Seasoned veteran system builder here....
I bought a brand new components for Haswell system on the day that they were released. Since then I have had to rebuild my system 3 times. 3 Brand new SSD's of varying brands have been killed (no longer registered in BIOS).
Here are the specs of the machine
Haswell i7 4770K (not overclocked yet)
16Gb DDR3 2400Mhz
Gigabyte Motherboard socket 1150 Z87X-D3H
OCZ Vector 256 SSD
Corsair H100i watercooling closed loop
GTX 680
Seasonic 660w platinum
Fresh windows 7 Pro build each time.
My 1st build lasted a few weeks, then powered up one day and came up no boot device found and SSD was no longer showing in the BIOS.
Got a replacement SSD and rebuilt, attempted to backup after initial build and both backup softwares errored. This 2nd attempt lasted 2 days before the SSD failed.
Thought this could be caused by a bad batch of SSD's so decided to try a different SSD and went for the Samsung 840 Pro. Built it last night from scratch, left it on overnight, noticed that it couldnt see my USB HDD (warning bells) so I rebooted it, it sat on the shutting down screen for a long time and when it came back up it again said no boot device. This morning it could still see the SSD but I think next time it will possibly die again.
So as you can imagine this is hours and hours of building down the drain. I have narrowed down a few things it might be but I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with new haswell systems as I cannot find anything on Google.
It cannot be Memory as I have set this to the lowest clock speed so there is no overheating problems there
Processor seems fine, not overheating due to good cooler.
Gfx card is fine and was running in a previous system with no problems
The PSU is set to a 'Hybrid' mode... but this was set to normal during the 1st build and both have seen SSD's.
Motherboard?
Going into Sleep mode?
any help or ideas would be greatly recieved. One annoyed haswell customer who spent a lot of money and time!
