Asus motherboard issues

[MattWalton]

Hello,

I just upgraded my PC with a new corsair h60 water cooler. Before the upgrade everything was working fine, but after the update S.M.A.R.T status check said the hard drive was bad, despite being tested in another PC and it was working perfectly fine.

The ssd is also not booting, with the BIOS just opening and the error "The current BIOS do not fully support this device". I have checked CPU temperatures and they are around 30 in the BIOS. I have also reset the BIOS using the battery method.

Specs:

I7 3770

Asus P8Z77-V LX

OCZ vertex 2 SSD

Sounds like the SSD died, the OCZ vertex 2 has a terrible Sandforce controller in it that can die without warning, Its a very common fault with the vertex 2.

We tested the ssd in another computer and it was detected and working fine.

Solved!

Plugged the SSD into the first SATA slot.
