New motherboard seeing SSD only intermittently

I have upgraded the motherboard and processor in my under-the-TV PC - Asus H97M-PLUS with an i5 4460. It will now recognise my OCZ Vertex 2 100GB boot drive only intermittently. I was able to get it running for long enough to do a clean install of windows but it went haywire soon after - constant BSODs, sometimes not even seeing the SSD in BIOS. I have tried switching the sata data and power cables around - and changing the ports on the mobo - no issues with them. Can anyone suggest a way of fixing this nightmare!? Is the motherboard faulty? Is there a bios setting I need to change?

Other components:
PSU - OCZ CoreXstream 500
CPU cooler - arctic freezer 7
RAM - corsair 4GB 1600
1TB data drive
BluRay drive
GPU - ASUS R9 270OC

For reference, I was previously using an Athlon X3 455 on a Gigabyte 870 motherboard, with all the other components being as above.
