Hello all, I've been lurking these forums for years and the time has come where I finally couldn't solve my problem by reading through the sticky's and other threads containing a similar problem. Anyway I'll do my best to explain what exactly the problem is with my SSD and my system. I'll start telling everything I can about the problem.
Whenever I start my PC, I have to make sure my SSD is recognized & that it's the first selected option. Otherwise my comp tries to boot from my only other hard drive, which is a 1TB HDD and fails to boot, requiring me to hard-shutdown, turn my PC back on & then select to boot from my SSD.
So basically, my problem is this: When I restart my PC (for whatever purpose, updates etc) my SSD does not show up under BIOS, therefore my PC is unable to boot. But when I shutdown ( as opposed to restart ) the SSD will show up just fine under BIOS, & Windows will boot just fine. HOEVER: When my PC boots, after a little time [say 20-30 min] my SSD (which at this point can be seen under both device manager & disk management) somehow disappears, poof, gone. I don't know why or how this is happening, and it's become pretty annoying. I've updated my BIOS and my drivers for all my devices to their current availability. If I can remember anything else I will provide any and all information I can possible. If ANYONE has had a problem like this please tell me what you did to fix it!
I pretty much bought my SSD card a year ago and have been using about 3GB for "System Reserved", basically a waste of my money if I don't get it's full potential. Let me know of any information I can provide to make this easier on anyone who's interested in helping me. Any and all help is honestly greatly appreciated!!
EDIT: Pics if they help.
