[GA-X58A-UD5] "A disk read error occurred" after a cold reboot

[jay113]

Hi all,
First of all I have to say that I'm not fluent en english, I'm french. Sorry for all my grammar mistakes.
I've purchased a new SSD drive OCZ Vertex2 120go (firmware 1.25). And I have some very strange problems.
- I installed the drive in the SATA_0 port which is corresponding to the intel ICH10R sata chip. I activated the AHCI mode in the bios.
- I formatted my drive with GParted in NTFS mode.
- I installed win7 on my drive. Everything was fast and very good.
- I installed on the drivers, windows updates etc....
- I reboot a lot of times and I never had an error.

Here is the strange thing. I shutdown my pc (with my pc case button). If I wait for about 1h or 2h and I boot my PC, I have this message :
"A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+alt+del to restart"
The only thing I can do is switch off completely my pc (ie Remove the power cable) waiting for the motherboard is completely off. And after that, I can normally boot on win7.

What's the matter ? Please Help me !!!

Here is my configuration :
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5
BIOS: FC
CPU: Intel Core i7 950
RAM: 3x2Go CORSAIR PC3-12800 XMS3
Vid: MSI NX8800GTX-T2D768E-HD
PSU: Seasonic M12-600
HDD: SSD OCZ Vertex 2 120 Go - Hitachi T7K500 320 Go - Samsung HD204UI F4 EcoGreen 2To
OS: Windows 7 ultimate 64bits

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

The only thing that springs to mind straight away is that it would be worth trying a HDD Delay in  the BIOS of about 5 seconds.

I've tried. It doesn't work

Make sure that the firmware for the drive is the latest and the same for the motherboard. The OCZ drives did have a problem with Gigabyte motherboards that was fixed by a firmware update.

I've got the lastest bios available FD1 and I firmware 1.25 for my SSD drive.
I'm uptodate

Well we are assuming that the Disk error was coupled with the SSD but it is possible that it is one of the other drives so I would suggest removing them for now.

Check the cables to the drive or even change them to make sure.

In take it that you are only running a single SSD not in a RAID array or anything like that.

Thank you Dark Mantis for your suggestions

Good news that you have managed to sort it out on your system but I really don't see that as the proper reason.

So there is no doubt that the AHCI mode with the Intel chip causes this trouble

I have a X58A-UD7 board and I run my Intel ICH10R controller in AHCI mode without a problem, so your guess that maybe your bIOS wasn't flashed correctly is possible and worth checking.
