Hello,
For quite some time, I thought my SSD was dead, because it was just not responding at all, but then I also started to have some "Power state failure" BSOD's on my regular hard drive every time I put it out of sleep/hibernate and also the boot times are extremely long! Like 6 minutes (Tested it using Soluto and it's almost all by windows according to it). I also have very few programs on the boot list. Almost everything is disabled, so its not that.
So my question is, is my SSD really dead and am I having some software issue (which I couldn't resolve so far) or are my power connectors in my laptop malfunctioning, which would cause this?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but since SSD's use less energy than HHD's, wouldn't the SSD work if I switched it with the hard drive, since I know that at least one connector sort of works? And then that the HHD shouldn't work in the other slot where the SSD was in?
SPECS:
Asus G75VX (2 years international warranty. Hurrah!)
-i7 - 3630QM at 2.3-3.3 ghz
-gtx670mx with 2gb ram.
-16gb 1600mhz RAM
-OCZ Vector 256gb SSD & 750gb 7200rpm HHD
-Windows 8 (not 8.1) with 'startisback' installed.
Hope this helps! Will be switching the HHD and SSD later today or tomorrow. Thanks!
