I have an Asus M4A77TD, I've run an optical drive on the machine for 5+ years and it works flawlessly. I built a mirror machine for a friend of mine, and added a Sandisk 60GB SSD and also an optical drive for files. So the SSD was for Windows OS only. It worked for a month or so, then crashed. The computer shuts off and restarts but shows a black screen with a blinking cursor...like its trying to boot from an unknown source. So I set him up with a standard optical for now, and it works fine. I brought the drive home to RMA it, and I tried to access it as an EHD. It works, its all there, all the files are there...so I thought maybe his board is bad. I plugged it into my computer as the primary, it boots up normally to the desktop, I played a game or two on it for a few hours, then it crashes again. Since we both have the same board, I'm sure its a compatibility issue...or am I wrong?
My BIOS SATA settings were set to AHCI, I read somewhere that they should be IDE, so I changed them. SSD still crashed. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you
