Two days ago, I reinstalled F18 on my Corsair drive. I had the Samsung

and booted with just the Corsair and it's been rock solid since.
I assume you've looked at smartctl -a on this drive, and that's why you don't
think it's just a bad SSD that needs to be swapped out for replacement? I'm
using an 830, which is related to the 840, but admittedly different in some
important ways; but I'm not experiencing problems like you're describing.
And what have you found in dmesg for the time this is happening? Or 'journalctl
--follow' using ssh?
Each time it crashed, it *looked* like a dbus hang-up.
Why do you say this? There's nothing in your syslog that implicates dbus, or
anything else for that matter. I also think that's the wrong diagnostic tool
for this, actually.

I went so far as to install Windows 7 on the 840 Pro, downloaded and ran
Samsung's own tool to verify it was at the latest firmware and was
healthy. The smartctl is below.
Next time it crashes, I will check dmesg and run that command.
If it's not dbus, which I readily admitted it might not be :), I would
love to hear suggestions. The reason I thought it was related to dbus
was that I kept seeing so many dbus messages at the time of each crash.
Also, restarting the dbus.service would (all but one time) recover Gnome
and restore the system to working. Of course, that could be normal and
unrelated.
Again, I am open to advice or suggestions.
