Intel SSD 535 180 GB SATA3 shows as "SandForce 2000" after soft reboot.

Several days ago my Windows OS started to freeze and reboot spontaneously. After reboot "no boot device" error shows up. When I enter BIOS setup, I see "SandForce 2000" instead of my Intel SSD.

After I power off and power on my PC again, Intel SSD shows up correctly and Windows starts booting.

How do I fix this?

Hi Ohforf,

We understand your SSD stopped responding sometimes and after a power cycle, it starts to work again.

For this situation, we do recommend to you the following https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25348 firmware version link to install to the SSD and fix this situation.

For this update, you need to create either a USB thumb drive or a CD, once you run it and install it, please let us know if the issue was resolved.

Regards,

Nestor C
