    BSOD Suspecting SSD Kingston HyperX


    Is Windows 7 . . . - x64 - the original installed OS on the system? Win7 - an OEM or full retail version? OEM - OEM = came pre-installed on system - Full Retail = you purchased it from retailer - What is the age of system (hardware)? different parts from 1 to 2 - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) NO

    System Spec
    Core i7 930
    ASUS P6X58D-E LGA
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
    Kingston HyperX SH100S3B/120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC
    ^-- I think is the culprit cause it disconects after BSOD, I have to completely shut down computer for it to
    be seen by the bios again

    Try doing a power cycle of the SSD. The following steps should be carried out and take ~1 hour to complete.
    1. Power off the system.
    2. Remove all power supplies (ac adapter then battery for laptop, ac adapter for desktop)
    3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and drain all components of power.
    4. Reconnect all power supplies (battery then ac adapter for laptop, ac adapter for desktop)
    5. Turn on the system and enter the BIOS (see your manual for the steps to enter the BIOS)
    6. Let the computer remain in the BIOS for 20 minutes.
    7. Follow steps 1-3 and physically remove the SSD from the system by disconnecting the cables for a desktop or disconnecting the drive from the junction for a laptop.
    8. Leave the drive disconnected for 30 seconds to let all power drain from it.
    9. Repeat step 4.
    10. Replace the drive connection(s) and do steps 5-8 again.
    11. Repeat step 4.
    12. Start your computer normally and run Windows.

    While that may not be your drive, a power cycle should be the same on all SSD drives. See how the system responds after the SSD power cycle.

    I can't be sure but when I disconnected the SSD from the Sata 6g port to a regular Sata 3g port, it seems that the bsod stopped. It might have done a power cycle then. I know at one point I spent a lot of time in the BIOS and disconnected the power to use another cable from the power supply. I will come back to mark it solved as soon I am sure the power cycle works. :)
