OCZ SSD not recognised

[callum.mcconnell]

Hi. I brought the SSD just after Christmas and migrated my OS on to it. It worked fine until February 24th when my computer froze. I left it for 10 minutes to see if it would sort its self out. After 10 minutes I restarted my PC and logged on. It was working for 5 minutes and then crashed again. I restarted again and it said insert boot disc. I installed windows 7 ISO on a USB stick and tried to repair the drive. the computer did not see the SSD. I went into my BIOS to see if it was recognised, and it was not. I then put the SSD into my friends PC and it still did not work. What should I do next?

 

My system:

 

Case: Corsair Air 240

CPU: i7 4770k (OC to 4.5Ghz

Motherboard: Gigabite G1 sniper m5

GPU: Nvidia Evga 970 FTW(no oc)

Ram: 16gb HyperX

PSU: Corsair 600W 80+ 

CPU Heat sync: Corsair H100i

HDD: 4x4tb wd greed drives

SSD: OCZ ARC 100 480gb

did yopu try different sata cables?

 

drive might be toast.

 

also, you migrated the drive... means you still have the old drive with the operating system still on it? Does that boot?

Hey callum.mcconnell,

 

You have tried most of the basic troubleshooting there is. Since it is not recognized in BIOS neither on your or your friend's system, chances are that the drive has failed. You can try connecting the SSD externally (SATA to USB cable, docking station or an enclosure) and see if it't recognized. I would also recommend contacting the manufacturer's support and see what help they can provide.
