M4 Crucial SSD 256GB, I have to power cycle each startup..

[ttg_Avenged]

The topic basically says it, but I must power cycle EVERY time I boot up my computer. The computer (or mobo, for that matter) doesn't recognize the SSD, but if I let my comp. set idle in the bios for 10~20 mins, restart, it shows up. I can then use the OS/SSD all day no crashes. Weird.

This all started happening due to a power outage while in use. I don't mind reformatting the SSD due to RMA, I really don't, it's just the wait time. Anyways, any tips guys and gals? I was thinking maybe a firmware update might help.

Thanks.

Is your motherboard's BIOS on version 3603?
Is your M4's firmware version on 040H?
