OCZ Agility 3 SSD Failure?

[HarukiHanai]

Hi guys,

Not really sure whats just cracked off, so ill just tell you what i know.

Was on my computer on the internet, then blue screen out of nowhere, it was asingle sentence, something along the lines of "program cannot start because ef1 (made up 3 digit code because i cant remember) is missing from your computer, please add the missing files to resolve your problem", so i restarted, then i got random debug codes and usuall ended on code 34, and my computer would restart itself every 10 seconds before POST, left it off for a while then it came to the BIOS and said "Overclocking failed! press f1 to go on a wild goose chase blah blah" even though i wasnt trying to overclock! anyway i reset the bios to default settings and then it loaded up normally but came up with "select a valid boot device, press anykeyto continue" went back to bios, SSD wont show up in the boot options, unpluged all other HDDs and rebooted and it said "no hardrive detected!"

so here i am, note that this ssd has been working for at least 2 months now

any help/suggestions would be great

I used to get something similar with my Agility 3. It was necessary to fully power cycle my PC to get it working again - power off at the mains switch, not just the 'power' button on the front. Then go into the BIOS and check that your SSD is still set as the first disk, and the disk to boot from. Sometimes the BIOS seemed to have forgotten about the Agility and had to be reminded - after which it was OK again.

This problem finally went away with the latest firmware, version 2.22.

What firmware version does your Agility have? If it isn't 2.22, or you don't know, go to the Agility 3 board on OCZ's web site and follow the instructions there.
