BSim, the system has two fast SSDs. Found the solution! The culprit was the Intel Graphics driver! I've updated it to the latest version several weeks ago. Uninstalling the driver solved the problem right away (even without a reboot)! I've then installed the old gfx driver offered by Windows...

Core Temp shows the same values. No overclocking software running. Bios (UEFI) is latest version as stated in OP. UEFI is currenctly at default + Power States, but I have tried all options. I don't think this is a hardware issue, as limiting max cpu state drops the frequency right away. If I...

Power Saver Maximum Processor state is at 100% by default already. I've tried custom profiles, but when creating one you are asked for the base profile, so the behavior stays the same.

This is of course set to 5% and 100%. As stated in the OP the balance profile is to defaults.

I have a Windows 7 Pro x64 system used as a home server. Hardware: Core i5, 4670K (3.4 GHz) on an ASRock Z87E-ITX with the latest UEFI firmware. I've discovered today that the CPU frequency is too high when the system is doing virtually nothing. CPU-Z shows a CPU frequency of 3797 MHz...

Thank you very much!

We have no failed drives so far. We have replaced 10 Intel SSDs with Samsung, and stopped further replacement until some official word is spoken about this issue.

We've used OCZ drivers several years ago. After some have failed we have decided to move to Intel, after Anand recommended it due to reliatibility. Now we were in the process of upgrading, and the initial decision was going to the Samsung 840 Pro. We've stopped after replacing 10 drives, and are...

This says actually nothing. The reviewers perform stress-tests that simulate one years usage in a week. Your drive working for 3 weeks under normal circumstances says nothing about the reliability. It may very well fail within the first year of usage. I'm reading Anandtech since at least 10...

I have read every message in the thread, and must have missed anything about Samsung or Anand confirming a bug in the pre-release firmware. Would you please point me to the post.

From Anand's OCZ Vector review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6363/ocz-vector-review-256gb/10 "Should OCZ be able to deliver Samsung-like performance and reliability, then I'll really be impressed." Since both Samsung 840 Pro drives Anand had received for testing failed within weeks, his new...
