Hi all.
Thanks to the folks who have tried to help me in my other thread. it is much appreciated and always welcomed.
So, I took it back to the store again today. the manager just was absolutely pissed when he saw me and started to get angry/shouting the odds saying its a problem with the software (Windows etc...) when clearly, that is not the case.
After arguing with him he shut up and continued to process a returns request, which was made earlier in the week and was raised by their tech guys who said that it sounds like the motherboard for sure because this is what had happened:
It was working fine until another random reboot except this time, the mobo could not detect the SSD disk at all. After numerous CTRL+ALT+DEL it still didnt pick it up.
after I physically turned off the system and switched it back on, it detected it and booted straight into Windows.
yes, I did get the branded PSU (Corsair) this time.
So the tech guy said it is most likely a problem with the motherboard but it is unfortunately we cannot figure out how to exactly reproduce the problem.
The store manager was shouting (yes, literally) the same thing and adding many other things and saying that in his 4 years that he sees the route of giving back my money....
Folks, this is my system configuration - can anyone tell me if something "smells" odd? I dont think so....
Asus mobo P6X58D-E.
12GB of Corsair DDR3 1200 Mem.
my SSD (120GB) by OCZ is on the Marvell 6GB/s port.
I have 2 other HDD's which are 2TB each and are WD branded SATA III.
These are on the Intel ports (I believe on the 6GB/s ports). These are configured as RAID0 in Windows Server.
I have another HDD which is 3TB of WD brand, and this is just on the other unoccupied Intel SATA port.
I have a DVD Writer drive which is on one of the Intel ports also.
My SSD is just for Windows to boot into. The program files AND documents/desktop/users are rerouted to the RAID Drive. This works fine with no problems in terms of loading the user profile and running Applications including office, developer tools, SQL Server etc... There are no errors in the event logs of any kind.
Does this hardware/setup/configuration smell bad at all from your views, that would cause anything fishy/odd happening?
Many thanks
