    Inconsistent BSODs, missing SSD on reboot, suspect USB/driver issues


    Hello everyone, I was wondering if you could help me get to the bottom of this. I've been having these blue screens seemingly at random.

    The crash isn't instantaneous. My computer will suddenly freeze for around 2 to 3 minutes before the actual blue screen appearing.

    One thing that I have noticed upon letting the computer reboot is the complete disappearance of my SSD, which is my main drive where the OS is located from my boot menu. So I always need to reboot twice as only on the second time does the SSD show up once again and thus, letting me boot normally. But I've had this problem for around a year, just not as frequent, so while bothersome at times, it would usually stop being a issue before I could actually fix it.

    These blue screens have a very random frequency rate. Sometimes I can have two or three in a day, or a week. I've suspected drivers, or issues with my USB ports at home being at fault, because when I took the desktop tower for analysis and subsequent repairs, no one could find a single issue with it. No BSODs occured in the time that around two or three would have at home. Last time the PC was in the repair shop for around a day and a half consistently on.

    I've included the latest BSOD dump in this post. Any help you can give me is highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello and welcome Wrathpulse now first we need to know exactly what you have in the machine mate so please see this
    Now before we can help we do need to know what is in your machine so please do this System Info - See Your System Specs
    or either enter the specs of your system in your forum profile the specs will appear when we click on that little box bottom left of the post screen it is for me the preferable option as it is easy. As you may appreciate it is very hard when you don’t know what one is working with for example a diesel or petrol engine.
    *(pretyped to save time)

    Now this could be a lot of things

    Code:
    BugCheck F4
    Now because you say the drive is being"lost" and it is a desktop machine can you please check all cables to and from the SATA devices plus all cards and RAM sticks - reseat them all, because the intermittent nature of the problem may well be a lose or even bad cable and having said that maybe an idea to renew the SATA cables and replace with quality ones.

    Plus make sure the machine is clean from crud / dust etc and check the temps on the CPU please use this for that Speccy - Free Download - Piriform

    It might well come to testing the hard drive but lets see if reseating everything makes any difference.
