Hey all,
I have been having trouble with what I think is my SATA Controller but I am not 100% certain. I had to change my HDD with windows on it because it died (I tested this HDD in an external USB mount). When I installed a SSD I started getting random BSOD's and having files being Orphaned/ completely disappearing. This mostly affecting Win32 but it has also happening on my other 2 HDD's. I have tested all 3 HDDs with different SATA cables and in different SATA ports with no luck.
I tried to install windows on one of the other HDDs and it still is happening.
I have run a Memtest+ and got no errors but I am not sure if there's anything else I should look at.
I am currently looking at replacing my Motherboard with a Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H Motherboard but before I do I want to know if theres any other way of testing what my problem could be.
Build:
OCZ Vertex Plus 60GB SSD
Corsair Hydro Series H80 CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 580
Corsair AX850 Gold Power Supply
Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB (2x4GB) Vengeance DDR3
Intel Core i7 2600K
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 Motherboard

When I turned on my computer today to have a look at BIOS update I found that more files were orphaned but fortunately. I can now get into programs I couldn't access and device manager. I am not keen on flashing my bios so I have decided I might just buy that new motherboard.
I have one more question before I do that though - I am not 100% certain how big mATX boards are, so would you be able to tell me if a 580 and the H80 would fit on the board? I know it's a silly question but I just want to be certain.
