volvorwd Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Think i might have fixed it, idk what happened or why but i had my Force LS in my HTPC trying to get it to show up n work as a slave drive well i booted off my htpc boot drive. It did not show up in the bios or windows as usual. i had pretty much giving up n posted my original thread asking for help. I left my htpc on a while i was doing other things around the house, well i came back to the computer n restarted it to re connect the bluray drive in the htpc as i had given up n was going to RMA The SSD.................... but when it had re booted out of sure luck my SSD booted up as well in windows as a slave. Ran corsair ssd tool box n it comes back as ok, so i checked for updated firmware n i was running the latest SAFC01.5, ok good n i let the SSD optimize itself via trim. all good so shut down, disconnected the htpc's boot drive to try n boot off the SSD and it did. Windows failed to load and after a few times it went into recovery mode n fixed it self n booted up like nothing ever Happened. so i put the SSD back in the gaming rig n it boots up as well like nothing happened. I am confused, in all my years since win 98, i have never had a HDD or a SSD freeze up like this drive. I have had complete failures but never this. What the heck happened. Why did this drive act like this n then come back perfectly fine????????????:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
