Hi, I've been having a few issues with my PC booting up of late, it has a SSD ocz vertex2 and is just over a couple of years old. The boot works I would say 50% of the time and the rest gives a few out comes of how its not going to boot. They are:
1: Black screen with _ flashing in the top left corner. Computer needs restart
2: Gets past this screen but sits on the windows 7 boot screen
3: Black screen with Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media and press a key
4: An error such as TRAP 00000030 EXCEPTION followed by alot of random codes
These all on reboot usually request that the system repair run which seems to find no errors, I thought this may have been due to Peripherals such as a xbox controller and external hard drives but removal gave a little respite of a few weeks but its back to its usual start up issues.
To my knowledge the computer has never crashed while in windows or blue screened in the years ive had it.
I'd be really appreciative if anyone could let me know if this is a SSD issue as on googling alot of problems seem to be the with the vertex2 SSD and also any tips to transfer this boot drive to my internal sata if it is gone.
Oh another thing that could be said for the SSD is that its boot time on purchase has gone from around 10 seconds to nearly a minute which again makes me think of trouble.
Computer is:
vertex2 111GB
Windows 7 home
I7 2600k at 3.4
8gb ram
Thanks in advance for any help
