Issues with new CMFSSD-128D1

I'm having an issue with my new SSD and I just want to confirm that it's not me. I have a (as the title says) CMFSSD-128D1 drive. My new system is about 10 days old. When I put it together it was working fine, I ran a stress test for about 3 hours and it worked perfectly. I can't remember leaving the PC running for any extended period of time because it wasn't set up with any programs and why having running doing nothing. When I was satisfied that it was working well, I took the drive with all my media out of my old PC and along with a WD Raptor drive, installed it into the new PC with the SSD as the Windows Drive. My issue now is that if I leave the PC running for a period of time, not sure how long it takes, the SSD disappears and I'm returned to a screen just after POST warning of no bootable disk. When I restart the PC the BOIS doesn't see the SSD and I have to disconnect the SATA cable to get it to reappear. I've changed cables and ports on the MOBO. I'm 99.9% sure that it's the drive but wanted to ask before initiating the RMA process. Thanks for the help.

He has an Extreme drive if that is the part number he posted and if so I would suggest checking with the MB Maker for the latest BETA BIOS and have you checked the firmware version on your drive with Crystal Disk Info?

Thanks for the reply's but I solved my problem, I wouldn't say that I figured it out tho. I have a Corsair 1000W PSU CMPSU-1000HX, when I initially built the system I used a HDD power cable with only two connects. When I added all the drives, three in total, I switched to a cable with four connects. I don't know what or why but that was the problem. I was going to take the drive back to the store that I bought it from but first I wanted to remove some of the personal info that I had off of it. I have a HAF X case, I put the SSD into one of the front HDD bays rather than opening the case. The SSD drive ran fine off of this. I decided to put it back into the case, using the same cable and SATA port and it failed again. I switched the one - four connector cable with two - two connect cables and the drive has been running fine for two days now. I don't understand why it would fail with three drives in parallel for power. But its working now, I'm going to post the question in the PSU forums and see if anyone has any ideas.
