I built my PC a little over a year ago with a 240GB Patriot Blast SSD for Windows 10 and it has worked fine until a week or so ago when it booted up with the "no operating system found" message. The drive didn't appear in the BIOS, so I changed SATA cables and unplugged my other drives. Finally got it to show in the BIOS but couldn't get it to boot into Windows. Half the time it wouldn't show up in the BIOS still.
I tried connecting it to a totally different PC, also running Windows 10. Sometimes it shows up and sometimes it doesn't. Once I saw it in "This PC" I tried running the built-in error check, but before it finished the drive disappeared again. Each time I boot it up with this second PC I try plugging it into a different SATA port. It just doesn't stay connected long enough to run software tools or "This PC" freezes (not responding). Is the drive really dead or can it be repaired somehow? Having the same issue with the drive plugged into two different computers seems to indicate that it's not a BIOS problem. It must be an SSD problem.
