, but to my surprise there are NONE. It also copies all files off the J-drive without any problems from inside Linux!
So it was after all not the old drive that had failed, but instead Windows 10/Intel had failed me in a big way.
I trawled the web for updated Intel chipset drivers and installed those from the Asus site, but it made no difference at all. I couldn't find any other Intel drivers and when I searched for the RST drivers on Intel's own site, I could only find ones for Windows XP upto Windows 8.1, but none for Windows 10.
For now I'm left with a PC that I can't use, because I can't go back to Windows 7 and Windows 10 is not working with my RAID arrays. I got some spare 2TB disks, and I'm right now copying all the data from the old J-drive (the RAID1 about 500GB) over to this, hopefully I can then work in Win 10, but I am VERY concerned because the same RAID and drivers are used for my master boot drive with the two OCZ SSD's.
I get this error on a Surface Pro 3 which I have updated to Windows 10. It normally occurs when playing Minecraft, anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hour after opening. I have attempted to update the drivers, but it says that the drivers are up to date (which is odd as I am using Windows 8 drivers on a Windows 10 machine).
New build. From a fresh install of windows 10 i try to install the drver for my IGPU Intel HD 530. each time i do that i get a BSOD with this message:
VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE igdkmd64.sys Or sometimes it's SYSTEM_THREAD_EXEPTION_NOT_HANDELED igdkmd64.sys
I've tried drivers from motherboard manufacturer CD, website and intel and some autodetect driver software. I always get the same behavior:
The screen start blinking several time ( black screen) before showing the BSOD then reboot and repeat it self. Even the driver downloaded by windows update have the same impact.
I've managed to install it in safe mode but when i restart in normal mode i get the same behavior. I've tried 2 different monitors, VGA and HDMI , tried with UEFI on/off => same result. I've tweaked once the tdr delay to 8 second, but didn't work.

So i updated to the preview last week, since then, my wifi connection speeds have gotten worse..Perhaps it is a coincidence, but i dont think so since i still pull pretty good speeds on my iphone, but on my lenovo all in one, speedtest it is like 2 mbps. Prior, it would be 25-30, i haven't moved it either.
What are average home-group transfer speeds? I feel like mine is slower than it should be, but I have nothing to compare it to. From one Windows 7 machine to a Windows 10 machine, transferring a video file over wifi, I'm averaging anywhere from 300 kbps to 1 mb.
According to Speedtest.net, I have a 4.37MBps download speed, and 2.22 mbps upload speed.
I have a peculiar issue with wifi on Windows 10. My computer shows a wifi link speed of 270 Mbps and i have tested the same by sending huge files over my network. Now the issue is that i strongly believe that something in Windows 10 is throttling the internet speeds drastically. I am only getting half of the subscribed download speeds on my Windows 10. I have other devices/phones connected to the same wireless network and they are getting full speeds!
I have tried several things but i am unable to achieve full download speeds on my Windows 10. This has been affecting me for the past around 15 days. Prior to that things used to be normal.
I have been running windows 10 for a week or so with no trouble until yesterday. I use DriverToolkit to keep all my drivers up-to-date and installed properly. I ran a scan yesterday morning and it fixed 13 drivers with no error at the time. Shortly thereafter I received 4 BSODs each about two hours apart (and another one this morning) and when I click shut down I get to the shutting down screen and the circle of dots just spins forever -- never shuts down -- until I pull the plug.
The BSODs were the following (in this order): IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION (this was this morning)

I have installed Windows 10 on my C: (SSD) but D: (Regular HDD) is super slow and i think it has something to do with admin rights and stuff.
Sometimes when opening folders with alot of videos (20+) It takes Windows 10 a super long time to process the folder (The green bar at top goes on forever before the "icon" images shows up.)
What might be causing this? Had no problems on Windows 7.
I searched how to screenshot, and found the "alt + prntscr" method. I managed to take one screenshot. Every time I try now nothing happens. I have also tried just pressing prntscr.
I have a VAIO F Series VPCF217HG that I just upgraded to Windows 10 a few days ago. So far everything worked fine except one problem.
I have a perfect internet collection, as in I am still able to go on to websites and download/upload stuffs, but every time I try to use any of the Microsoft features, it keeps saying that I don;t have an internet connection. I cannot use Cortana or Windows update and a lot of other features. I tried to use the ""Use SSL 2.0""Use SSL 3.0""Use TSL 1.0""Use TSL 1.1""Use TSL 1.2"" fix but it did't work.
I thought it was because of my outdated Mcafee, so I uninstalled it but the problem still persists afterwards.
I am using hp pavilion 15 series P077tx laptop. Currently I am running windows 10 single language. Everything works just fine but when i turn off the laptop it wont shutdown the display goes off but the power led & the system led remains on. I have to hold the power key for 5sec to turn off my laptop every time.
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and found out that I am not able to print out all. When I was using Windows 8.1, I was able to print with ease. But now, it is unable to print.
