narcosis71 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I had been running the F120 as my boot drive for some time. Recently I upgraded my Motherboard, Chip, RAM and Video card. The Drive became problematic - intermittent visibility in the boot up, BIOS etc. I messed with all sorts of settings in the BIOS, changed cables, changed the port the drive was plugged into, tried the SSD toolbox, but ended up hitting F11 every time I booted to see if the drive was being located. Well, the other day I started Windows only to get the BSOD. I tried the repair options, the refresh options, the reinstall options, but eventually got nothing back. I have taken the drive out after trying to locate it in the BIOS and plugged it into a SATA dock attached to my laptop. Lo and behold, there it is. With a fresh version of Windows on it and all my old data gone into the ether. I see that I am not the only one t have this problem, and of course, I am now about six months out of warranty (as usual). No firmware updates seem to exist for this drive. How do I get this sorted? I am considering buying another SSD (not Corsair, thanks) and starting from scratch. Advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 The controller in the SSD (SandForce 1200 or 1222) is not compatible with Haswell. This is the same for other SSDs using the same controller as your one. http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?34217-Sandforce-SSD-not-supported-by-Haswell&p=277220&viewfull=1#post277220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcosis71 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Great. So I have to go buy a new SSD because it cannot be fixed? Surely there is a way to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 You could try updating your motherboard's BIOS and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
