BIOS does not detect SSD with SMART error

[Alextroy]

Hello.

For about 8 months I have had a PC with Windows 7 64 installed on a Kingston V+200 SSD of 128GB.

From the beginning I have had all kinds of problems, especially with Windows 7 freezing. The OS would completely freeze at random times and sometimes I could cause it to freeze, for example, when trying to update Windows or when trying to unzip very large files (even when on other mechanical hard drives).

After reading on millions of forums and making thousands of changes that I couldn't list, I managed to mitigate these failures a little, although they still occurred.

But well, after resigning myself, I managed to live with it, until yesterday.
Last night I changed the PC's graphics card for a new one, obviously with the PC turned off, and when I turned it back on it wouldn't boot.

I'm not very clear if the BIOS detects it or not, because in the device analysis it does before loading the OS it detects the HD, but next to it says (HDD / S.M.A.R.T Error). I wouldn't know if when it was working that also came out or not.

The fact is that although it detects the disk, at least in that step, when I boot from the Windows DVD to try to repair it or install Windows again, the unit doesn't appear anywhere.

I have read many forums about problems with SSDs and I doubt that I will be able to recover the disk, and even if it can be... I don't want it anymore!
I can't send it for RMA because a piece of plastic where the connector goes broke. It doesn't affect it because it has been working like that for a long time, but I'm sure they won't honor the warranty.

I don't plan to put it as an OS, I bought a Samsung of 256G that doesn't have the damn SandForce controller.

However, I would like to be able to recover the data from this one, which is why I write here with the hope that someone will be able to tell me what happened to me and what I can do.

The rest of my equipment:
MB: Gigabyte GA970A-D3
CPU: AMD Phenom II 965 X4 3.4 Ghz
RAM: 8 Gb Ripjaws (the red ones)
GPU: Sapphire 7950 Oc Boost Vapor-X

Thanks in advance for the help.

Best regards

I had some problems with an M4 with cold boot and hibernation. It almost never detected the disk during boot and I had to leave it several minutes in the BIOS (or in the error that the OS could not be loaded) and then restart, then it recognized the disk. That hasn't happened to me again since I updated the disk firmware, so I recommend that you check if there is any new revision for your Kingston.
