Is my SSD broken?

[Coreymc03]

I just had my PC running in the background while I was busy doing something else when it decided to restart itself. When it restarted a message appeared on the screen saying "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". So after restarting and entering the BIOS, my SSD isn't in the boot menu. I tried Switching SATA ports on the motherboard to check for a defective port and switching molex plugs in case it was that but still nothing. Do you think that the SSD needs replacing? I have a 128GB OCZ Vertex 4 as the boot drive and a 1TB WD Black for storage.

 

Thanks for any help!

Well considering you did nothing and it stopped working indicates you indeed now have a doorstop.

Just what I wanted to hear haha

Can it see your 1TB black drive? If so, plug you SSD in to the HHDs sata & power cable and if it can't see it then, it's dead. If it can't see your HHD either I'd say it's a motherboard problem.

Yes it can, just did what you said and switched it and the same message appeared
