OCZ Vertex SSD crashes and reboots

[vkagarwal]

I have recently noticed that my OCZ Vertex SSD crashes my system periodically and then when the system reboots, the bios cannot find the drive. I have my OS on the SSD and all my programs on other drives. The only way that I can fix this issue is by powering off my system and turning it back on. Has anyone run into this issue or have any suggestions?

just curious...do you have the latest firmware installed on the drive?

As RU482 asked, what firmware? Have you updated lately?

Seems there are quite a few people at the OCZ forums that complain about the same thing, especially since going to firmware 1.5. I wonder if that firmware has a loose end that's somehow killing the itself and esentially bricking the drive.

Check here - much better place for your question.

I do have the 1.5 version of the firmware. Sometimes the error on the reboot says Boot Mgr missing, other times its a Windows error.

bad power supply or cheap sata cable. might check the connectors to see if anything has separated (bad solder). on both sides (mobo/drive)
