I've been seeing some wierd issues ever since I switched over to my OCZ Vertex drive. After initial install Win7 x64, everything seems to work fine for a month or two. But then I seem to get what appears to be data corruption after reboots. Applications won't load and a reinstall is the only way to get them to work again. After a while Windows start failing and the only way to get a useable system is to perform a reinstall. Now after a reboot it takes about 8 mins to reboot while it fixes orphaned files and errors in index entries.

Any ideas on what I can do to a.) prove that this is an issue with the SSD and b.) fix/prevent it from happening in the future?

System info:
i7 920
eVGA x58 mATX
OCZ Vertex (1.6)
 
first thing I would do, is replace the SATA cable.
if issues persist, try a different SATA port on the motherboard.

if issues still persist, I would (atleast temporarily) replace the HDD if a spare is available, to verify the issue doesn't persist with another hdd.
If issues are resolved with a different HDD, then RMA the SSD.
