All-
I'm turning to the masses for some help...I'm already on my second SSD, so my patience is wearing thin! IF anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!
After having issues with my first Agility 3, I RMA'd it and thought I was happy. I was running along for a couple of weeks (which really translates into a few hours of actual computing time), and got a BSOD. I THINK it was a F4 Stop Code.
After the BSOD reboot, my mobo couldn't see my SSD. I got the "Insert Boot Device" error. If I shut down the machine for a few seconds, then reboot, it would boot into windows for about 3 minutes, then lock up, and crash. At the same time, I noticed that the SSD wouldn't show up in the boot order in BIOS (oddly enough, if I went to the Advanced pages, it would show up). Since windows wouldn't run, and Windows couldn't seem to find the Windows installation when booted to the CD, I had no choice to erase the hard drive, flash the BIOS to 1805, and start over.
That seemed to work, for another couple of weeks, until the same thing happened...F4 stop code, no recognized SSD. Right now the machine is running, after a week of downtime, but I think I'm on borrowed time.
Does anyone have any NEW ideas? I've tried all the usual stuff, new cables, new BIOS, etc. It seems to me like the problem is either with the SSD (again), or the MoBo, but I can't figure out how to pinpoint which!
