Hello.
Recently, I've started experiencing problems with Windows 7 installed on Falcon 64GB SSD. I've had this disk for about a year now and there were no problems, but in the last 2 weeks my computer crashes every hour or so.
First, the system stops responding, and I get alerts "This program is not responding", etc... for every running program, including "Microsoft Windows". About a minute later, I get 0xF4 BSOD.
When I restart the computer, I get "Insert boot device" error. If I go to BIOS setup to look at the order of boot disks, Falcon is not on the list. I have to power down the computer on the power supply switch for few seconds and then start it and it will boot normally, from Falcon. An hour or so later, the same thing happens again.
If I run chkdsk, it reports errors (nothing specific, though). If I run chkdsk /F, the computer simply hangs and reboot is needed.
Browsing this forum, I suspect that the problem might be SATA settings: at the moment it set to IDE. But if I try to switch it to ACHI, I get "Insert boot device" error on startup and Falcon disappears from the boot order list (editing the registry to change Msahci value does not help because Windows do not start up in the first place). I could be completely wrong and off-track regarding this, of course.
Any advice is appreciated - I find it impossible to do anything useful on this computer with crashes so frequent.
