Gu4rD Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Well, before anything i wanna say hello cos im new to this forums. It happened like twice some months ago and now.... once it was while i was playing and the other when the PC was idle'ng BSOD..(it restarts) and woops: Boot error. Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key. ok, i pressed crt+alt+del and then i went to bios and didnt see the ssd as primary boot drive it wasnt there. restarted over again my pc and then it rebooted fine. checked if the cables were bad, plugged them over again to make sure they were correctly plugged and btw, didnt see any event logs about bsod, just that system was shutted down nothing else. p8z68v-lx motherboard force gt 120gb ssd (firmware 1.3 read that on intel rst software) Thanks for taking a look.

Toasted Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Fw 1.3 is old the next FW 1.3.3 if i recall correctly should fix the issue. but update the drive FW to 5.03 as that is the latest. Changelog for 1.3.3 Fixed a rare condition when waking from slumber mode that could cause the drive to hang. This can cause a BSoD if the drive is the primary storage boot device. Fixed a rarely occurring issue during S3/S4 cycling to handle marginal flash timing. This can cause a BSoD if the drive is the primary storage boot device. Fixed an issue during a firmware update where APM would be marked disabled in identify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gu4rD Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Toasted thanks for these reply, could u please explain shortly how to update the firmware of this drive. after updating firmware should i clear the bios and the operating system (fresh installing OS)? As i said this bsod isn't really frequent and it can be while im using the pc or not.. what does this mean: slumber mode (my config in w7 is to never sleep/turn off hdd cycling to handle marginal flash timing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 There is a PDF file included with the updater with instructions on updating the firmware. If you don't understand it, feel free to ask. If your drive isn't detected after updating the firmware, Yes, reset the BIOS to default by shorting the pins or by removing the CMOS battery and see if that helps. Slumber mode Power Management of the SATA Interface The SATA physical interface (PHY) consumes a significant portion of the total power budget of the host or peripheral electronics. SATA provides the means to place the PHY into reduced power modes. As portions of the PHY are shut down to conserve power, the ability of the SATA device to respond to commands is impacted. The SATA protocol therefore enables the tracking of the power modes of devices and makes allowances for the added latencies required to wake up from reduced power modes. The SATA specification defines three SATA interface power modes: 1. PHY Ready (PHYRDY) - the SATA PHY is ready to send/receive data 2. Partial - the PHY is in a reduced power mode; exit time can be up to 10 microseconds 3. Slumber - the PHY is in a reduced power mode (lower power than Partial mode); exit time can be as much as 10 milliseconds Source: http://www.sata-io.org/documents/SATA_Power_Management_article_final_04_08_2009.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 31, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 31, 2013 It is hard to say what will happen in the future, but for intensive purpose this version of the firm should solve the issue as you defined it. So if you continue to have problems I suspect it may not be the drive that is causing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
