I think my SSD is dying

MxPhenom 216 · Aug 5, 2012, 04:31 AM

I came home today and found my computer sitting at a black screen saying Please restart and boot from proper boot media. So i shut down and shut it back on and chkdsk started randomly. So wierd. WIth this new install of windows after I got that virus ive been getting some BSOD for the last few says too.

yeah Im running 1.24 firmware. I read that the firmware updater for these drivers dont support the rapid storage technology though so.

Okay fuck OCZ firmware updates. YOu have to boot from a different drive to be able to do an update. So damn inconvenient.

Are you sure it isn't dying, Young Shaver? You may want to reconsider your collegiate financial aide

Flibolito · Aug 5, 2012, 07:12 AM

The OS is on the crucial correct?

Aquinus · Aug 5, 2012, 10:27 AM

Well, you could start from the beginning. What does SMART say?

What has OCZ got to do with your Crucial firmware update?

Unless, your specs are wrong or you are on a different system.

And, the OCZ updater page may state that it does not work with IRST, but on non-raided, it worked fine on the OCZ drives I have (Vertex 2, Agility 3, and a Vertex 3).

MxPhenom 216 · Aug 5, 2012, 03:40 PM

Those SSDs in my system specs are ones I have coming. WHat I have now is a Vertex 2 90GB

Flibolito · Aug 5, 2012, 03:58 PM

ok its says in your system spec that the cruicialm4 is holding your OS. The old firmware causes crashes if this is your boot drive, ( otherwise you just see the disk disappear). updating it to the latest will fix this if this is the issue, I have 4 of these drive this fixes all their issues which are not many.

MxPhenom 216 · Aug 5, 2012, 05:22 PM

I think I have kind of figured out the issue. MSE was showing up a lot of errors in my event log so I uninstalled it and im going to see what happens from here on out

MxPhenom 216 · Aug 5, 2012, 05:54 PM

nevermind. I am getting BSOD 5 minutes after I reboot every time. Im going to do another clean install and see if that fixes it. Going to unplug my storage drive while it does it. Seems like every reboot for some reason the boot order gets all messed up.

Flibolito · Aug 5, 2012, 05:57 PM

do you Bsod less frequently after a cold start?

Hayder_Master · Aug 5, 2012, 06:05 PM

i think new alignment needed it

same amount. doesn't matter. looks like im plagued with the 0xF4 error with OCZ SSDs. Going to try a firmware update and secure erase and do a clean install and see what happens

how do you align and SSD? Is that what secure erase does?

MxPhenom 216 · Aug 5, 2012, 06:54 PM

well, the SSD doesn't even show up anymore. Ive done a clean install of windows on a spare drive I have and my SSD is not detected.............................. My other storage drive is. I am filing an RMA to OCZ for this drive. get a replacement, and then sell it for my Samsung 830 128GB drive. FUCK THIS SHIT!
