Installing on SSD: moving /tmp and /var into tmpfs in RAM memory

Here is an example of the garbled text that I am getting from the Samsung 840 drive,
I’ve moved the drive to machines with similar hardware configs, and have totally wiped the drive using the Samsung bootable exe available from Samsung Magician and then totally openSuse 42.3 with standard SSD optimizations…still I get freeze-ups and this weird malformed text. Note that all of the capital "D"s and lower case"p"s are affected. This machine with the Samsung 850 installed runs fine. I think the drive is toast even though SMART drive calls it “good”. Go figure. Anyone here ever seen this before?

Here is another bizarre garbled screenshot, http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk152/portsample/ReallyGarbledText_zps0hijduti.png

After this happened, all text on the screen was corrupted as above, (icon labels, other windows, etc)

Hi
And yet another bizzare photobucket image Suggest you use imagebam or openSUSE paste…

Sure it’s not the Desktop environment in use, does it duplicate for a test user if your create on and login, try ICEwm?

Got it. This resolved the situation:
Open /etc/default/grub as SU. Change the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash”, to this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“intel_idle.max_cstate=1 quiet splash”, then update Grub by running, “grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg” as SU and reboot.
I tried a variety of solutions from overprovisioning >30% of the SSD, to several different partition configuration types, and file systems w/no success.
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051 for further information. Thanks.
