OCZ Vertex - help needed

DrOctopus · Aug 7, 2010

Hey guys, i cant see my Vertex in bios.

I tried different changing different sata ports, swapping power cables and google'd issues related to the vertex series for some potential fixes, still nothing.

This is my first SSD - I'm hoping that I've made some noob mistake but it seems to me like it might be dead...

Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

I'm using a MSI GD-85 mobo.....

P55-GD85

I think it should recognize that SSD

, are all of your cables checked carefully

Any BIOS problem

That's the best I can do

DrOctopus · Aug 7, 2010

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, i have checked the cables at least 4 times. Do you think a bios flash might help?

Anarchy0110 · Aug 7, 2010

That P55 Motherboard should realize the SSD with ease. Currently having no idea about your problem, still thinking now. Btw not sure about flashing the BIOS is gonna work, unless you have an old BIOS version on your P55-GD85

DrOctopus · Aug 7, 2010

Yeah, that's what i was thinking, given its a relatively newly released board.....I'm actually wondering whether it could be the sata controller acting up as i had a 'no bootable devices' error the other day, rebooted and everything was fine.

Probably should have mentioned that earlier....

However, it only happened once and I'm not sure if a bios update would help.(??)

That's a big one outta there. Probably it could come from the external SATA controller chip

Try to plug in other SATA ports (If you have done that then :banghead:

out of idea)
P/S: I can't use proper English Grammar but I think 100% you guys still understand what I mean :rockout:

DrOctopus · Aug 7, 2010

Np man, I'm no grammar nazi.

I just tried using one of the sata 6gbps slots to see if it worked; it didn't. Now my wd black isn't registered by the bios either!! But it still boots? Then i checked the boot order thing, and it has the prefix [IDE] before it.

what the hell?

ok first disable all your HDD's and keep only SSD plug on, after that go to bios and look for raid configuration section and change it to ACHI,install windows and plug HDD's again

DrOctopus · Aug 17, 2010

Thanks for the reply. I've actually RMA'd my board as it stopped posting. I double checked this at the shop that i bought the board from and they sent it off.

I'll definitely try the method you mentioned when it gets back. I pretty much did that, except i didn't even plug the HDD's in and i didn't think to change the raid setting. Thanks for the advice.
