Hello, Thank you for reading my post 
I have a major problem with my SSD. I bought a OCZ Vector 256GB and I had it plugged into one of two sata III 6 g/bs ports on my Asus sabertooth X58 motherboard that I bought in 2011. It recognised it fine so I did a clean installation of windows and for the past 3 months it has worked great and super fast. Today while I was playing World of Warcraft I got the blue screen of death and the computer rebooted. When it booted back up I looked in the error reporting and it said that something about an error with files and "running chkdsk might solve the problem", I tried chkdsk using the cmd prompt but it would not work so I did a chkdsk /r so it would run when I next booted, restarted the machine and Windows 8 ran the chkdsk but it hung at 17% for 2 hours, so I rebooted the PC by powering it off and now my motherboard will not recognise the SSD at all 
Here are a list of things I have done to try and resolve the issue:
1. Left it out for 5 hours to drain all power out of it
2. cleared my CMOS by taking out the battery in the motherboard.
3. attempted to update my BIOS (but apparently it already has the latest version).
4. Changing the SATA cable with a different one and trying it in another SATA port
5. plugging the SSD into another PC with a different cable to see if it would recognise it (no success)
I have a Sabertooth X58 motherboard with 6 gig of ram, 1000w PSU and 2x Gforce 560 running in SLi.
Can anyone recommend anything else I can do? I was stupid and did not back up my data so I have lost a lot of documents so sending it away for repair would just loose everything
Thankyou for reading
