Hello!

For some reason, my Crucial MX200 SSD stopped working today. During regular use, the computer froze, crashed, and upon rebooting it, the SSD vanished from BIOS. I tried using different cables and ports that I know work (other drives running off of them), but nothing happened. As a last resort, I plugged it into another computer, and it started working like nothing ever happened. Boots fine, reads and writes fine, just doesn't boot or read on my computer.

Specs of my PC:
-i7 6700k (base clock)
-ASUS ROG z270F
-ASUS GeForce GTX 1070
-16GB 3000MHz DDR4
-Crucial MX200
-(2x) WD 1TB Drives

Specs of other PC:
-i3 4130
-MSI MS-7817
-4GB DDR3
-WD 1TB mechanical drive

If I can provide any more information I'd be more than happy to. Thank you in advance!

Yes, I have. No luck with that though. Same result. I did try using another SSD though, and that seemed to work just fine. An issue with the Crucial drive, I suppose?

Do other drives work in the computer that can't read the SSD? Your sata controller could of died?

The other drives work fine in the same SATA ports. It's just the SSD.
