T3500 SSD upgrade help
Hi All
I have a T3500 that I have upgraded so that it runs 3x 256gb SSDs. That all works fine.
I intrdoduced a 1TB SSD for a back-up solution and this worked fine for a while. Then I started gettting the BSoD. When I un-plug the 1TB and re-boot,everything is fine.
Is there any way I can get this to work?
Spec:
Motherboard: Dell E139765
CPU: Xenon X5650 2.67Ghz
RAM: 6x 4Mb DDR3 PC3-10600
SSD: WD Blue 3d NAND 1TB
Yours, Gareth

Hi @Gareth,
A few ideas: Have you tried switching the order the drives are plugged in?
Is the CMOS battery less than 5 yrs. old? A bad battery will cause seemingly unrelated bizarre problems.
Pgh. that was here was edited since 1TB drive was once working.
What brand is your 1TB SSD?
Does your T3500 have the latest BIOS that's for it? Not that BIOS updates are always recommended, but are sometimes necessary to get hardware working.
