Getting Hot Swap to work on Gigabyte mobo

[Guest]

I have a Gigabyte EP35c-DSR3 mobo
I have installed Vista64 WITH AHCI enabled in the BIOS
after the install Vista found and installed ahci drivers from the web

It should work!
but it boots into vista and works for a few minutes (less than 5)
and then crashes sometimes a black screen sometimes a Bsod.

I cant re-boot as the disk is not recognised afterwards and I have to restore it from a backup.

has anyone got any idea's about this I have read a huge amount about similar problems but most are caused by the drivers being added after the Vista install at a later date.

thanks

It looks like the hard disk gets corrupted. Please provide complete system specs and let us know if you overclock.

Is the boot disk the only one that gets corrupted? Does it get corrupted if installed permanently instead of being inserted into a SATA drive carriage?
