So I have a OCZ Vertex 4 256gb that was bought a little over 3 years ago, and apart from wishing it was bigger haven't had a problem with it since I got it until today.
I installed Windows 10 earlier this week with the free upgrade and everything was going fine until today, while my kids where watching a film I got a blue screen informing me of a critical process error and that my computer would need to be restarted. I did and was then met with a 'bootmgr is missing, please press ctrl + Alt + Del to restart' message which after several attempts remained. I was able to get my hands on a Windows 10 boot disk to try and repair the problem but was met with no success, saying things like my drive was locked or that it couldn't repair the problem etc.
After not finding a solution online I decided to reformat and try a clean Windows 7 install with a view to doing the upgrade again, however then found that my SSD wasn't being detected so installed to a spare drive, the SSD is not showing in Windows or in the Bios and I have re seated both the power and sata cables.
I don't have a spare machine to try the drive in, so am hoping its that and not the motherboard.
What do you guys think?
