Must be sporadic. I have a Samsung 850 EVO 1TB that is working just fine with Windows 10.

So if I understand correctly, you only have one hard drive in this computer?

If so, I'd purchase the 250 gig SSD and use it solely for the OS and connect the old drive to Sata #2. That way, you can access your old data while having the primary drive dedicated to the OS.

Also, in doing so, your data is on a separate drive and would be unaffected by a virus or other cyber attack. Personally, my OS drive has the OS and programs only, with separate drives for data (and a USB3 2 TB drive as data backup).

Ditto

So weird. Maybe it isn't everyone, but here's a 750 post thread with a bunch of people complaining about it over the last few months.

I got a text about this thread this afternoon, but I have taken on a new job and am swamped like you wouldnt believe. (Including setting up a finance office, and half of a BDC with PCs that I pieced together from a boneyard~)

Catch me up, did we complete a build?

What the problems is?

Ram doesnt technically have to be the same brand or anything.

Just same speed and timings.

find yourself some deals on www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap

Correct. Just have the 1TB. I have a bunch of externals for backups, but only one dedicated. I'll have to find a time next weekend to set this all up. I'm assuming this is easy to do?

I'm trying to find out what is the max RAM I can have in this system. I'm thinking that's all I'm going to upgrade with the SSD.

Would this RAM work with my current MB?

It seems like it would, however, read this from your mobo mfg page.

You have a pretty old set up, it's hard to find reliable info.

Congrats on the new job. Completed a build over 6 years ago and seeing what I should upgrade.

I'm definitely upgrading the RAM and to a ssd drive. I'm debating on motherboard, graphics card and processor.

Yeah that's way over my head. I definitely want to upgrade the ram I have at minimum.

This is an incorrect statement

About 5 months ago I bought the Samsung 850 EVO V-NAND SSD 250 GB and swapped it into my HP Pavillion g6 with Windows 10.

Transferring over all the files was easy with the Samsung online tool.

The difference in boot up from my old POS drive is about 15-20x faster, maybe more. I also doubled my RAM.

The only issue I have is that my computer runs a little hot now and I may need to upgrade the fan.

What RAM would you recommend, Buck if I keep my old MB?

Go to www.crucial.com. They have an app that will scan your computer and provide a list of compatible RAM.

That said, I wouldn't recommend purchasing RAM for a 6 year old motherboard. That thing might blow at any second, leaving you with RAM that isn't compatible with the latest generation of boards.

As much as you probably don't want to do it, I'd suggest biting the bullet and purchasing a new board, processor, RAM and SSD. I see no reason why you can't use your current graphics card.
