SSD failure

[Kwerty]

Hello hello,

I came home on Friday night to my off PC. When I turned it on it wanted to do a boot repair (think that's what it's called). I fell asleep on my chair (blame the beer). When I woke up my PC was off again. This time it would just hang at the windows logo with that little spinning thing.

Now, the peculiar thing is that my PC doesn't want to boot when my SSD is plugged in (even if I select to boot off of my other old HDD). It doesn't even want to boot off the bootable windows flash disk I made when it's plugged in. When I unplug it it boots fine off both the other HDD and flash disk.

I've tried changing sata cables and plugging into different ports on my motherboard. It's visible in the BIOS.

The fact that it doesn't even boot off of other things when it's plugged probably means it's f00ked. It's still under warranty so I'll probably just RMA it, I just want to get opinions before I do.

PC specs:
i5-4570
Gigabyte H87 motherboard
nVidia GTX 760
OCZ Vertex 450 128GB <- SSD in question
320GB Seagate 5400RPM HDD <- the older HDD i'm now booting off
500W PSU

Thx

Its an OCZ, I don't think there's any doubt as to whether its faulty or not They are prone to hardware failures, in particular power failures.

My ocz agility 3 is from 2010 and still doing duty, not a moments issue, reports 100% health status in crystal bench.

Have you tried checking the SSD by plugging into another PC to see if it works at all, i.e. if it powers up and contents can be read.
If it can be read in another PC I suggest backing up your data and try deleting and re-creating the partition then re-installing (this will lose everything on the SSD)
If can't be read, the RMA it...
