Need help with SSD, I'm getting scared '_'

l3utters · December 5, 2014

SO I've got this problem. My PC was on for the whole night as I was busy with downloads on South Africa's shitty internet. The morning I left early to go work for my uncle and left the PC on so downloads could finish. While this was going on I saw no problems with the computer. So I came back after work and was using the computer when I got this error on Google Chrome. Every time I tried loading a video or gif I would get the "aw snap" error. (Adding this if it may be relevant) I tried a bunch of solutions like testing if apps might cause this with no fix so I decided to uninstall and reinstall chrome itself. I did this and the error stopped appearing. At the same time I decided to reinstall Razer synapse as I was getting this error everytime I booted my PC that was not causing the program from working but was getting extremely irritating. I reinstalled it and was prompted to restart my system. I did this and now the problem started. In my system I have a OCZ Vertex 450 256GB ssd and a 1TB seagate HDD. The ssd is used as the main boot drive and is running windows 8 while I also had windows 7 was on the hdd. So the continue with the problem I was rebooting the PC when I noticed that the loading screen was the one from windows 7 and booting itself took longer then usual. The PC booted into windows 7 and thus my older hhd. I restarted the PC and went into the BIOS the check if the drive was detected and surely enough it wasn't. After this I tried multiple solutions found online also switching SATA cables and port on the mobo.

So I'm sitting here with a hopefully non-broken SSD not booting and don't no what to do with it. Any help would be appreciated.

Ps. Excuse the bad english and It's my second language.

Is the SSD plugged into SATA port 0?
Have you updated the BIOS?
Have you tried only having your SSD plugged in and nothing else?
Have you swapped out components etc to make sure nothing else is at fault?

Also, I sympathise with the internet situation, I was recently in Cape Town and had to endure a grand download speed of 0.5Mbps which was pretty abysmal. However, had a great time overall so that made up for it. Still trying to find decent Biltong in the UK though...
