I recently purchased a crucial 64g c300 so use as my boot device on my asrock x58 extreme3 board. I have it connected to the marvell sata3 controller and am experiencing problems.
During unpredictable times both in my installation of windows and (now that i have completed an install on the 8th try) I am experiencing problems within windows itself.
Occasionally the device becomes unresponsive, upon a reset, i can enter bios and see that its no longer listed. If i power off and back on, it appears again, then after some time it will go away.
within windows i am seeing freezes and messages along the lines of [windows cannot continue, the device has become unresponsive].
I am coming to the conclusion that either the ssd or the motherboard is faulty. I could test on sata2 to try and pinpoint, but regardless i bought this drive for sata3.
I am hoping someone may have some advice on how i could try to narrow the problem and determine which if any of my hardware may need replaced. Is there any ssd test software provided by crucial?
I have tried different sata cables and tried both sata3 ports. I have also tried 3 OS's for what thats worth.
Thanks in advance.
