Uninstalled TrueImage 2013 due to snapman.sys BSOD--Now What?
I purchased and installed True Image 2013 w/Plus Pack on a fresh install (all drivers, service packs up to date) of Windows 7 Pro64 and immediately began having the familiar snapman.sys BSOD on bootup. Frustrating to say the least, having to reboot several times in order to get into Win7. There are no prior installs of Backup/Recovery software on the system. A local SATA drive with plenty of storage was used for the True Image backup directory
Decided to remove the product and run the cleaner/uninstall utility. All is well now...except I'm out $45USD.
Here are my system specs, what can I do to make this "award winning software" run with stability and reliability?
Windows 7 Professional (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601)
Dual 2.27 gigahertz Intel Xeon Procs
Mainboard: TYAN S7025
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 x2
32760 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory
C Drive: Samsung SSD 840 Series [Hard drive] (250.06 GB)
WD Velociraptor 300GB x4
Mediasonic Probox 4 w/Mediasonic USB 3.0 PCIe card + 4x WD Caviar Black 3TB drives (Unit mounted AFTER BSOD Problems)
2x LGHL-DT-ST BD-RE WH14NS40 ATA Device [Optical drive]
Windows Experience Index: 7.8
User Computer hardware/software Experience: 10/10
Thanks in advance for any help.

I originally purchased ATI 2013 to clone my hard disk to a Samsung 840 250GB SSD. I decided instead to do a clean install of Win7 x64, then install it for backup purposes.
I'm wondering if the optimizations that Samsung's "SSD Magician" performed on the new drive doesn't play nice with ATI 2013. Perhaps others running the software on an optimized SSD can weigh in on the problem?
thanks for the reply.

I am using a Samsung as well, with SSD Magician without problem.
What is your chipset? Are you using Intel Rapid Storage? DO you have the latest drivers? Are you using the SSD Caching mechanism?

The chipset is the ICH10, latest drivers and bios for the mobo. Its a common chipset I don't see how that can be an issue. The board has Intel Matrix Raid, (just another name for Rapid Storage) but I'm not using it, all raid drives are external

Make sure you have the latest Intel Rapid Storage technology drivers installed (v11.xx or something from the top of my head).
I have the same chipset on my computer. My Samsung is the 830, not the840 but I don't it matters at all.
You might want to do an install from a clean boot environment. Using msconfig, disable all non microsoft services and all startup items. Reboot, Install ATI. See if the problem subsists.
