SSD: Kingston120GB SSDNow V300 SATA (1.5 years old)
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
OS: Windows 8.1

Problems & Symptoms


    ■ After booting, everything freezes except cursor(which is replaced by a loading icon), I can still click but if I do the desktop turns white.
    ■ After shutting down the SSD disappears completely from BIOS and can thus not be booted to.
    ■ After turning off the PSU and then startinga, the SSD reappears again(until next shutdown) and if booted to results in a damaged drive message
    ■ After switching SATA cable and port, the SSD again reappears but if booted to it gets to the desktop this time. then it goes back to point 1.


I think the SSD is broken but it would be wonderful if that wasn't the case. Any help is appreciated. :)
