System Specs:
Motherboard Asus P8Z77-V Pro
CPU: i7 3770k
PSU: Antec EA650 Green
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 670 2GB OC
SSD: OCZ Vector 128GB SSD Indilinx Barefoot

First problem, every time I started my system, it would run a scan on the SSD for no reason. Figured there was something wrong with it, and exchanged for a new one. Same problem.

Today, suddenly the SSD disappeared from my boot devices completely. I am unable to find the SSD in the bios, and the system can't boot up.

About to give up on it and just use the HDD. Any suggestions on troubleshooting?

The ssd is connected to the Intel Z77 Sata 6 Gb/s connector on the motherboard.

Download the OCZ Toolbox ISO image, burn to USB pendrive, boot off it, check for firmware update. If you plan to reinstall Windows, secure erase the drive first.

@AZCompTech Yes, tried other connectors as well.



When I tried it, the program said it can't find any devices. So I took it to my brother in laws computer and his bios also couldn't see the SSD. I am assuming it is dead.

Just noticed the SSD was in contact with the computer's case.

If I put rubber separators between the SSD and the case, the screws would still be touching the SSD and the case, so I can't see this being a problem as it is, am I wrong?
