Bought a ASRock MB with 16GB ram (2x8 1300 - Crucial), GeForce GT710 Video and 250gb SSD - Samsung SSD 850 EVO. Installed all the parts but couldn't get the SSD to be recognized by the BIOS. Read in a post that the BIOS needed to be updated so I did that and the SSD was recognized and I was able to install Win 7 Ultimate on the SSD and everything worked great for 4 days then the SSD stopped being recognized by the BIOS. I tried swapping SATA ports and new cables, reset the bios via the CMOS reset pins but nothing. At a loss as to what the issue would be. Has anyone experienced this issue and have a solution?

| Solved the problem. Turned out that the issue was in the SATA power cable. Was trying to splice together power cables of a Generic 4 pin power cable to SATA end. Moved the SSD to it's own SATA power cable from the 750w power supply and now it sees the SSD. |

Thanks for getting back to us with your solution. The first thing to try with a problem like this is always checking cables  -------------
