SSD detected but will not boot
Last response: in Windows 7
Hi everyone,
I recently rebuilt my pc and when starting up, the CMOS Splash Screen is shown and when I try to load the OS in "start windows normally" it flashes a single frame of a BSOD and restarts or if I select Safe mode to use system restore, then the OS will try to load and Windows will search for the problem but not find it. I have already sent and received the Mobo, CPU, RAM, PSU and GPU for warranty testing (previously, it would not even POST) and apparently they had Windows 7 running fine once they updated the BIOS. Therefore, since everything else works fine, is my SSD dead or deadish? It is detected and I have selected it as the first preference to boot.
System Specs:
CPU: i7 2600k
Mobo: Gigabyte Z68 UD3XP
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4x4Gb 1600 CL9
PSU: Corsair HX750
GPU: Asus DCII gtx 560 ti TOP
DVD: Lite on 22x
Case: HAF 922M
SSD: Intel 520s 128GB
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
I appreciate any help and the sooner the better. I will attempt to create a USB boot but would like to get the SSD going as it has my work programs. Also, has anyone had problems with the 520s? I chose that one because apparently it was more reliable.

Best solution
is the ssd bios i400?? the last bios for the drive. if not be carefull if you do try and update an ssd firmware. some will wipe the drive when it does the update. the error your talking about sounds more like a damaged mb driver then a hard failure. i would try booting into safe mode. uninstall all the system devices under device manager. also if you loaded the mvp software uninstall it in safe mode. it can cause bsod. see if when windows reboots it reinstall and fixes the damaged device at start up. if it not a devices then boot into safe mode under msconfig turn everything off in start up and uninstall the anti virus software and reboot.
when you get into windows normal reinstall your anti virus.
