C300 64GB SSD problems

I have had this SSD for a while now and I am having just a ton of problems. I install Win7 64bit on it and it will work completely fine for two days. After all of my updates are done for windows, the computer will eventually go to a blue screen. The blue screen has to due with something of memory dumping, but I restart my computer and Win7 cannot be found on my SSD. Also my MoBo cannot always detect it. I got fed up with it after a month and just installed Win7 on my HDD. I then installed SC2 on my SSD to see what would happen. I am in a game and I get a read error. I then check the SSD on disk management and it is not even detected! I then restart my computer and the MoBo is not detecting the SSD again. I turned my computer completely off and switched the SATA port in which it was plugged in. It started up and it recognized the SSD. It then started the whole process over of not being detected by my MoBo. It seems to happen after Win7 updates, but I checked the updates and none of them have to deal with drivers or SATA ports. The specs on my computer are as follows:
Intel Core i5-2500k + MSI P67A-G43
G.Skill Ripjaws F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL 2 x 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
XFX HD-695X-ZNFC Radeon HD 6950 1GB PCI-E Video Card
Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAC064MAG-1G1CCA 2.5" 64GB SSD
Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
Samsung SH-S222AB SATA DVD Burner
Corsair 650TX V2 650W PSU
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM
Asus VE248H Black 24" Widescreen LED Monitor
Cooler Master HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN1-GP ATX Case

Any help would be appreciated. I really want to use my SSD because when it works... it just flies!
 
will updated from 0006 to 0007 fix this? I read the things that 0007 fixed and it didn't mention anything about this issue.... I guess I will try.
 
I did not actually get to do it due to work conflicts. I will update this when I do the upgrade to firmware.
 
Whenever I purchase a SSD, the very first thing I do is upgrade the firmware immediately. I have 6 SSDs in use on my home's network, and (knock on wood) have not had any issues yet when doing things this way. YMMV.
 
@jmoyer: you listed that you have a P67 based mobo, what SATA port is the C300 plugged into?
