Crucial MX100 and random freezes
I just purchased a Crucial MX100 512GB SSD, and decided to re-install Windows 8.1 using the SSD for boot drive, after applying all of the updates from Windows Update, I started to re-install True Image 2015. Once re-installed the system started to start going unresponsive, firstly a single application, normally a browser, and then it spread and the entire system was unresponsive. The only way to restart the computer was by doing a hard reset.
I reinstalled each piece of storage, and determined it was True Image 2015 which was causing the problem. Once I had uninstalled True Image, the system became stable again, re-installing True Image, and the System would start freezing again. I will not be re-installing True Image until it is patched to fix this issue, and I not willing to pay for support, especially as just upgraded versions in September, the 30 days support limit is not acceptable.
I was using the latest build of True Image.

I'm glad I stumbled across this. I've also got an MX100 and was experiencing random freezes. I was about to return the MX100 suspecting a hardware fault even though all the diagnostics I ran said everything was fine. I've uninstalled TrueImage 2014 and haven't had a freeze since. Please also let me know when this is fixed.

Ditto here Ralph, I had the exact same issue as you. In addition I moved the drive to a different system and did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and it was great. Once I put TI 2015 on it had random freezes and issues shutting down/booting up within 5 minutes. Removed TI and it was happy again. Looking forward to a fix!

I had the same problem with TI 14. Thought it was the drive and was worried. Found a different message board (after multiple searches) and got the information about uninstalling True Image. I did and it worked perfectly. This is a pretty big issue and I'm surprised there isn't more out there on it. It pretty much makes the "bonus" software with the MX100 a liability.

I sent a PM to Ms. Anna Trifonova on the status of where Acronis were on fixing this issue. I just went from MRB BIOS to UEIF BIOS when I replaced my motherboard this week. At first I thought that it might be the mSATA (Crucial 512GB M550) SSD I had installed on the motherboard but reading posts in this forum I found one dated October 2014 where this issue was reported to Acronis. Like many of you I have been a user of TI for many years and this 2015 version is the worst RTM by Acronis.
Let's hope they get a fix ASAP - Hello Acronis! When will 6526 be out with the fix?
Thanks,

Hello Everyone,
we have an updated SnapAPI version that should help. Please contact me via a private message if you are willing to check the solution.
Thank you.

Is that updated SnapAPI available still? Is it working? I'm having the same problem with an MX300 I purchased.. I disabled TI 2014 in services and haven't had an issue since then but I'd rather run TI.
