SSD fault?

Crucial C300 64 gig

Turn on the pc bootmgr is not found ctrl alt delete to restart

However sometimes it gets into the disk and loads windows, but then it is SO slow, everything takes an age to get to where it needs to go and in most instances it wont complete the task ive asked it to do.

Does this sound the SSD to you guys? If i hadnt seen the bootmgr msg i would be looking at my RAM or Mobo.

Bit stumped, but hopinh it is the SDD as its in warranty, what say you OCUK?

1) i'd wipe windows and just start again, to me it sounds like driver issues making the system so slugish

2) it is an SSD, not a SDD :p
 
i have the exact same problem (i think)

This morning turned on pc and it wouldn't load windows - disk boot error


I have now managed to load into windows and it is fine for a little while then I'll be sending an email or something, pc locks up and thats it, have to restart.

This happened about a month ago and I wiped the drive and reinstalled windows, everythig was fine til I turned it on this morning.

There have been a couple of blue screens but they are there for too short a time for me to read them


edit - a few seconds after I posted I wanted to edit it to add in the type of drive (ocz vertex 2 60gb) but PC locked up and wouldn't respond. I say locked up but I could still move the mouse around the screen but nothing else functioned.

That is exactly what is happening to me, think im going to RMA it with Overclockers. still in the warranty luckily
 
I've created a tech support ticket with ocz so will see what they have to say. Their tech support forum looks to be extremely good....but I couldn't find an answer, just people with the same problem.
 
I had a similar problem a while back. My pc started to randomly hard lock with the hard disk light on, reinstalling windows alone did not fix it. The only fix was to reflash the drive with the firmware then it worked fine.
 
Ive had something similar with an OCZ SSD. It blue screened then the BIOS would not find the drive for about 10-15 mins. Turned the PC back on and it's been working fine since, I updated it's firmware (which was possible without a reformat) so I'll see what happens. It comes with a 3 year warrenty so plenty of time for it to die :P
 
I would try a Firmware update.

make sure it's set in IDE mode before you do it.

Download the firmware from crucials site and but the img file to a CD and boot from CD and follow the steps.
