Hey guys,
Just wanted to get the hive opinion before I look into possibly RMA'ing my new OCZ Vertex 3 SSD.
Have the SSD on Channel 0 of my Gigabyte EP-45R board (yes, i know.. I need to upgrade to the Intel i5/7 and get full 6gbps SATA II) and it will randomly blue screen (usually hours in between). I'm not doing anything intensive and it's always with random tasks. I've had it happen when gaming, skype conference call, or just plain sitting.
When rebooting, the motherboard will take a while to pick the OCZ drive up during the AHCI drive detection process and when it hits the windows partition, it will say that it can't find the bootloader and just hang.
Using SSD Life, it reports the temperature at 26 C and that SMART status is good with the drive being healthy.
Any suggestions? I've swapped the SATA connection and the SATA cable. I've added fans to the system to help keep everything cool (now have 3 200's and 2 120's) just to be safe with all of my other drives.
