Hmm... I just installed an Intel 330 in to my dual-core Atom SFF machine and got a BSOD shortly afterwards, while copying files over from a 4 GB SD card. However, I had also installed an extra 1 GB of RAM. The existing RAM was 2 GB Kingston DDR2-800 but I installed an extra 1 GB Micron DDR2 667.
I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostics program and it told me there was some sort of hardware error and that I needed to contact the manufacturer. I then reseated the memory and tested the memory individually and they both were fine with no hardware error, and then tested them again together and again they were fine. I also ran Memtest-86 and it said they were fine together. According to System Information for Windows (3rd party application) the computer is running at 333 MHz for the memory so the Micron RAM is not being overclocked. However, just to be sure, I put the 333/667 MHz RAM in memory slot 0 and the 800 MHz RAM in slot 1. (I know for some older machines if you put the slower RAM in slot 1 the machines can get confused and try to run the slower RAM at faster speed, but that didn't seem to be the case here.)
I also ran the Intel SSD Toolkit which told me to deactivate Superfetch for Windows 7 so I did.
My machine is a 3 Gbps SATA, not 6 Gbps, and I couldn't find a way to specifically set the Intel SSD to pure 3 Gbps mode. The system is an Acer Aspire Revo R3610 with Atom 330 dual-core and nVidia ION, on an nForce board. I also note online that for Intel 330 and other SandForce SF-2281 BSODs, there is a recommendation to install Intel's
RST and AHCI Driver and GUI driver. If you load up Device Manager and look under the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section, it should tell you which drivers you have. I didn't load Intel's driver because it's an nForce board, and it's running the NVIDIA nForce SATA Controller driver.
Since reseating the RAM, I haven't had another BSOD. Hopefully it's not the SSD, and reseating the RAM fixed the problem. Fingers crossed.
