Cannot detect ssd (boot drive)!

[wan_hamizan]

Hai, sorry it's my first time making a thread, so feel free to ask if there's any missing information.

The story is that my pc has been running fine for past 2 years (no component changes), but past 2 weeks, my motherboard has occasionally failed to detect my ssd (boot drive). It's only after i pull out and insert the sata cable again that it will be detected.

Then it will run fine for like 3 days or so.

I checked with samsung S.M.A.R.T, doesn’t show any problem, even the window's hard disk check also does not find any problem.

Today i had the same problem, but now it cannot detect anymore despite pulling out and inserting the cable again.



Thank you for the help

SSD Samsung evo 850
Mobo Asus x99 strix gaming
Windows 10 64bit

Can you install the disk in another system to see whether the problem is the disk or other component?
Do you have another psu to try ?

Since i don't have any spare psu, i just tried by replacing the sata cable and the psu cable. I just noticed that my psu cable that is connected to the ssd is the one i bought seperately (not the one cane with the psu), so i tried to use my hdd psu cable vola, it does not have any problem aftet that. Haha thank you.
