I have windows 7 booting off my Samsung SSD. Sometimes I cannot boot and windows gives me error code oxc000000e.

When I go into the bios, the SSD is not being detected. Same as when I enter a windows USB, it doesn't give me my SSD as an option to install windows on.

Then I wait a little bit with the computer off and I am able to restart it and boot into windows normally.

This is a reoccurring problem and I've already reformatted and reinstalled windows several times. I've run Samsung's magician and no errors detected. Windows memtest shows no errors with my ram either.

Could this be an issue with my cmos battery? My motherboard is Gigabyte H97-D3H
