F120, Disappears from bios after idling?

[geekhaven]

Im getting this issue on an G73JH-RBBX05 with the i7-720 cpu. It's a laptop and should provide a fairly solid foundation of what is inside it.

f120, it disappears from bios after idling for a while and rebooting. Does not crash.

This has been reported with some systems and the work around would be to Disable Suspend to RAM and Hybrid Suspend and I would suggest you also disable TRIM until the new firmware is released from Sandforce.

And I am sorry there is not ETA at this time for the firmware but we do expect it soon.

I would also check the firmware version on your drive and check the driver version your NB Controller is using as well. And check with the NB Manufacturer to see if they have any BIOS updates.

awww, does this also cuase the 'doesn't appear in windows 7 install' Oh yeah I did the remove partition add partition, decapitated a chicken I'm now looking for a virgin to sacrifice. Unless someone has some better advice.

Well I am not even going to Comment on the Virgin seeking or Chicken pluckin comments, but does that mean you were not able to Get Windows Installed?

I was able to install windows 7 on the drive if I partitioned and formated the drive in linux first.

Pain is the **** since I was trying to install a recovery partition.
