So on my new computer I just built if it is on for a long period of time (like 6 hours?) it will either blue-screen or will say it cannot find a boot drive, and on the list of drives available my SSD is no longer there. I really have no idea what could be causing the issue, whether its the mobo, SSD, or bad windows install. When I return and it has crash, the screen is all black with a blinking cursor like it is in bios. But you can't actually do anything.
 
So I re-installed windows and everything worked fine for a while. Now it is crashing more than before. My SSD doesn't use SandForce, or at least it was not on the ones listed there. It is a Patriot Pyro. Any ideas now? Or should I just do another clean install and hope it was something with the copy of windows I had.
