i have downloaded the intel ssd toolbox but when i run the firmware update it says

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

You may need to update the firmware manually as the toolbox application doesn't appear able to do so.
To update the firmware manually, you first need to retrieve the model number of your SSD,
you should find this in device manager.
Google it along with the word “firmware”.
Needless to say you should make sure you are installing the correct firmware for the drive.

how would i know if its the correct firmware? just by the name....

I would suggest you go to manufacturers website and download the firmware for the model number of your SSD.
I cant guarantee this will be the correct firmware or not,but it looks to me like the only way to fix the problem.It's either that or reverting back to windows 7,depends on how important it is to you.
