I'm building a new gaming PC. The specs are as follows:
Mobo: ASUS Z87 Pro-V Edition
CPU: Intel i5 4670k
GPU: Gigabyte GTX-770 OC 4GB Windforce
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600
PSU: Antec HCG-850M
Storage: 2x OCZ Vertex 2 50GB SSD
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
The problem appears to be with the two OCZ SSDs. After building the computer I've been getting sporadic function out of them. Half the time they won't show up in boot priority, when they do I have a hard time getting windows to install on them and when I can get windows installed and working I get BOOTMGR is missing on reboot half the time.
As of right now I only have one of the SSDs hooked up. So far I've:
- Installed SSD firmware update
- installed Intel chipset driver
- Ensured ACHI was enabled
- Formatted and partitioned drive several times.
When I try to install windows I get a notification saying Windows can't be installed on the drive because the hardware may not support booting for he drive. This must be false because I have been able to install and boot Windows on the drive. When I do have Windows installed and working I get frequent BOOTMGR is missing errors or BSOD-to-reboot during startup.
When I had Windows working I downloaded OCZ Tool Box and read the SMART values from the drive and it said the drive life left value was 98 which, if I'm reading it right, means that it has 98% drive life left. Could anyone help with this issue?
