1.)
I'm trying to keep all drivers up to date.
Therefore I had installed the latest chipset drivers from the AMD homepage (Ver. 14.12) as soon as they were released.
But the included storage driver didn't work with my old SSD -> "AMD SATA Controller Version 1.2.1.376 [23.09.2014]".
With this storage driver installed, the problem described in this thread happened every 10-20 seconds.
An interval like this: 20 seconds ok - 2 min freeze - 20 seconds ok - 2 minutes freeze... and so on.
Because of this I reverted the storage driver back to version "AMD SATA Controller Version 1.2.1.349 [27.06.2013]"
With this driver everything was fine on my old SSD. Even the boot was smooth at all times.
Today I retried the recent "amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-sb-sata-ahci-win8.1-win7" chipset drivers, which again include the storage driver "AMD SATA Controller Version 1.2.1.376 [23.09.2014], but the problem as stated above stays the same.
20s - 2m - 20s -2m ...
I downloaded some older amd sata drivers just now and tried them too (1.2.0.164 [07.01.2009]) -> 20-2-20-2...
The same happens when i revert to the "Standard AHCI1.0 serial-ATA-controller".
The only driver which functions (besides the sporadic boot delay) on the new SSD is version 1.2.1.349 - the same I used on my old SSD. As mentioned above, I didn't changed anything before and after the migration, because my system ran fine with the old SSD.
Device manager: No warning signals
Current storage driver: AMD SATA Controller Version 1.2.1.349 [27.06.2013]
2.)
I'm running the balanced power management options since ever.
As mentioned in your link, I'm too running the "PCI Express - Link State Power Management" setting at "Medium Energy Saving" (don't know the english expression).
I changed the settings as proposed in your link to "Off". No improvements.
3.)
I ran the BSODCollectionApp. It ran through everything but it failed to create a zip file by itself.
I zipped the content of the "SysnativeFileCollectionApp". Hope this is correct.
-> Attached the SysnativeFileCollectionApp.zip and perfmon.zip
