Those SSD problems are very random and honestly, I would never have guessed
it would cause so many problems if I haven't experienced it myself. One
very strange issue was the display would start to leave artifacts on the
screen, after you closed a window, part of the frame would stay on the
screen. Even a refresh of the desktop would not solve the problem.

The drive I had was an OCZ Vertex 3 which used the Sandforce controller, at
the time it was very well known to lock up and after a few firmware patches
they said it was fixed. But my problems continued, while my friend's system
had no issues on the same drive. So I finally swapped to an HDD, then a
Samsung Evo which has been running great since then.

Work has also reported a higher rate of failure with SSD's in the data
center for writing stalls and issues like this, but I can't say which
vendor they are using.
