Help New build

[Rexy]

Hi, I am loading windows 8 on a new build. The motherboard is asus p8z77v-premium with the MSATA built in. Processor and the memory, graphics card, and sound card all posted correctly. Entered bios correctly.

I am running a 512GB Crucial M4 SSD loading windows 8. The SSD is not recognized on the boot order screen, however when going into the advanced menu it shows up. I successfully loaded up windows 8. After about 2 hours of inactivity, the computer would crash and no longer wake to mouse or keyboard. I updated the firmware on the M4 and this problem seems to be solved.

However, when I go into disk management, windows 8 seems to have put some information like system on the MSATA. I am not sure why?

Should I try loading windows again, or just remove the MSATA for now and reload windows on the SSD again.

thanks
Rex

If you are up and running why not leave it alone. I have the same SSD with Win 8 and that comp is down for the count right now. I am very interested in your problem as it might be related.

I don't know what MSATA means, but possibly SATA Memory which would be your SSD.

Somebody with a brain will be along and give you the true scoop, just don't let paranoia overcome.... like I do
