System
- Mother Board: Asus Maximus VIII Hero (Bios 1701)
- SSD: Corsair Neutron XT SSD
- Win 7 x64 / Win 10 x64
IssueAfter months of running without issue, my Corsair Neutron XT SSD stopped being recognized by my Asus Maximus VIII Hero motherboard. The specific error I receive during boot up is:
SMART detected HDD/SDD failure 1 : Corsair Neutron XT SSD
I RMA'd the SDD with Corsair and upon receiving the new SSD, I was able to successfully install Windows 10 x64. Immediately after the first re-boot, I received the same error (see above). FWIW: I reset my Bios and then did a CMOS reset before installing the O.S. on the new SSD.
Initially, I thought the error was due to the SSD failing. Now I'm not convinced. If I go into the Bios and override the boot drive, I can successfully boot into the O.S. By override, I am seeing 3 boot options:
Boot Option #1: UEFI: HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH14NS40 (3894MB)
Boot Option #2: P1: Corsair Neutron XT SSD (228936MB)
Boot Option #3: P6: HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH14NS40 (3894MB)
For reference
- Boot Option #1 was not present prior to installing the new O.S.
- P1 is the SSD drive
- P6 is the BluRay drive
If I use Boot Option #2, I can successfully boot into my O.S. I've been unable to disable Boot Option #1 which always gives the error above.
Question: Is there some Bios setting I need to configure for UEFI enabled Bios and SSD's to successfully boot? (I'm not entirely sure, but I believe this may have started when I upgraded my Bios from 1504 to 1601)
Here are a series of images showing the original error and the Bios Boot options.
