1.2 TB Intel SSD 750 Series trouble

[BHalt1]

My PC has been operating properly now for several months with no issues. However, all of a sudden now my motherboard seemingly does not find the Intel 750 SSD on a cold boot. Strangely enough when I remove the SSD from the PCIe slot and place it back, the computer boots into windows (installed on the Intel 750 SSD). This happens every time. In fact, if I let the PC go to sleep, it happens then too. I am wondering if there is something wrong with the SSD? I have gone through and checked/updated all drivers for the SSD and the computer/operating system/SSD seem to work just fine once I remove the SSD and replace it then boot... This is very strange and I am completely lost here. Again, I have only had the hard drive for a few months and I love it, but I need to find out what is causing this issue. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.

I think it was a bad drive, I shipped it back. Case Number 02230251.

I would like to know what it was.

Hi bkhalterman,

I have the same 750 cold boot probleme with Asus mother board Z170 pro!

However, tell you a good news! This problem has been solved by Asus silently, because

Asus just released the new BIOS version 3007 and solve this problem!

This is BIOS download link: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/Z170-DELUXE/Z170-DELUXE-ASUS-3007.zip?_ga=1.162815164.18... http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/Z170-DELUXE/Z170-DELUXE-ASUS-3007.zip?_ga=1.162815164.18...

Hopefully everything is going to be smoothly to you!

I had the drive go bad on me, Intel sent me a new one. I think I'm going to go with dual 950 Pro's, anyone want to buy a 1.2TB U.2 drive?

I installed that version of the BIOS already, back when I started this thread. That does not help me. I spent another 1300 bucks on a Samsung 960, it works perfectly. I just have the brick Intel 750 sitting on the shelf.
